Creativ Diversion

October 18th, 2008 by May

I’ve been trying to make sure I try to have some fun whenever I can. I took the chance on Friday during the day to head to the creativFestival for a quick two hours and check out the market floor.

I came home with some goodies. It was a sad showing for needlework. I’m glad I was interested in quilting/fabric as well as knitting. Otherwise, I’d be finished the show in half an hour. I was particularly interested in getting some goodies that I couldn’t get easily and I found Shibui and the Bison lace yarn. Sure I could have ordered them, but it’s more fun to discover them in person. I also really enjoyed looking at all the quilts. I’m happy to have gone on a $5 student ticket. Sure, the show was a little disappointing, but having a little bit of fun was a good spirit renewal.

It’s a small hull, but I’m happy. I also got the Jane Ellison Queensland Collection Book 9, the men’s collection. A nice set of mens wear that I’m hoping something will be made for G :)

I have also found a nice program for block of the month club that I will likely join. I’m not going to renew for “year of lace” next year. I’m just too disappointed at the way the program was run this year.

We also went to dinner out to celebrate our anniversary. I had a good meal, but G’s review is a whole different story.

    Shibui is one of my favorite yarns. And I love the colorway you chose.

    Happy Anniversary, too!

    I went to the creative festival on that friday too. I got the student ticket too =)… But I was so stupid that I parked inside the convention centre, costed my $15.
    I just discovered the fun of quilting and bought some fat quarters as well as some discount books.

    You know what, I have been in that festival a few times and found this year, it’s actually less commercial than before.
