A few February events...

The lovely Curiosity Haus are hosting a fab Valentine's Contemporary Craft and Design Fair from 12-5pm at The Orange Tree in Nottingham on Sat Feb 12th!


So come on down and check out the extra Craft goodness on offer... 



Also happening on the same day in Nottingham from 11am - 3pm, Knit Nottingham are hosting a great event called 'Heart Art' at the Davenport Shop of Orginality


This is an event to raise money for the British Heart Foundation, by having some Wooly fun and creating a piece of art. Pay just £1 to knit or crochet a square which will then go towards filling a giant heart to then mount on a wooden frame. AMAZING!

But don't worry you can still donate your £1 and square even if you can't make the event - for more info check out the facebook event.

February is looking to be one Crafty month! Woop! x
