I haven’t posted in a while so I thought I’d share a few bits and pieces with you. It was my birthday last Friday – we went up to Norwich to see my folks on the Saturday and spent a lovely day with them. On the bus ride in I spotted a door which said ‘Vintage Market’, and I knew I would be dragging everyone inside to see if there were any treasures inside! I have never seen the sign before, but I’m going to make sure to visit every time I’m in the city as it was packed full of interesting things. I found a large old mill bobbin which I knew would look beautiful with the two I have at home. I thought about making them into lamps, but I think they look lovely as a set stood in the corner of my lounge.
I love old fibre-based objects; although they may not have changed much and we use very similar pieces today, it’s lovely to see the history of them. I managed to find an old rug yarn gauge at Wonderwool last year which is so lovely and tactile, you can see all the marks from where it was used.
I spent Sunday lazing around and making felt balls (apologies for the AWFUL photo, this table always looks bright orange in pictures!) They’re for a special project, which I’m not going to share just yet, but hopefully I will do very soon. Keep watching this space, as I’m hoping to make an announcement very soon!
