Harrogate Knitting and Stitching Show

11 / 27 / 12

I went to the Harrogate Knitting and Stitching Show on saturday. Wow! So many of my favourite things under one roof. I didn’t get many good photos as it was simply PACKED.

My favourite stall of all had to be Favourite Fabrics (coincidence?!). So many beautiful fabrics all arranged by colour, plus gorgeous ribbons and more patterned binding than I knew existed!

Favourite fabrics have a website here but I think they mainly sell from their shop or on eBay at the moment. I wish I lived near their shop, it looks fantastic. On second thoughts, maybe it’s a good job I don’t, I’d be broke!

Then there was the knitted village. So much work must have gone into this, respect to the knitters!

I missed Tuesday again due to poorliness AGAIN. Better now, thank goodness!

Anyhow, the festive season is definitely near enough to be mentioned. So I made a snowflake treasury of gifts and pretty things to decorate the home with this Christmas time.

Swirling whirling snowflakes!

Autumn fun

11 / 12 / 12

We went to Bolton Abbey yesterday, it was a beautiful day and the scenery was just lovely. So many different shades of copper, orange, yellow and red in the leaves. Although my little boys were a little reluctant to do too much walking. I took loads of photos but it is so hard to capture the surroundings well, very frustrating!

Well, it’s been a busy old week, what with a weekend away, then back to school after half term, and just to top things off, a sicky stomach bug for me. woohoo! I’m better now, thankfully. But I hate being poorly, it’s such a waste of time.

Anyhow, I’ve just had a restorative browse of Etsy and made me a little sparkly & glittery treasury to lift my spirits:

‘sparkle & shine’

I do love a little bit of sparkle! enjoy x

Thursday is not a “working” day for me, just toddler taming and potty training and errands, woohoo. Fortunately said toddler had a lovely nap in the middle of the day, giving me a quiet hour working on various crafty projects. I’ve finally used some of my “Oh Deer” charm pack in a baby quilt for a friend, photos to follow, so I cut the wadding and backing for that. And I cut out a few zippered pouches for my next craft fair on 8th December. Jobs well done.
