Crafty Wednesday..

Wednesday is my day off from school, so I like to spend some of the day working on my crafts.  Today, I had a trip to the Marsh Mill at Thornton.  There are several lovely craft shops there including the fab Grace and Favour Fabric shop, a wonderful haberdashery that also sells lovely handmade items.  They also run The Sewing Sanctuary, where I went for the rag rug workshop.  I only went to get some more hessian backing but came away with some beautiful fat quarters of fabric in various shades of pink that will be perfect for my next rug!

I also went to the wool shop and picked up some great bargains.  I was looking for cotton yarns to use to make motifs for pincushions.  I like to top little pincushion with a crocheted motif and I am trying out some from the book Beyond the Square Crochet Motifs to see which are suitable.  What do you think?
