Geelong Fibre Forum and catching up!

It has been such a long time since I posted here! Facebook is where the action seems to be but it's great to be able to say a bit more right here!

Some time in hospital with an erratic heart has slowed me down, along with a trip North for some R&R and lots of sun, but back in action now!

 Precious Purl and Lara Downs are spending the week in Geelong at the Fibre Forum.

This is held each year at Geelong Grammar, such a lovely setting and I have even had some time to take a walk around the huge campus right on the edge of Corio Bay, beautiful!

We will still be here on Friday 8-5 and Saturday 8-1. This is a great chance to pick up some crafting supplies from we Traders in Darling Hall, along with amazing student work produced during the week, Textile Exhibitions and a Bazaar on Saturday, featuring work of tutors and students for sale.
We also have lots of SPECIALS! The prefelts to my left in the pic are reduced by 40%!! There are not many of these left after the first few days of trading so be quick!

We also have 50% off many yarns from last season! There are multiples of all the yarns featured in the wooden box.
Hope you don't miss this show, it's always a buzz, especially Saturday!

Gorgeous hand Dyed prefelts to add to your felting.

Felted swatches can be turned into flower brooches such as this one. A great way to use a special button!
