Itchy Fingers

When you've got a creative mind, it can sometimes be hard to focus and decide what to do at any given time.

There is so many things I would like to try my hand at, but lack of space is a serious issue, as is lack of money.
So I have to stick to things that are affordable and don't take up too much space.

I have a habit of wanting to try so many different crafts - in the past it was easier as we had a space room in the house but now we live in a teeny tiny flat space, or lack of it is a serious problem.

I've been wanting to try spinning and weaving for a while but know that having a loom, even a small one is out of the question. 
I did however buy myself a lovely dinky loom from Create with Fibre 

This little weaving loom is only 4" by 4" and is really great for a complete beginner like me.  At only £14.50 it is a really great way to get into weaving. You can order one here


I also started collecting fleece and fibre with a view to doing some textile work but then I watched some videos on Youtube and decided I wanted to do some spinning.

Now as I said, we have a tiny flat so getting a spinning wheel is out of the question. So, I've settled on an alternative - I've ordered a drop spindle!! 

Not sure how it will work out but I'm sure I will write another blog post soon and let you know!!

It finally arrived!!

Hello again. If you remember in my last couple of blog posts I was waiting on a delivery of yarn so that I could finish a crochet bag - well it finally arrived and the bag is now finished.

I've added one of my fabric flower brooches to it as a decoration but it can be taken off and used elsewhere if desired.

Really enjoying making these bags. I find crochet very relaxing to do.

Been trying to think of something simple to make to use up the oddments of yarn and came up with these easy coasters. 

Would make a nice wee stocking filler for Ssssh, you know when!!!!

Catch you later.
