Not sure what is happening...

...but I usually pay for my webstore  at this time. I have had no invoice from DIYestores and nor received a reply to an email enquiry.
My impression now is that the domain has been sold and some of us might just quietly disappear.
Recently I decided on a little shift towards Etsy as a trial. I sell most of my items at markets.
So please visit my Facebook page under Colleen's Crafts, and watch my etsy store CraftbyColleen as I add goodies.
I post in FB regularly.

This will need some re organising, and I welcome all email enquiries.

Looking for a new online shop...

...I have been procrastinating for a while, but popped into Etsy.com and opened a new shop.
Although most of my yarns are always sold at markets, I still like the opportunity to off an online experience.
So... pop in to CraftbyColleen for a look. I still have a lot of yarns and products to put up so bear with me, it does take time, and hand making the items also takes time. Please enjoy!

Markets..

...for this month will be at ..

Nagambie Lakes in Blaney Reserve, this Saturday.
Girgarre ..Sunday week
Mooroopna... 3rd Sunday of the month.

It is still cold weather in this area, so beanies and fingerless mitts are available for the remaining cold weather.
I have been working on some new handspun yarns, and I have hand dyed 4 ply yarns still available.
I am outsourcing some Superwash Merino 8ply for dyeing, and hopefully they will be here in about a month, then dyeing will be happening.
Have dyed some fleece over the last few days.
Machine knits are still available, but I have only a limited supply. I took over to the Northeast, a couple of poncho/wraps in 2 colours from Bendigo Woollen Mills, and they will be available at Violet Town with the North East Yarns. Forgot to take photos as I only finished them Monday night and I left at 9am to go to Milawa, where I sat spinning and chatting with the Wangaratta Spinners.
