Sydney Craft & Quilt Fair 2010

I went to the Sydney Craft & Quilt Fair yesterday afternoon. It was a fun afternoon and gave my wallet a good workout. Here is my latest crafting supplies acquisition. Ahh, so much to do. So little time...



You'll have to exclude to poor quality photo. I think its time for a new camera.

Life of late...

I know I have been neglectful of posting to blogland lately, but I have been keeping up to date with everyone's blog. I just haven't had anything to blog about lately. I have been busy getting ready for my upcoming prac and havent been doing many crafty things in my spare time. I have been reading 'Sustainable Fashion & Textiles' by Kate Fletcher. It's very interesting and informative. I would definitely recommend it if you are interested in anything fibre related and sustainability.


I've also been doing a bit of knitting and trying to plan a trip to Europe next year.

Happy crafting :)

I finished my Monkey's!

Yay! I finished my monkey socks in the early hours of this morning when I got home from work. I'm so glad they are finished, I just need to block them!

Have a good weekend!

Dear silk, I hate you!

Well, not really. I love the fibre silk. It is one of nature's most beautiful fibre's. It's just I can't knit with it. It grabs my knitting needles like it's holding on for dear life and makes my life hell. I've tried knitting twice with Kaalund Yarn's Enchante in Wisteria and I end up frogging what ever I'm making in frustration. So, it's official - I will never knit with 100% silk again.

Lush Yarn Lucky Dip

Yesterday I received a package on my doorstep. It was a box with some pretty yarn in it. Three skeins to be exact. I knew that there would be something green in there, but I had never seen the yarn before. I had purchased a green lucky dip from Lush Yarn. I opened then box in anticipation of whats inside and was surprised by these lovelies!
