Sizergh Woollen Woods

Sizergh Woollen woods

My parents live close to this national trust property so this week I finally got to visit the Woollen woods at Sizergh Castle.   

There was some absolute stunning items on display, my favourite of all was hidden away slightly, but hung from a branch was this absolute stunning flower.  Felt like it was made from natural cotton and just amazing! Would love to be able to do this myself!

I had originally read the criteria and throughout about entering my own few items, however  decided against it as the way I read the entry criteria it read as through only wool  material would be accepted with life sized and life like animals that would be found in  the woods.  Well things moved on and I then went on to forget about entering etc. Despite regularly crocheting a variety of items.   

However on wandering around the woods this wasn’t the case at all, lots of acrylic had been used and even one display using polystyrene balls and well… therefore just not what I was expecting. However there are some amazing bits there to be seen and well worth a visit……

…. Someone just needs to explain where the flamingo fits in….

Plan… yarn bomb my garden with crochet owls!! More pictures from this visit can be found over on the face book page! 

Introducing Nurse Molly!

Hello everyone! Have you ever sat down and done a spare of a moment crochet item and sat there till it was complete? Well mine is this little lady, Nurse Molly.  Had been meaning to do one for a while and throughout I would quickly make her just before I went on holiday, something to use as part of this blog and continue on all little trips out and about!  

She seems fitting as I’m also a nurse to have a little nurse to take around to include in interesting places for the blog!  And here’s  her first own little adventure

Can anyone guess where we visited?
