This rainbow was glimmering outside my window this morning, just asking to be photographed.
HANDMADE: A Festival of Making was great fun over the weekend. Much sewing, stitching and printing was done in my classes, and it was great to see so many happy people getting creative.
One of my favourite elements of the festival each year is meeting up with crafty friends from around the country. My dear friend Heleen was doing quite a bit of teaching, but I managed to drink coffee and eat nice food with her inbetween. And there were other friends to chat to and catch up on their projects and news.
I bought some of this beautiful hand-dyed yarn and started yet another knitting project. Will show you soon, when I've made a little more progress…
The pretty floral fabric in the first photo above was a gift from my newest friend Constança. She travelled from her rural town to take some classes at Handmade, but she is originally from Portugal. I'll write more about Constança and her work, including a new book, tomorrow.
