For a woman who is supposed to have been having a bit of R&R I've been rather busy plotting and planning! But all in a good cause. I am thrilled to announce that I have been asked by Inverness Airport to have a stand at the airport for the duration of the Scottish Barclay Open Golf tournament […]

Happy in the Hills
Wednesday, June 29 2011. Assynt

I've been having a relatively quiet few days. I've been dyeing club yarn, and testing new dyes, and making some exciting plans for an event next week (more of that soon!).But part of the R&R regime has been a good, long walk in the hills. Peggy enjoyed it:The foxgloves are looking glorious! […]

Build Up
Saturday, June 25 2011. Friends

I always find building the stand one of the trickiest things about attending a show. I love meeting the people who come to my stand, that really isn't a hard job - but creating the stand and making it look inviting and enticing is something I find very hard. (can you hear the violins playing?!)So […]

If you could see me now!
Monday, June 20 2011. Friends

I am in the final, panic-ridden stages of preparing for Woolfest at the end of this week. Will I have enough yarn. Do I have the right balance and mix of colours? Do I have the right mix of bases? Will I have room in Mungo for everything I want to take? Will people come? Will they like my […]

A summer walk
Tuesday, June 14 2011. Assynt

Katrina and Ian have been enjoying the surrounding countryside which is completely different to where they live in Florida. We took advantage of a sunny day today to walk along the cliffs between Clachtoll and Stoer beaches. From the house we made our way to Clachtoll beach, stopping only to […]

Friday, June 10 2011. Assynt

I feel like I've been neglecting my blog a little of late, but to be honest I've not really been doing much that would be of much interest to readers! I've really been in my shed, dyeing yarn. Which I love ...... but which makes for boring reading.So ..... if you'd like a good read, get yourself a […]

Just popping in here to say that I've amended the price of the greetings cards to include P&P. I was having trouble getting the correct postage price for the cards, and the P&P was too much, so I have decided to include P&P in the price shown. I don't want to make any profit from the […]
