Boxes of stuff

For ages now I've been accumulating piles of random crafty stuff.

My shelves are piled high with boxes full of wool, knitting needles.

Containers of scrap material, beads, buttons, crochet hooks and glue sticks protrude from under my bed.

Beanies and scarves with names and faces haunt my dreams (...that bit was a lie... but you get the picture).

It started last year with scarves and beanies.... all of which have now been given away to friends and relatives.

Then I moved on to crochet. A mobile phone sock and a green cactus rabbit called Gordon. And a dangly halfalienhalfsquid keyring thing.

I've discovered YouTube and the net in general have a wealth of patterns and instructions to follow. Most of it I've taught myself from dodgy craft blog instructions.

Now it seems to be buttons though. Button earrings, button hair bands, button hair pins and button brooches.

Sez and Anne are both into craft too and have asked me to contribute to a market stall - so I've started steadily building up stack of button jewellery.

I've done a fair bit already. I'd like to do some crochet work to sell too but that's more time consuming. Might have wait until I have more time.

We're going to sell our stuff at the Newtown Square markets.

I been thinking on names for my venture...

I've decided on Bleating Heart Design (think sheep).
