Too busy to take photos

 I know I promised yarn bomb photos but it didn't pan out that way. Netherfest was great fun, history talks, music, dance all managed to lure me away from taking photos. On Friday I found myself standing in , leading a workshop on making puppets where nearly every attendee was under five !! Certainly an experience and everyone enjoyed it even if I did spend sometime peeling the glue off my hands haha.

Saturday saw me leading a workshop on spinning, just six of us sitting in the sun and having fun with fluff. We over ran by about 45 mins as we were having such a good time.

I spent the rest of Saturday spinning and answering questions at the craft fair also I can now add gazebo erecting to my list of skills.

If you are on Facebook, festival pictures and videos can be seen on the Nertherfest group site.

As for the promised photos, I offer a teapot

and a dragon.

Speak soon xx

Punk at the Pump ( Steampunk not the safety pin type ! )

 We seem to be in the grip of a rather warm spell with the forecast saying it will get even warmer ( for the UK ) This meant that the best plan of attack for Sunday was to go out for an ice-cream.

We headed off back to Papplewick Pumping Station which I have mentioned before several times on this blog, we are members, get free entrance and they have a cafe that sells ice cream.

Last weekend was the annual steampunk weekend with the Victorian architecture providing the perfect setting.

Plus the chance to show off a few steam engines.

Amongst the entertainment were Boggarts Breakfast Morris.

Videos of the other acts can be found on the Facebook page.

I'm busy over the next few days with Netherfest which involves music, dance, art and craft and plan to follow the yarn bombing trail tomorrow if I get chance.

Speak soon xx
