getting ready for the craft show

Over the past little while I’ve been preparing my stock and display ideas for the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair that I’ll be exhibiting at in June. I’ve been ordering in new stock (not necessarily new products, though there are some of them) so that I have a good amount on hand.

I received some new stock of the Mountmellick knitting cotton the other day and was pleased to find that it is now being manufactured in Australia again. It had gone off shore and I felt that the quality of presentation and packaging had dropped. I wouldn’t say that the quality of the knitting cotton itself had dropped, as it didn’t seem to me to work any less successfully. But it is great to know that we are back to nicely shaped balls of knitting cotton, on sensibly shaped cores!

I also plan to have my new Cosmo Seasons fob kits ready for the craft show. I have all the supplies now, and have settled on how the kits will be presented, but I now have to write up the instructions for each kit.

In the midst of all this, I’m still working on my book… Ah, the fun simply never ceases!
