Today I went to the National Exhibition Centre primarily to check out the art materials. Very disappointed. The stands were all very similar but I did manage to buy some new brushes to replace the ones I have ruined (I'm tough on the poor things). Then I went through to the sewing and craft section - loads of stalls dedicated to stamping and card making but not one sold pipe cleaners. Don't ask. I saw that the best bead shop in the UK (in my humble opinion) Spellbound from Lichfield was there - a great place to visit with really knowledgeable friendly staff.
Another stall which drew my attention was Worn and Washed Fabrics. As a keen recycler I love the idea of using used fabrics to make quilts and these are so lovely and soft with a real homely look.
Having become involved with Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday I have seen other desks full of paper crafting things which are new to me - well now I have seen a lot of the stuff folk use and watched a few of the workshops so I will have a better grasp of what folk are talking about.
