From Russia with love.

I have loved Lizzy Stewart's work ever since I purchased a zine from the craft fair she organined a couple of years a ago so I am really pleased that she is joining us at MarchéMarché on Saturday. Lizzy's uses pencils, ink and watercolours to draw a big bear that will walk through your town, boats, Russian buildings and ladies with flowery hair. I want them all.

Sunny sunny yesterday I was in Falkirk helping Clare Nicholson of Made in the Shade do some textiles workshops for the Winter Warmth exhibition, in Callander House throughout November and December so take a wee day trip because it sounds fantastic.

Yummy Wool

Good morning.

As the 24th fast approaches I am going to try and blog every day to show you all the treats we have in store so you can save all your pennies and get some early Christmas pressies. So excited.

As I have a few jobs I am not going to list them all but one is an after school workshop at Edinburgh Academy with lots of lovely (when they are not getting red paint all over themselves) primary kiddies. Rachel Henderson leads the workshops and I am her co pilot. Rachel does pretty much everything knitter extraordinaire, workshopper, felter and a few craft publications you name it and Rach has done it.


At the fair Rachel will be selling these fabulous 'Sweet Treat's' knitted teacosy kits.













Yummy Wool Crochet kits.






I'm off to stich stitch stitch.
