This is the story of how I am going from rags (I have worked in retail and the clothing industry for the past 20 years) to stitches. After learning as much as I can about retail, wholesale and designing I am going back to my first love of knitting and crochet. Working from a little Studio in Wincanton Somerset.

Spring is here :)
On Sunday I was at The Dairy House for the 2nd Vintage Textile Fair. There were lots of guest stalls outside full of gorgeous vintage textile related goodies and inside was packed full of beautiful antiques, clothing and furniture. There has been a major reshuffle inside and Sue from Vintage to Victorian has got even more drawers to rummage through full of buttons and vintage fabrics.
We were very lucky with the weather, I managed to sit in the sun most of the day (inbetween serving customers of course) Above is Justines stall from Pink Milk on Etsy , she uses a lot of Fabrics from The Dairy House in the making of her gorgeous cushions.
Yesterday Arthur and I went with a friend and her son to Brokers Wood near Westbury and had a fab day out. A picninc by the lake and a wander through the woods, where all the flowers are about to come out.
We have been so lucky with the beautiful sunny weather and I am lucky that I have been able to take advantage of it. We even had our first barbeque with a nice glass of Pimms. Perfect :)
