Terrible Blogger

Well  it's confession time - what am I like such a terrible blogger it has been over a month since my last post oops 

Since I last blogged I have done my first fair of the year , it wasn't a great success sales wise but I met some fab people some of whom I speak to on forums and face book . So a big Clasibag blog HELLO to
Vickie from http://www.beads4breakfast.co.uk/  who makes the most gorgeous lampwork beads and is a mad as a hatter
Caroline from http://www.curiouscatcreative.co.uk/ her leather jewellery is out of this world 
Anita from http://itsamistrydesignstudio.blogspot.com/ who makes such beautiful jewellery
Wendy from http://www.1stuniquegifts.co.uk/blog/ her creations are fabulous and my hubbie bought me a little plaque for my craft room door ( ok it's the 2nd bedroom but I have taken it over with my craft things! )
and the lovely Kate from http://www.turtle-doves.com/ who makes the most wonderful items of clothing from recycled fabric

New bags listed on my website

Phew slowly but surely I am getting some new bags listed on my website. I was in 2 minds about listing them as I am trying to get stock together for my next craft event in March but I decided 'what the eck' get them listed, if they sell it will be an added bonus :-)

So here they are one felted and one knitted

Neglected Blog

Oh dear I have seriously been neglecting this blog, there just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day to do everything I want to. I am madly knitting bags in any spare time I have because as usual with me I book fairs and realise I don't have enough stock - when will I learn ! 

My next fair is http://greatbritishcraftbazaar.com/ on 26th and 27th March so not many more weeks left eek

I do have 4 bags in various states of completion so hopefully by the weekend they will be finished, everyone keep your fingers and toes crossed

Off to do some more knitting TTFN

New bags

Phew finally managed to list a few new bags on my website  www.clasibags.co.uk as it was looking very empty due to the fact that most of my items are on display @ Ramsbottom Library

Here they are in their full glory !

 

  

 

Linings

Well today is all about lining bags, I do have to say it isn't my most favourite part of making my bags but I do love to source the actual material I use for the linings, there is so much amazing fabric out there!

I have recently discovered and fallen in love with the shop http://www.seamstar.co.uk/index.php , I get so tempted by all the gorgeous material that I could spend a fortune if I was not careful! 

Oh well back to the sewing and fingers crossed i should have some new bags up on my website very soon

Strange Places to Knit

It has been my weekend off work but my poor hubbie has been working so I have been out with him to keep him company. To while away the hours sat in his van whilst he does his jobs I take my knitting, I sit listening to the music on my IPhone and knit away. It struck me tho how funny I must look to passers by sat in a van knitting away.

Hubbie is a service engineer and mends microwaves in stores such as Tesco, Weatherspoons etc  so this weekend I have sat in 2 tesco carparks, I multi-story carpark and quite a few KFC carparks with my knitting! Well at least it gets me out of housework lol

Booked my first Fair of the year and exhibiting my bags in Ramsbottom

Well I have booked my first fair of the year - just waiting for confirmation! I will be at http://greatbritishcraftbazaar.com/ on the 26th and 27th March, can't wait as hopefully I shall meet up with people I speak to on forums and facebook which will be nice .

I am also exhibiting my bags in Ramsbottom Library http://www.bury.gov.uk/LeisureAndCulture/Libraries/BranchLibraries/RamsbottomLibraryandAdultLearningCentre.htm from this Friday for a month, they have just had a display cabinet  added to the library and yours truly will be the first one to put something in it - hopefully I will have some sales too. I used to work at Ramsbottom a couple of years ago and still keep in touch with the staff but haven't seen them for a while so it will be nice to catch up when I go with my bags on Friday
