Ideas and plans for 2016...

  I have lots of plans and ideas for Hunny Crafts Primitives in 2016.
 
To begin with...
 
 I just want to remind everyone of my 50% off sale in my Etsy shop, which is running until the end of January. I will be adding more items to the sale over the next couple of weeks.
 
Now for my ideas and plans...
 
I am planning to hold 2 or maybe 3 Open Houses at my home this year and if they are successful I will make them an annual event.  At my Open Houses I will not only have my items for sale I plan to invite guest crafters to display their wares also.
 
I will still be organising the Craft Fayres at work.
 
I am also planning on holding classes and workshops in sewing and cross stitch to begin with both at my home and where I work and I will expand on the class and workshop subjects as the year goes on.
 
I have been gathering ideas for cross stitch and needle punch designs from literature and my photographs. I will share these with you in due course.
 
Works in progress...
 
I have picked up my knitting needles again, I have two works in progress, a blanket and a pretty vintage sweater from my 'Knit Vintage' book, the pattern dates from the 1950's.

The wool I am using is 4 ply mohair which is not the same as the book but I think it will have the same look.
