Supplying Trap Art Yarn..........

Welcome to a new week here at 
The Old Dairy.



We have busy around here making lots of melts. At the moment
everyone wants them and I am making them weekly.

This photo was taken last month at the Ipswich Handmade Markets.
I will be there again this Saturday from 8-2pm.


I am pleased to announce that I am now supplying the wonderful 
Trap Art Yarn.
Trap art is a Spanish brand and product that is made with high quality
recycled textiles. You can use this yarn to crochet or knit by using the larger size 10-15ml 
needles or hook..I am using a 10 crochet hook but others here are using a 15.

      


This mat I am using the 10....I love the bright bold colours of this yarn.
Above is a sample of what I have in stock.


With the cold weather here we have been also making beanies. This one is made from Merino wool, I love all the colours in it. I am going to make a shawl from this as well.


The poncho below has felted embellishments front and back, it is
a amazing piece and is for sale for $60
The scarf is hand spined silk and mohair and is $40
They are both one off classic pieces

These pieces are made by
the very talented Maureen Winser a local artist and also my Mum.
Want a chance to meet Maureen and see more of her
work? Well she is looking after 
The Old Dairy for me on Saturday while I'm doing the Ipswich market.


Mum is not the only artist in the family,
next week I will introduce you to my Dad and show case some of his amazing work.

Until then 
Have a great week

Craft Day @ The Old Dairy.

Welcome to the end of the week.
I bet there is a lot of you looking forward to the week end.
I will be busy today and Saturday doing markets and the shop.



I love my old milk separator at the front door of 
The Old Dairy.
hmmm just noticed the welcome sign has been decorated by my grandson.



Lots of new goodies in the shop this week.
The handmade sign above is made locally and the lady Cassie that makes them
also does them made to order.

Below is the new range of Tye dyed baby items made by another local lady Jasmine.
Cassie makes the pillows, I love the Retro fabric she has used in these two.




I am having fun making pom pom garlands this week, I find the teenage girls love them along with the hippy chick socks, that all sold out last week end.


 I am finding that locals are coming to me wanting to sell there arts and crafts which is just what I wanted. Some where for those that love to create can sell there work and then have some spare money to keep the addiction going. hahaha

We had our first craft day last week and it was a real success, 8 ladies turned up and we had lots of fun. We are all wanting to knit and crochet at the moment and are learning so much of each other.



Lucky I have a nice range of cotton and bamboo yarns available as well as needles and hooks.
Craft is going to be on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of the month, so if you are about drop in.


Enjoy your week end and I hope you fit a little bit of what you 
love to do into your week end.
