Lots of exciting events.....

I know, I still haven't got used to blogging on here..... But I have been very busy with lots of exciting events.
One is the Sturminster Newton Indoor Market. We have been going for 4 months now and each month we are introducing new stall holders. In march we had 20 traders attend, and we have 30 for April and 20 for May. Unfortunatly some months we can only have hte one room so we have to reduce the numebr of traders. But it is going well. All the other traders seem happy and are booking to return. That was my biggest worry - what if traders didnt return, but there doesnt seem to be any problem with that as I have a waiting list the length of my arm! We have been trying to come up with a more catchy name for the market, so if you have any suggestions do let us know - you could win yourselves a £30 Hall and Woodhouse voucher.

Also The Exchange at Sturminster Newton have asked me to organise the stall holders for their yearly Beer festival. So I have been choosing 20 select traders for that.  

AND.... Stamp N Craft in Yeovil have asked me to help them launch their new range of yarns with a 'Woolly car project'. We are trying to raise money for cancer research by knitting squares which will cover a car! Local businsses are getting involved and sponsoring squares which will give them free advertising and we are going to try do get the local TV station down on the 21st April when we create the car.... We are also working on getting Yeovil football team down to help knit squares (under careful tuition obviously!) and possibly even the firemen. We have had a few squares handed in so far, so if you would like to knit a square that would be fantastic.
I am aiming to knit 40 squares by the  21st April (2 Done so far....) so if you cannot knit it would be brilliant if you could sponsor me throught the just giving page.

a good start to the new year......

I know, I said I was going to update this more often didn't I!
Well it has been a busy start to the year.  Organising workshops, stocking up on exciting new yarns, creating new designs.
And as most of you will know I also have been organising a local monthly market at The Exchange in Sturminster Newton. 4th February will be the 3rd one and it is amazing me how quickly it is growing. I have over 45 stall holders on my books and already have 28 booked for february! I got the job of organising the market by accident... I have a problem with saying no! But it has surprised me how much I am enjoying it. It is fantastic meeting new people each month and I feel very honored to be providing a service to the community.
Below are a few websites of traders who will be with us in February.
