What a week!!


I'm supposed to be getting ready for the craft show at the Forum tomorrow and Sat, so obviously blogging is a suitable way to avoid packing the car and running round headlessly looking for pins etc. Have also completed other worthwhile task avoidance in the form of designing new labels, business cards etc. After meeting with printers last week, I was horrified how expensive these things are! So, I've spent the last hour guillotining A4 envelopes and playing with my printer (the Epson, not the man I met I hasten to add, in case you read this Pete!) I'm pleased with it - looks better printed on a brown envelope - very organic!


Anyway ... the exciting week. Met with the lovely Sheila of Burlingham Hall  thestudioburlinghamhall to talk about felt workshops. She has got the most fabulous studio - it will be perfect. We are aiming for a series of workshops, and have decided to set the ball rolling with a taster session on 21st July. How fab is that!!
Then I got home and my new woman had been delivered:

I think she needs some hair - anyone got a wig they don't want?!
Had a lovely weekend socialising - even watched the football.

Taught my sister how to felt - she made a FABULOUS scarf.

Nice picture of my cooker too - I was in a hurry OK?

Spent a couple of days faffing and felting, then opened my emails tonight to find an invitation to exhibit at a gallery in Corpusty in September - the theme is Mad Hats! Can't wait to get started.

What a week!!
