Goodies and a new toy.

Today I went with Danny to the Textiel Plus dag. Textiel Plus ("Textile +" is a Dutch magazine) organised a day filled with inspiration, a market, lectures (which we did not attent) and lots and lots of felt (which we did not like)

What we did like was this:


That is, when it became this:

:D So I bought one and Danny has one in back order.
Isn't it a cutey? :)))

I have to wait at least 4 hours now for the glue to dry, so I won't be waeving untill tomorrow.

But I have some other goodies too:

Belfast 32 count linen, white 32 count evenwave fabric and some Lingarn. It's less red in real as it looks like in the picture.

It was a very nice day, and tomorrow I will play with my new toy :)

Fibre craft fair and gifts

Danny and I went to the fibre craft fair in Den Bosch yesterday. We had a great time, bought some nice things and spent some time knitting at the Stitch 'n Bitch table.


I bought a yarn rack, something I wanted for a long time.

The cones with the yarn on it is linen thread and I bought that in Oerlinghausen. I'm planning to tablet weave or card weave with that.

I also bought a fabric cutter, some knitting needle protectors and a book:

Oh, and uhm... yes that _is_ Noro on the top left. Danny and I are going to knit some arm warmers from that. Danny bought also 2 balls; same colour as mine are. :D


When I got home I found 2 packages. One from my Fat Quarter swap partner:

Thank you so much Eve!


And one from my Punk Rock Gift Exchange semi-secret partner:

Thank you Metal and Knit!


As I have a week off from work I have enough to do and enjoy.
So here are my plans for tomorrow:

First I will go to my school (info from link is in Dutch only) for my arts and crafts lessons. We are working with clay at the moment and I made a vase.. some sort of.. Anyway, it looks like a vase, lets put it that way. ;-))

After my lessons I go to visit my mum and dad, finally giving them their socks I knit them and in the evening you will find me at Café De Jaren, to meet my knitsibs (I love that word, Brenda Dayne uses it in her podcast) from my Stitch and Bitch group.


so, I write:
TTFN, CUsoon
