Have just..

...updated the website, with a few changes and some new items, mostly handmade.
Have more items to add yet, but time for a break and head out to shop for groceries.

So, in a couple of weeks..

..I will be at Nagambie Lakes Community Market on the Saturday, Sep 5th, and a new, for me, Castlemaine Artists Market on the Sunday, Sept 6th.
So I have been busy spinning, and working on the knitting machine, and the knitter's loom.
Need to get more cardigans and jumpers done as well as beanies and scarves.
Sunday is Father's Day, so good for those last minute handmade gifts. Below is a selection of items ready to go. More on the way.

Girgarre Farmers and Craft Market..

..is on again tomorrow from 8.30am to 12.00pm or a little later.
Shopping for your special yarn in the Yarn Van makes it easier, while handmade items are displayed outside under the awning.
North East Yarns jumpers, ponchos, yarn, tops and felt batts are also available.
Along with my own hand dyed yarns, you will find hand dyed tops, scarves, beanies, and an assortment of other items, all made from the Natural Fibre Wool

Nagambie Lakes Community Market..

..is on again this Saturday. It will all be held in the park in front of the Lake beside the motel.
I have some new yarns which at present are listed on my etsy shop
www.etsy.com/shop/CraftbyColleen

and don't forget to check out the website at
www.colleenscraftsstore.com

But come and touch the yarns in person.
Following a very successful Bendigo Sheep and Wool Show I have limited stock but will be working hard to bring up the levels. Finishing off a new Adult machine knit jumper at the moment.

 

 



Bendigo Sheep and Wool Show

...here I come. Will be in the Osborne building as part of the North East Yarns. Yarns, garments, accessories, wool tops, felt batts, etc.

Currently gearing up for Bendigo Sheep and Wool Show...

..Have been getting wool tops and yarn dyed. 3kg of tops done in single colours, still to do some multicolours yet. 4.5kg of 8ply yarn done in single tone on tone x 100gm skeins. As the skeins are 500gm lots, have to wind off 100gms first. Time consuming but getting it done.
All tops and yarn are an Australian product of sheep grown in Victorian. Definitely made in Australia. Corriedales!

Oh gosh...

..I know I have been neglectful. But my daughter and granddaughter had been her for 2 months and I have been very time poor. They have now found a new home and I hope things will be better. As a mother you never stop worrying.
Anyway I have managed to do the markets and continue making stuff.
Next weekend is the Queen's birthday long weekend so I will be at the Echuca Steam Rally on the Saturday and Sunday in the Indoor shed Market.
Please introduce yourself if you are visiting that weekend.
