Hi girls,
Here I'm to tell you more about the craft show....
First, we forgot the camera :(
So I only made pictures with my phone, but it was not really a problem because everywhere there were signs 'please, no pictures' !!
It was in a luxurious hotel , surrounded by a park and a golf course !
Very beautiful and we had a good walk...
Lot's of people ! About 50 exhibitors, and I was a little bit disappointed because there were only 5 exhibitors for Xstitch :(
Lot's of beads, knitting, accessories, decopatch, card making...
Anyway, we spent a good time :)
There were workshops of beading, silk painting, decopatch, card making...very interesting !
I bought a bag ! ( I love bags, and pens... =D)
A knitted bag, that a woman was making for a charity cause....
I've been allowed to take a picture of her, because I wanted to show you her science fiction knitting needles =D
Never saw such needles before !
I found magazines that I don't find in France, no need to order them :)
And I found ribbons, a little magnifying lamp, butterflies stickers and charms
I really don't find charms here :(
I'm happy because I found butterflies charms, I can now really personalise my creations :)
I bought this fabric origami needle book !
I saw some already made and it's really beautiful ! I'll try to make one !
I'll have pictures to show you :)
And most of all, you know now my love for mice, hedgehogs and squirrels (it's because we used to have an adorable degu...) and I couldn't resist to this lovely squirrel, who is now going to be my blog's mascot =D
Any idea for a name ?? =D
I spent a nice weekend
Big hugs to you all coming around here....

Just want to add this picture of Ipswich where we went after the craft show
Nothing very interesting you may say (except knowing to what I look like now =D)...but it's because Arras is the French town where I went to university !
Ipswich is twined with Arras, and the plaque stands in memory of one professor I had =D
just to say that it brought back good memories.... =D
