A very colourful day

Much dyeing has gone on this evening, and yesterday (and before that too), all in preparation for BOB next weekend.  It looks like being a cracking show with lots of crafty goodies.  I've got some new colourways and new base yarns, and also (dun dun dah, as the kids say) I've being trying my hand at dyeing fibre!  I've got some gorgeous BFL roving dyed in some of my trademark colourways.  So come and see - you know you want to!

This afternoon we had a trip to a large Swedish furniture store, which turned into craft heaven.  Rebekah and I ended up colouring in on a tablecloth - yes, they have designed fabric to colour in! (I had words with R about colouring other fabrics when we get home though.)  And the bigger girls made houses with lots of fabric and ribbon and glue.  Lots and lots of glue.  Apart from fending off Rebekah wielding marker pens it was a very enjoyable time.
