My favourite is the blue (lower left), but they are all lovely and splendid to touch. The card says these are 'hand dyed felted wool pieces and North Ronaldsay rovings' that are suitable for 'any number of imaginative wool work and creativity projects'. I think they would be wonderful framed.<br /><br />Contact: Pam Murray Fibre &amp; Yarns, Button, Stenness, Orkney KW16 3HA Scotland.

That's nice, but it's not my thing. I'll tell you about what I like, what I stumble across, what I see on the street--and, if possible, where to get it. I'll tell you about anything and everything because nobody's paying me to do it. (I wish they were!) Most of all, I promise to do my very best to make it interesting and fun!<br /> <div style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;" class="zemanta-pixie"><a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://reblog.zemanta.com/zemified/4bafc1df-13ec-4fbb-b3b2-26cb181e49c8/" title="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]"><img style="border: medium none ; float: right;" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=4bafc1df-13ec-4fbb-b3b2-26cb181e49c8" alt="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]" /></a><span class="zem-script more-related pretty-attribution"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.zemanta.com/readside/loader.js" defer="defer"></script></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6066285687357992488-1950057474597895259?l=ditsychick6.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ditsychick6noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066285687357992488.post-74665316857115941792009-06-15T19:09:00.002+01:002009-06-15T19:21:21.241+01:00Don't miss the <a href="http://www.monsoon.co.uk/invt/48470327&amp;bklist=icat,5,shop,accessorize,accessorizejewellery,accessorizebangles">Peacock Graffiti Bangle</a> from Accessorize, a great buy at £6 in sweet summer colours.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6066285687357992488-7466531685711594179?l=ditsychick6.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ditsychick6noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066285687357992488.post-80619391615380168982009-06-15T18:56:00.003+01:002009-06-15T19:23:09.048+01:00I really like these Caliopa shoes from <a href="http://www.modainpelle.com/details/000238.aspx">Moda in Pelle</a>--classic, but just a little on the funky side, especially in pink.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6066285687357992488-8061939161538016898?l=ditsychick6.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ditsychick6noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066285687357992488.post-10265965742680099442009-06-15T18:52:00.002+01:002009-06-15T18:56:07.043+01:00Don't have your haggis whistle yet?
