I'm Back! . . .

If you're wondering why I have been MIA , its because I had a freak accident and damaged my knee quite badly. It's been a rough two weeks. I am recovering well and can now hobble about without the aid of wheelchair or walker.  During this time I have really missed my morning walks. In anticipation of resuming my walks , hopefully in a couple of weeks, I made a pouch-thingy-ma-bob to hold my camera and cell phone .

It is crocheted with hand-dyed eco-cotton from ONE OF A KIND YARNS. This varigated blue skein of  their yarn was sent to me as a gift by a very special FaceBook friend.  I crocheted the pouch with a pocket. Thus the main compartment holds my camera and the smaller pocket on the front holds my cell phone.

I then embellished the pocket with fabric and beads and sparkly braid.  I also made a fringe at the bottom of the pouch with beads, a teeny tiny bottle with the word HOPE in it and a feather found in my garden.

I had great fun with this project and cant wait to start using it on my morning walks.

 

Wishing you all a wonderful week.
much love

Fibre Arts n Crafts Fair.....

On Saturday 13th April my friend, Linell, and I set off on our "annual" outing to a tiny little town/village called Wakkerstroom. It is a two hour drive from where we live.  The Natural Fibres Fair is held in a small church hall in the middle of town.  It's packed with sellers of natural fibres, natural and handspun yarns, wools, embroidery, sewing, weaving, crochet, knitting and so much more.  A feast of colour and texture.  So much inspiration - it makes your head spin.

 After the Fair we went meandering around the village looking at all their quaint little shops and stopped for lunch in one of  the eateries.

What  a lovely day !!!!

This is what I brought home......

What I would have liked to have brought home too......

PLUS  tons more YARN of course.... :o)
