Norbury boat festival

Next outing is the Norbury boat festival at Norbury Junction, Staffs. Lots of narrowboats, music and crafts! We will be in the craft tent on Sunday 1st May from 10am with hats, brooches and a really cheap sale box!

Back to it, at last

We have now moved into a house on the beautiful Long Mynd in Shropshire and are happily making away. I've just been to the Colinette factory shop at Llanfair Caereinion and bought lots of yummy mohair to mix in with felting wool (from knitting 4 fun) to make a new batch of hats. Pinks, reds and blues mainly. I'm also in the process of making an etsy shop, but there never seems to be enough hours in the day! Colin is making more felt brooches, mainly in lovely natural shades this time from named breeds of sheep.
Planning some shows in the next few months so watch this space...

What an odd year!

Back in Shropshire for a couple of months. Scotland didn't work out, ended up in Cornwall (could we have picked anywhere further away??) and now back to Much Wenlock. Still knitting and doing a couple of craft fairs.

We have moved!

We moved to Scotland last week after a job offer. All very sudden, so no more Shropshire markets. We still have stock and can supply things by post and knitting commissions are still being undertaken. New number is 07748 707242.

January 2010

Another year over. The baby is 3 so not really a baby anymore! Our next market is this Saturday, 9th January, the Fair in the Square in Shrewsbury. We are having a sale of baby jumpers and knitted slippers for babies and children as we have decided not to do them anymore except by special request! We don't sell many and feel that people think we are just a baby stall, when we do lots of other things as well. We are going to specialise in hats of all types for all ages, felted booties and soaps, and a few other things like teacosies and mittens depending on season. Of course if anyone wants anything in particular, we are happy to make it.
Well, looking forward to -3 degrees on Saturday....

Lovely Malvern!

Yesterday we did the Malvern Christmas Lights fair - it was amazing! Organised by Steve Boffy, and our best event yet.
Still erratic internet access though so limited entries on the blog sadly. Hopefully more pictures some day soon. Our next big weekend is next weekend when we have 2 days at the Frost fair at Attingham Park and Much Wenlock and Bridgnorth xmas fairs at the same time. Colin has his first go at manning the stall and he's scared, so if you see him, be kind!

Back in Shropshire

Little Florence modelling a little tunic, she wants to keep this one!

Met lots of people, and made lots of things. Credit crunch has made things a bit tight, but we stay optimistic! We've changed a few dates, and at some you might even meet Colin!
