An exciting day

Today i took some of my handmade things to a shop in Carlisle that have asked to stock them! To say i was excited is an understatement! I only took a few bits and pieces to see how they do so fingers crossed they will do well!

My mummy came with me and we spent a lovely afternoon - we went shopping, had a drink and some lovely homemade pea and ham soup in a little coffee shop, them we bought a film to watch tonight. She's coming with me tomorrow to the craft fair in penrith to lend a hand, i also plan to make progress with my knitting as a week on from starting it and i've only done 24 lines :(

I also made a little cupcake felt badge before going to town this morning.......

....it made me smile!

I also received the name of the person who i will be sending my mug too, as part of the mug swap! Very excited!

I still have lots of things to do before the fair tomorrow and where setting off at 8am (unorganised as usual)

Learning to Knit...

After a recent visit to my wonderful Aunty Mamie in Aberdeen, encouragement from my mum and inspiration from the wonderful Daisie, i have started to knit!

I started by trawling the markets in Carlisle until i found the most amazing wool - all pink and fluffy!

I then spent just aslong trying to find a pattern that i would be able to follow and that was simple enough to allow me to produce a reasonably decent outcome - or i fear i will be dissappointed and give up - i need to stay positive!

I eventually found one that only required me to knit two very large rectangles, sew them together and hey preston...i shouold have a poncho!

So far i have done about 1/3 of the first rectangle...

So stay tuned for the outcome!

Much love
