harvest festival

The dark night are here  and clocks are going back next week it's safe to safe autumn is here

I love Autumn the colours on the trees

 The reds are so dramatic and  a reminder that festival.season is on the way

 This time of year is full of fun starting from Halloween then fireworks then of course the build up of Xmas seriously am.like a kid despite my children getting to the age when it harder to convince them.of the magic that takes place. 

So today's project was a quick and quirky  salute to Autumn . I hope you enjoy my colourful and dare I say cute hedge hog 

unwinding in brighton

 Well I  back from.the unwind Brighton festival and I loved it below it a blanket  that was designed for the festival. The picture doesn't do it justice but at nearly 200 quid for kit I  decided to get pattern but as yet not available

I was really restrained as I walked about the market . Place  . I bought a necklace kit and these  stitch markers.  I would like to say the restraint was me being grown up and responsible but the a dual festival was geared more to knitting . If it  ad more crochet  I am.sure bag would be bulging 

 These postcodes we were given by various stall.holders  I really like them far to nice to actually send.

 As you can see the sun  was shinning on us yarn  fanatics . The day was full f talks and demos but  as I had family who are non knitters we finished the day on the beach in the arcade.

quick update

Just a quickie I put the button on  and I think it looks much better this comes from.the simply crochet  mag . It was a cover freebie. I was at a loss what to use it for but actually it's perfect

 I will be awol for a few days .as tommorow is my birthday so heading down to the unwind festival at Brighton !!! I have even more reason than my birthday to celebrate I have after six years finished with the open university and proud owner  of a hours degree


I am sure the next post will be my festival snaps enjoy your weekend whatever your plans x 

festival virgin

There are many things I have never done rock concerts , clubbing and yes festival . I don't mind none of these things are really me untill I discovered a festival tailored made for me.

Brighton is very close to where I

 grew up and I noticed there a festival on the weekend of my birthday . The festival is called Brighton unwind and yes you guessed it it's a wool and knitting crochet festival.

I was destined not to go as my other half works most weekends and we live 400 miles away but the fates have conspired and he's off and willing to drive me and we staying at my mum's for weekend. I can not tell you how excited I am.to be going

Here is a link if you fancy reading more about the festival and who knows I may even see you there
