Going Global

Well, on Etsy anyway :)

Have opened an account with www.etsy.com so can sell some lovely bits of quilting for some fabric dollars, hopefully. Check out FankleQuilting on that great site. Plus have a couple of commissions for the new year. It's all looking rosy at casa crabbit - apart from the water in the cellar. Thanks to all the lovely rain we've been having, along with the rest of the country, the burn beside the house has overflowed into the founds. Nice. Not by much, but enough to cause floating loose insulation. On the phone to SEPA it is then.

Goodbye to a friend...

Sold this beauty today. Thanks to everyone who visited the stall, hope to see you around soon.

PS it was finished, not the top all by itself. Honest.

late night tv


Ok, so 10pm isnt late night, but watching it on 4OD at 11.30 probably counts a bit. Have really enjoyed watching Fresh Meat on channel 4, absolutely brilliant, takes me back to my uni days, although we werent all that photogenic. Almost as good as True Blood - how come all the good shows are on Channel 4 just now?

Ach well, def not complaining.

Been out today, to West Kilbride, where the lovely Lilith resides at Old Maiden Aunt, a gorgeous shop with gorgeous soft strokeable yarns and amazing vivid colours. I succumbed of course, I challenge anyone not to!

So am knitting a hot water bottle cover from my own design with a stash angora wool mix, that is turning out ok. Will try to post some pictures when I finally charge the camera battery...

waiting for inspiration to strike

More like waiting for the tiredness to go away. Been a busy few days at casa crabbit, loads of folk visiting, work going on both domestic and otherwise, with a very tired hubby and tired self and daughter to cope with. Not much creativity happening, other than the constant quiet background sock knitting. For me. Socks knitted by me. for me. This never happens. So I am claiming this pair for my own toes this winter, which is supposed to be a cold one.
The Blighter will be getting a welly sock pair immediately after. When I can be bothered :)
