Whilst in London we visited the BUST craftacular, originally I’d applied to be a vendor but didn’t get a spot, but there were lots of lovely makers that I wanted to see and people that I wanted to meet. We got their early, about 11.15, and the queues were already growing so we decided to hang-out and wait.. it meant we’d be one of the first 100 so we’d get a free goody bag each, too. It was blazing heat, though, so it was a bit shitty being stood outside for ages.
The craftacular was great though, a lovely busy vibe.. I took some photos of the crowds (er, probably should’ve taken other photos but was a bit warm/flustered so kinda forgot). We wandered around for a while and chatted with people that I’ve known online for ages but never met in real life before, so that was nice. Also had an iced tea from Leona’s Iced Tea stall (Leona is the lady behind ladyluckrulesok) which helped cool us down!
I’ll do some separate posts later this week featuring my favourite vendors from the fair, I have a few old faves and some new ones to boot.

Unravel and repurpose, what an excellent crafty idea. Looks like those in charge are having a bit of downtime this month, but I’m excited to see what happens next!

I got this little guy yesterday at the craft fair I had a stall at in Sheffield, isn’t he adorable? Going to hang him on the landing I think. He’s made by Sarah Waterhouse/Plain Jane textiles, she has a folksy store, too!
Lots of things going on today, I’m going to be running an Easter giveaway for FinestImaginary facebook fans, so go ahead and fan FinestImaginary if you haven’t already!

Over the Christmas break I got back into making things with wool. I spent a day knitting myself a knit-two-purl-two cowl (super easy, but a little more fun than a scarf!) and I started an amigurumi project from the creepy cute crochet book. I’ve never really crocheted before, apart from some tiny granny squares, but I think this time I’ve got the hang of it. Ravelry is a GREAT site full of free and priced knit & crochet patterns. Super cool resource!
