Sewing, cards, crochet, cross stitch, and other crafty randomness. An Irish girl on the other side of the world.

I added an orange ribbon to the edging of this but forgot to take a photo! Pants! But I finally managed to post it nonetheless and will update if I can find the photograph of the be-ribboned blnaket!
I bought these babies in Hickey's (4 balls) and Ryan's (1 ball) of Galway. Two of the three wool shops I've been able to find. The third is Lola Rose - a very cute shop but with no acryric yarn. As I don't want my picnic blanket to start to felt and it definitely has to under go the washing machine, its a no go. Unfortunatey all the shops are a tad on the restrictive side for colours. I'm hoping the situation will improve in New Zealand. I'm not going to use the one from Ryan's as the colour is too similar to the light green I bought in Hickey's and I prefer the minter version!
I'm building a up a fair little collection of stuff for my craft room. I couldn't leave this picture frame in the shop and I'm hoping it won't clash (too badly anyway) with whatever green I end up with on the walls. As is ridiculously obvious from the 'picture' part of the frame I bought it in Next on my recent visit to Europe. The colour is even more vibrant and shiny in person. Next is one of the few shops I miss (mainly for jeans). I also miss M&S ... Badly... More than I would care to admit. Underwear especially. Though at this stage there are shops I like in New Zealand and would miss hugely in Ireland. Ireland really doesn't have the same focus on crafts and it was WAY too hard to buy wool when I was there. Just as well I get to visit I suppose!
I've decided to update my look at least in blog terms. Crafty mermaid just doesn't feel 'me' any more. I've set up a new blog and look forward to seeing you there! https://sewmancer.blogspot.com/
