CROCHET MAD

To go with the great crochet clock on the inspiration wall in my studio
we now have 
 an equally great crochet cushion
 both made by Natasja King of Crotchetime
At our Tuesday craft club Barbara and Audrey had both bought some crochet work to show us and Barbara had this lovely book.
We decided that at one of our meetings we would have a crochet night when all those who can crochet will instruct those who want to learn.  We will also have a show and tell of any crochet things we have.  I will have a fine array to show with all my purchases from Natasja and Adrianne of Teeny Weeny Design
How nice of them, I've got a mention on both the girls blogs.

WOOL, SHEEP & CUMBRIAN PEOPLE

Great start to our holiday when we visited 
and got chatting to the lovely people there.
 Linda of HANNALIN CRAFTS showed us the stack of handknitted cushions that have been made by local knitters using wool from sheep from local farms. They have been made for the Olympic Athletes who will be coming from all over the world. It is our way of welcoming them and giving them something to take home that is made in this country.
Linda has a great stock of wools, threads, fabrics, handmade bags, knitwear, throws and all the haberdashery needed to set you going with a bit of knitting or stitching.
Upstairs in the Barn there are antiques, a fantastic range of local crafted gifts,cards,photography and jewellery
A visit is never complete until we have been into HAT TRICK TEAROOM
They do the best soup, sandwiches, coffee and cakes around.

NEXT INSTALMENT.... OUR DAY AT THE RHEGED CENTRE, PENRITH.
Oh, and the winner of the 5000 viewings giveaway is Elizabeth from Wichita, USA
