A day out at Cardiff

A few weeks ago i told you that i had won some tickets to Cardiff to the craft show so i decided to go on thursday morning and Leon said he would come with me so on thursday morning at 6.30am we both got out of bed to make our way to the railway station in the car to be on the train to cardiff at just after 8am. The journey took and our and a half but we had fun playing hangman and chatting on the way up it was dry but very very cold.

We finally found the place at 10am after getting a little lost!!! but we were finally inside in the warm we had a look around and then founs a place where you could have a go at making your own paper for 70p so we both had a go and i have to say even though it was a wet and messy experience we both had a lot of fun and here you can see the results!!!





There was also a place where you could learn how to knit i already know how to but Leon insisted he wanted to try so i decided to leave him there and go take a little look around for myself!!!


Here is what we found to buy i did have one or two good bargins but in whole i was a little disapointed with the whole experience there where very few stitchy shops and a lot of them where very expensive i was hoping to get some mill hill beads and some krenick but there wasnt any there at all i think if i ever decided to go agan i would save and go to birmongham as the one year i did go there even though it was a 10hour round trip there was so much more to choose from and i really did enjoy it so even tough Leon and i had a day out and a little roam around cardiff hwere i did find a fantastic beads/charms shop i am a little disappointed with the show .

  2. Sounds like you had a good time. I made paper when I was in high school. It is messy but really fun!
