Hello, thank-you for stopping by to take a look at my blog.
Apologies in advance! I am not very disciplined when it comes to this blogging lark so if I seem a little disorganised , or i have not updated it for months, even years.. it is most probably due to my lack of IT skills/ organisation/ lazyness!
I have been trying my best to get on and make things for my up coming craft fair on the 10th March @ Barnsley civic. Not easy! Anyway here are a few bits and bobs for starters....please feel free to comment and give me feedback!
Goodbye 2011 and hello shiny, new 2012! I haven't made any new years resolutions but I am going to try and get more 'crafty' this year. I have a few things in the pipeline...Donna Wilson workshop at YSP in February, a neon lighting workshop in the spring and I have just signed up to do a craft fair in March... It is a long time since I went down that route but it will hopefully get me into gear for adding some handcrafted items for the little etsy shop. So many ideas, so little time!
I went to see the new Donna Wilson exhibiton at the Sculpture Park this morning. Miserable day so the park was lovely and quiet; perfect for a mooch without the hoards of folk.
Donna Wilson's work is so bright and quirky, it really brought a smile to my face and made me want to pick my knitting needles up again!
As a little Christmas treat for myself (again!) I have booked onto Donna's Cushion workshop in February..can't wait!
Well what a funny ol' weekend I have had! Talk about extremes... On Saturday evening I went into Town to see AC/DC tribute band 'Dirty DC'. According to 'Kerrang' magazine they are one of the UK's best tribute bands!..I like most kinds of music and love a good 'mosh' but to be honest i am not that clued up on AC/DC. I went along as it was as part of a friends birthday night out and I can honestly say I enjoyed it! I especially liked the bassist in the blonde wig!! The apron part? ..well I have decided to part with a few lovely textile finds this weekend too. I find it very hard to pass on vintage textiles and the 3 little aprons I have listed on Etsy are especially lovely...but I guess you can only wear one at once!
