Summer

A long overdue post as summer has flown by so fast! It's taken until now, the middle of October, to take a breath and a break. I'm currently sitting in an airport hotel waiting for my afternoon flight home to Shetland after cancellation last night due to Ophelia. A change of scenery and very chilled out company the last few days has definitely helped my post-Shetland Wool Week recovery as well as given me space to take stock of everything this year has offered so far...

Shetland Craft Fair 2016

As I was away with work the whole of last week I'm getting to this post a little later than planned. (be prepared for a lot of photos! so much great work to take photos of and this is only a tiny selection!)

Two weekends ago was our local craft fair...
