After a year of procrastinating despite the constant support (and sometimes nagging of my friend Alison) I have finally listed some items in the shop area of this blog.

Cannot get over how this year is galloping along.

WYS Florist Collection
The “worst” bit of doing classes at The Wool Haven is seeing all the new yarn coming into the shop. The levels of self-control I have to muster to control my purchases is incredible. One range that appeared around Christmas was the West Yorkshire Spinners Florist Collection. I was doing well at resisting temptation until I was shown The Perfect Bouquet pattern book that went with it.

Fantasy Film (Resin dipping)

Ayrshire Craft Fair
I went to Troon the other weekend to have a look at the Ayrshire Arts & Craft Fair. It’s said to be the biggest monthly indoor craft event, held usually on the first Saturday of the month in the Concert Hall. There were a lot of stalls there so I did my usual trick of grabbing business cards to browse at home. I thought I’d record the details of the stall holders here, firstly to have a record and secondly in case anyone else is interested.

Tie-dying tote bags
Saturday was a lovely Spring day which meant we were able to use the garden for “messy” craft. This was perfect as my daughter had asked if we could make her a new bag for her PE kit over the holidays.

Dragon scale wristwarmers
Also known as Crocodile stitch, Dragon scale is very distinctive and I’ve been planning to try from the moment I saw it. I’ve had the yarn for it in my stash for months.
