I sew stuff, I crochet stuff, I make other stuff, I talk about stuff, and well...you know...stuff!

Day trip!

I had an exciting day today! A whole entire few hours to myself in amongst the biggest, broadest haberdashery ever and the objective was to spend money! That's my kind of heaven!

It was of course The Knitting and Stitching Show that I went to!

There were rather a lot of stalls and I think every kind of fibre related craft was catered for. I thought it was kind of lopsided as I couldn't find much to do with crochet. The majority of yarn stalls were strictly for knitters!

I still managed to buy a few bits considering it was so packed I could barely see anything and I even got to sew a little picture!

The best bit was meeting up with Craftyguider again!! We had a lovely lunch on the floor!, a nice natter and we ended up with numb bottoms!

I now have a couple of new projects to start after seeing much to inspire me today! You'll have to wait and see!

Here's a peek at my new stash!

My little make today!

Bought a kit to make another!

These are going to be made into something very pretty!

Hmmm...a bit of rope???

Instructions all written in Japanese but luckily I can work it out from the pictures!

My 'celebrate finishing one semester' project!?
I couldn't resist these teeny tiny buttons!

A knitted village! So cute!
