Wednesday 9 September 2009







Well, the kids are back in school/college and I'm trying to get back into a routine (....). It has been a very busy summer, with craft fairs and keeping ontop of orders. I've met lots of lovely people who love fibres etc. as much as i do and also some who are getting into crafting. I've done a "Medieval Day" in the village which I enjoyed, even though I got soaked. I've already booked my spot for next year, along with the xmas fair that will be in the same place.



I'm planning on doing some workshops in the village aswell, during the half term holidays.



I've been busy dying fleece with natural dyes - some success', some not so good results (but I dyed them with chemical dyes). There were lots of complaints about the "awful" smell in the kitchen. Hence it was only done when I was home alone. Also I've actually managed to get a bit of weaving done, cushions and a rug or two. The photos are here to prove it. I haven't taken pictures of the dyed fleece as yet, but I will get there.



Bye for now as it's dinner time and I'm starting to feel hungry.

Hi, I got my loom and have had a go already! It really is quick and easy :)

You should be able to see the results here

If that doesn't work I'll try and blog it here soon.
