It's been a busy week with a few trips out and a little bit of crafty activity.
On Saturday I went on our works outing with Tilly Tea Dance.😃
We went to Builth Wells in Mid Wales to the Wonderwool Wales Show.
Three halls full of gorgeous yarns and all sorts of woolly goodness and equipment kept us busy for about four hours. It was a perfect chance for Max to replenish her stocks for her artwork and workshops.
Just look at this lovely stuff
We also saw where the wool comes from..
Angora goats and Jacob's Sheep.
My own crafty activity has been the making of this Springtime twiddler..
.
This week I must get my head around some ATCs and maybe a little gift for a raffle prize.
I hope you are all well and trying to make the best of a long, cold April. We did have a pleasant day with sunshine yesterday so hopefully things will improve.
Enjoy the May Day Bank holiday

ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful colors of yarns...and those twiddlers too. Loving the sheep photos. I had a pet lamb Venice...his mother died so we kept it in the barn and he followed us everywhere during the day. When mom was gone once in awhile we'd sneek him in the house !!! Happy May Day.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous wooly stash....soooo yummy. Good luck with the ATCs.

Bet that was a great day out, gorgeous colours of the wool. Love the photos of the sheep too and your new Twiddlers are gorgeous. It has actually been sunny here today though it has gone cloudy now. Wishing you a very happy woyww, Angela x12x
ReplyDeleteWasn't it lovely to see the sun briefly yesterday?! Literally the calm before the storm that is coming this evening for us. So lovely to see all the lovely yarn etc from the show - such beautiful colours. Have a great week, Lisa-Jane #7 www.prettymypage.co.uk
ReplyDeleteI love a good fiber festival. I miss being a shepardess, tho not the time and money ! More fun to just visit. Looking forward to swapping for the 15th anniversary! Robyn 20
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit and I was just admiring all that beautiful wool in all its glorious colours! I have always been fascinated with needle felting and all the amazing things that people make. I'm very much a newbie and very slow but I do enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteI love your Springtime twiddler, so much beautiful detail. Enjoy your crop Michelle x #19
Beautiful wool and twiddlers. Arrived at our first site of the year yesterday. Beautiful views. The wind started in the evening, kept going all night, then about 7 am two of the bands holding the awning down snapped and as my husband was trying to do something, the awning flipped over the caravan! Disaster, ripped awning, broken poles! What a start to the holiday! Angela #15
ReplyDeleteLovely post Jo, I'm soooo glad after ages blogger is letting me comment, (so far!)
ReplyDeleteLove all that wool, I would buy it just to have it! Love your twidder so much, a lovely taste of spring! Have a great week, Happy WOYWW!? ((Lyn))#16
What beautiful skeins of wool! So colourful and fluffy! I wonder what the sheep think of it all? Your Twiddler is very spring-like and lovely! Have a great week, Lindart #22
