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

Cake Stands....



 This week I am making Cake Stands.
Below is a cup stand that has proven very popular.
They are all made from Good English China.
The cup Plate Stands are $15


 My problem is
I Love all the plates I have, yes all 100 plus of them.
Some are in the shop the rest are hiding in the house. Then 
I have to make a chioce what plates to use for stands.



The Cake Stand below I need to drill holes into
as yet I haven't broken any but it is still nerve wracking choosing what plates to use
in case I do.
These Stands are 
$25


This week I am only open on Thursday 19th 
As we are doing a quick Road trip to Charters Towers for our Grandsons 2nd Birthday.



This Thursday is also our craft day
From 9:30 onwards.
We are all knitting and crocheting this week, so I have lots of new yarns in the shop


Enjoy your week
Make sure you take some time to do what you love...

Vintage wishes
