Festival week and no knitting or felting!!!

I did take my knitting bag... really I did. 
But somehow the festival spirit took over and I picked up my needles only once. 
HesFes (Home Educators Summer Festival) 
It's a family festival safe and loving, welcoming to all. It's hard to describe what it means to us, a week of freedom and acceptance with folk who understand home education because they are on the same journey.
For one glorious week I forgot my age and had a fantastic time with my daughter and our amazing and wonderful friends. 
 We had a joyful week with early morning cuppas
And beautiful skies.

Emma and I made rag rugged brooches together in a workshop
All ages working together, to make and create...
Music...
And laughter...
A picnic hamper for a table, held everything I needed for a  relaxing week. candles, incense and  insect anti -bite cream!
  The last evening we stayed up till dawn.
 Emma never made it into bed at all!!!

About Me

My Photo
. I love to create, always have... even as a child I was always up to my ears in fabric, yarn, paper and glue. So now I create bags, the process I use developed over time, and is still changing, each new wool or design presents it's own challenge. So I don't get bored. Craft Shows are so much fun,meeting folk, both customers and other crafters. I always get such a buzz when we are setting up and a plain old marquee or hall gets transformed into an arcade of interesting creations.
