Today at Lee Green Open Studios

Today was the 1st Sunday of the Lee Green Open Studios.

purpleclaire textiles, Jenny Dennison-White & me, showed and sold our handmade works.

Anyone can come for free and try pegloom weaving, knitting and extreme knitting, then you can buy a handmade pegloom or knitting/crochet kit with yarn and a pair of bamboo knitting needles or bamboo crochet hooks.

It was a very busy day, meeting people who left inspired to make & create. We even met some people who were intrested in joining our Monday craft group!

Lee Green Open Studios is open again next Saturday 17th November from 12pm-7pm and Sunday 18th November 12-6pm. Hope you can make it.

Here are some pictures to get your taste buds going:

*PROJECT LINUS 

Project Linus originated in America, December 1995 when Karen Loucks saw a newspaper article showing how much a comfort blanket had helped a child cancer victim and decided to organise blankets for her local children’s cancer unit and started spreading the word. Since that time over 3,000,000 blankets and quilts have been delivered worldwide. (www.projectlinus.org)

Project Linus started in the UK in March 2000 as a result of a quilter’s desire to help children in need. It has now spread to cover most of the UK. To date they have delivered over 116,000 quilts and blankets. They always try to get the blankets delivered to children who are local to the makers (http://www.projectlinusuk.org.uk/ ).

*eBay….we are there too!

Following our plans for world yarns and fabrics domination, we have now started to sell our goods on eBay, which is good news for those of you that cannot visit the shop.

Their Seller name is yarnia_uk, and you can shop in their dedicated store. We are adding items on there amost daily, and a good deal can now be had by all!

Yarnia do not have a mail order site, but they are happy to post items to customers.

Wow!  This blog is in 6 parts!  That’s my bigggest blog ever, plus i’ve still got more pictures on my phone!  However, it’s been worthwhile, as Yarnia is a great store, with a great range, thanks to Nicci & Trish.

Take some time to go there, & tell them I sent you.  Let me know how you get on.

So, until the nexdt time.  Keep crafting.  Keep creating.
