WASH-FILZ IT ROVING AND YARN

You can get Filz-It from lots of places but l get mine from ABAKHAN
and l buy quite a few balls when it's in the sale....although USA prices are even bettwr for those of you wanting it over there..lucky you
They also do the roving but l've never used that had my roving off Ebay and a local fibre artist

House view at 10.30 and l was going to the Colinette Mill after but may go another day 'cos of the snow!!


A POEM FOR YOU....

1.I will not stuff craft supplies in every corner of my house
2.I will not keep 9 projects going at one time
3.I will not pick up more buttons,lace or fabric when I have a ton at home
4.I will not let my crafting area look like a condemmed area.
5.I will not relegate the kitchen table to crafts.
6.I will not attend craft shows just to get more ideas.
7.I will not stock up on more craft supplies just because they are on sale.
8.I will not go off on a tangent when anyone mentions that little word 'import'
9.I will not let my crafting distract me from fixing dinner.
10.I will not stay up all night crafting.
11.I will not save dryer lint,empty cereal boxes,detergent scoops etc.
12.I will not buy every craft magazine I see.
13.I will not make promises I cannot keep...see you at a craft show
