Something crafty!

Prompted by a nudge (well actually a nice big shove would be more of an apt description) from my lovely friend, Alison, I thought it was about time I made another post. I've got some pictures to post too but I still haven't figured out how to do that...

So, what have I been up to? Well today was a gloriously sunny day so me and Alison took our friend Janes' dog (Ollie) out for a walk at Fine shade wood. My sister came along too and brought my niece and nephew, Ollie had a fine time chasing his bean bag toy and jumping in the mud and my sister had a not-so-fine-time pushing around Emilia's pushchair with a flat tyre. I had a really good chat with Alison about plans for my stall at a local craft fair that's coming up. I've decided to test the water with some cute baby clothes and maybe see if I can drum up some interest in knitting to order. I'm going to be sharing stand space with Jane, who will be selling an assortment of yummy yarn, and I can't wait to see how we both get on.

I've also been trying to arrange a stash swap (with May 22nd as a provisional date) so that I can get together with knitting friends and do some swapping. I'm not sure what I'm going to swap but I'm sure I've got something hiding in my stash looking for a new home. I'm not sure where the swap is going to be held yet so watch this space or get in touch if you have an idea for a venue. Who knows? If the weather is good, maybe I could hold it in the park
