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!!
