I'm back, did you miss me ? ( Tour de Fleece update )

 I have my laptop back so I'm taking the chance to try it out whilst grabbing a coffee and sausage sandwich at my favourite cafe.

The offending files have been removed and since this used to be my mother laptop , I asked him to remove her profile, pictures and documents as I have these backed up elsewhere.

So what have we missed, a couple of weeks ago we went to the Major Oak festival at Edwinstowe. In case you don't know, the Major Oak is a very old tree famous for its connection with Robin Hood.

                                  As you can see, the last 800 plus years have taken their toll.

People had the chance to try our various wood crafts, textile crafts, archery etc.

                    Diane from Murmuring wheel and Nancy provided the spinning demo.

                We spotted these wonderful gates as we left, studded with small creatures.

A few days later I was walking around Netherfield, admiring the new Festival banner and spotted some mosaics made by the local children.

 Fibre, knitting, Tour de Fleece update.

 Tour de Fleece, I've decided not to participate this year for a couple of reasons. I've found that I am spinning most days and have now reached a natural break to do some stitching for a change. I also have a busy couple of weeks coming up with the arts festival and a couple of trips away. I hope to be back with the tour next year.

Fibre, I'm busy taking advantage of the good weather and washing fleece most days,

Latest knitting and spinning.

I think I'm all caught up now, I'm going to try and get back to my weekly posts :-)
