So last year when Mum and I drove to Darwin, we saw this thing called the Beanie Fest advertised and thought it sounded like fun. As we did not have time to get down to Alice Springs and back before I had to start work we decided to come back in 2011.
So the Beanie Fest is what it is. A four day weekend dedicated to Beanies, and Alice Springs in June is cold..... ok no it was FREEZING....... -2 the first morning
And that we did... go that is.
Mum and I both made beanies, I only managed one as mine was very time consuming. Mum entered two. Both very cute BTW.Work shop 1. Weave a Beanie Fest Bag.
This is my bag, not to happy with the outcome.
Mum's bag however, looked good.
Mum working hard, rocking out in her funky hat too. Ben and Joanne did well out of this workshop, they got the bags.
So much other stuff happened this weekend, my beanie sold with in the first 20 minutes of gallery opening. All that hard work and some one fell in love with it just as much as I did. Mum's beanies sold on the Saturday. We did a few other workshops, and ate some great food.
