Craft Show

I've bought myself a ticket for the craft show at Aintree this coming weekend.  I have a list of some stash I'd like to get but as this show doesn't always have all the big suppliers I may end up getting some online.  It's a nice show but it certainly isn't the NEC show with it's masses of goodies to grab!


I was asked to make some earrings this week for a lady who has been trying to match up with a ring she bought.  They were pretty simple what she asked for, so simple I forgot to take a photo! D'oh.  Ah well.  They were basically some brown glass beads of various sizes on a single drop.  Nothing too spectacular.


I've taken a trip to Ikea to get some more shelving units and jars for my stash.  I'm planning on organising my paper so that it is easier to find what I want.  Probably sort it by colour rather than theme I think but as I don't really have a huge amount it shouldn't be too difficult.  I've been trolling YouTube watching craft room tours for inspiration on my organising/storage and am flabbergasted at the amount of stash some people have.  There must be a good $50K's worth of goodies in those rooms.  It certainly makes me wonder how they can afford it in this recession (although maybe they've had a lot of it for a while now?!).  Still I get the impression that a lot of craft goodies are very much cheaper than in the UK, including the Ikea prices too.  $50 for a set of drawers that cost £80+ here!!  Piissshhhhh bloody ridiculous.
Anyhoo once I've got my space reorganised I shall post some pics or perhaps even a video (ooooh my first one... well we'll see how it goes first!).  I do have a video of my dog playing in the park which I shall post to YT soon and will link it up here too.
Alrighty, hope you're well.
Hugs
