We go go on about the Red Velvet Art blog, but it’s so inspirational! Their most recent post by Holly featured some super cute crochet goodies for Halloween. Check it out by clicking the image.
And wasn’t Leanne’s post about the bedroom AMAZING? I think I might have to let her loose on my house with a budget of £20 and see what havoc she can wreak!

For my first entry I wanted to share with you how I spent my day last Friday. On a budget of £30, I was challenged to decorate a three year old’s bedroom. Here, with £12 change is what I created!
God bless my hoarding skills, charity shops and the wonderous church shop of Albany road. It was a great day, that ended with a lovely take-away and a bottle of wine

Craft show season is getting close, and that means all of you green crafty biz owners are probably working overtime to get merch ready for the upcoming fall shows! Any sort of repetitive action is tough on your body, and crafting is no different. Rather than pop an over the counter pain medication, why not take some time to relax and stretch the soreness away with some yoga poses targeted at the places that take the most abuse?
This week we’re taking a look at the aches and pains that come with hours of knitting or crochet. From what you guys had to say on Twitter, it sounds like all that yarn work hits ravelers hardest in the wrists, fingers, neck and chest. Never fear! Here are some poses to help you recoop a little bit.
Expo - huge
Lush patches -nearly spent all cash here
