So another year begins, I'm not bothering with any resolutions , i never keep them. I do have a few aims for the year though (aims, not resolutions..) I would like to learn to drive, to be a bit more tidy and for my business to grow! New Year in Shetland is always a bit.. crap. As…

So Wool Week fever has died down.. a peerie bit.. but now i am getting ready for my first Craft Fair!! The Clickimin Craft Fair has been going on for years and years, my Dad (a local cartoonist) has had a stall at it pretty much every year since it opened and will be there…
