Craft Expo
This is where mum and I went yesterday. We both walked in and we were like, “*H)(&%*. This. Is. Heaven.” Only my mum doesn’t swear so her “*H)(&%*” was symbolic of the mind-blowing-ness of walking into heaven.
But seriously. We stood in the front door for way too long, just taking it all in.
This is how the day went: Stop at one stall and star at craft goodies and say “we’ll never get through them all at this rate, we need to just go throught them all the stalls and then come back to the ones we like best”, Stop at the very next stall, buying slightly over-priced craft goods, and say, “wwe’ll never get through them all at this rate, we need to just go throught them all the stalls and then come back to the ones we like best”. REPEAT.
We did get through all the stalls, some we loved more then others. We also did a bag challenge run by Bernina. We had the front flap of the bag and we had to use these scraps and create something on the front. We had to leave the ‘bernina’ logo uncovered. I thought mine was quite clever- incorporating the red bernina logo into the rainbow. Apparently no one else did though. 
These are some of the goodies I picked up too:
And my visual journal got a bit of a workout. I wasn’t copying down things I saw, but you know how it is when you’re around such inspiring places, you see one craft and think “oooh! That would go well with XYZ I wanted to make” or “That technique would be perfect on the Very Hungry Caterpillar quilt I’m making” etc. So yeah, I wrote down ideas and thoughts and brands that I wanted to look into a bit more at a later stage…
