Playing the Uke to a baby cousin. :: Videos & Music

A new video is up on my youtube channel (which is kimsmithhappy). It would be awesome if you could like/comment and subscribe as it all helps!

Since going to Summer In The City 2014 as a stallholder, I've been super dooper inspired to make more videos. It can be such a brilliant community, and a great way to share content. I did take video/vlog about the entire convention, which I'm slowing uploading as I get round to editing (take a peek at the first day here), but in the meantime...

Here's a cute video of my cousin Will and his nearly-1-year-old son Sam listening to me playing some Uke. Will is a pretty awesome graphic designer and I'm sure you'll be hearing more about him as we team up on fun projects (we live close now!). P.S. Do you notice that smashingly orange jumper, the little babe is wearing? I made it! hehe. You might recognise it, actually, from instagram.

p.s. LOOK at that cute face!

Yarn Shop Day- SHOP TOUR :: Shoptalk.

For those of you that made it to the shop on Yarn Shop Day, thank you! It was mostly locals that had seen the sign and the shop windows and wanted to know a bit more about what we were about. Which is exactly what I was hoping would happen. I opened the doors on May 3rd to say HI to the locals. We had cups of tea and a free project to work on. You can see even my Dad got involved!
It was really wonderful to meet people and talk about the kind of fibre arts we love. :] Below is a little 'shop tour' so you all can see what it was like on the day. Enjoy! (Don't Amy's cowls look so great! It's wonderful to have them in the shop!) Probably my favourite little aspect of the shop, is the little cut-out where I can serve customers from. It was great to 'ring people up' from behind the counter. It felt like the big sister of doing markets. I can't wait till Autumn when we'll be open on the weekends. :] Here's a few photos of me outside the shop before we opened in the morning (Please excuse my sleepy, but happy, face). Mum organised some bright and cheerful planters. :] So nice.

Thanks for sharing in this adventure with me! Please know that the shop is still a work-in-progress but any comments/thoughts are always greatly appreciated. Basicaly I wish you could all come and have a cuppa tea with me!
