We are back from our holiday in Gran Canaria and we all really enjoyed it. The weather was great, Leoni had a fantastic time as our hotel had a kids club and we had plenty of time to relax. It went too quickly though if you ask me :-)

The summer holidays have started and I will now take a break from blogging for a while. See you all in a few weeks.

Crochet

I came across these lovely crochet flowers on one of the blogs I follow and was fascinated by them. The colours go so well together and every flower looks different and absolutely lovely. I've never crocheted before except the mandatory oven gloves I had to do at school, so I thought I'd give it a try. I ordered some books of Amazon and had a go at different designs:

Nothing compared to those on her blog, I know, and not the most vibrant colours on earth, but I'm still trying...:-)

Mika Trousers

I desperately need to work on some boys clothes for the shop and next craft fairs, and this is the first one finished. The pattern is MIKA from Farbenmix and the fabric Denim Africa. 

Available in the shop here.

Craft fair cancelled

I'm sorry to inform you, but this weekend's craft fair at the Caird Hall in Dundee has been cancelled. I received an email this morning saying due to a few cancellations there aren't enough exhibitors for this show. This is something that happens and I can totally understand the organizer in his decision.
What makes me VERY angry is, that they now have cancelled all planned shows in this venue, because Dundee City Council doesn't permit them anymore to put up their banners and promotional stands outside the hall on the day!! How are people supposed to know about events if no advertising is allowed??? This craft fair was always very well attended and even attracted people from outside Dundee. And it was a great opportunity for small, local businesses (like me) to display their work and sell their products. No wonder that the set-up of new businesses in this area is on the decline. Well done, Dundee City Council!
