A Happy Trip To Worcester

So, 
Sunday morning at precisely 4.30 am was meant to be the big day for putting up my PomPom Bomb. This did not go at all as i had hoped. 

Team Guerrilla Crafter and i headed out to our secret location only to be straight away be met by a security guard. 

Oh Dam Dam and double Dam.

So unfortunately my plan has had to go back to the drawing board for a while, while i prepare for a meeting with a lovely lady in the lovely market town of Shifnal about putting some work in her gallery and maybe running some workshops. 
(more to be revealed soon)

So with a heavy heart about my lack of Guerrilla Pom Bombs i awoke early yesterday morning with an urge to be by the river. 

So i put together a picnic lunch for the dear for Mr S and I, and a bag full of Guerrilla Crafting goodies for myself and off to Worcester we headed.

After a walk around the city we headed to the river to have our picnic.


This is the beautiful view of Malvern Hills from our place by the river.
Whenever i see them their greatness amazes me.

Before long out tummies were satisfied and i strolled back into the city to resume my Guerrilla Crafting ways.

Everywhere i went i left a Guerrilla Crafter trail behind me.


 Cathedral Gardens

Road Street


On the corner of Church Street


Hop Market

I do hope that the lovely people of Worcester found these intriguing and took one to look up when they get home. I walked passed the one on Church Street later that day and all but one had gone.

My final mission was to head to the beautiful grade 1 listed Guild Hall. 

And here is what i had to say.





So after a hard days pondering, wondering and Guerrilla Crafting i made my way to the beautiful Second Hand Rose to check out their vintage delights.


I was most certainly not disappointed. I was met with a beautiful handmade vintage lace display all around the walls of the shop.
Now, if you didn't already know handmade lace is a huge passion of mine, I have been collecting handmade vintage lace doilies from thrift stores for some time now. 
So as you can imagine, this really excited me.





With the day drawing to a close and full of Lacey display inspiration, i headed back to my Little Victoria to start cooking up some Lacey plans.

Planning for a POMPOM BOMB! PART 2

Hello all,
 well the day for my plan unveiling is almost upon us, but before the big day comes there are just a few more planning images i would like to share.

The last few days i have been sewing my little fingers to the bone. 
Nina has been working so hard that when i took the bobbin out to re-thread, it was to hot to touch!

My efforts for the last few days have been threading garlands and making signs of crafting encouragement and a messages of sustainability for the big event.


I have started to become quite nervous about the whole thing over the last few days. 
What if it does not make enough of an impression?
What if there are not enough pom poms?
What if people just do not get it?

But never the less i have crafted on, and these wise words came to mind

(Which can be found here)

So with this in mind i did what i had to and, carried on.




So there are some snippets of what to expect when the big day comes.

Planning for a POMPOM BOMB!!!!

Hello all, 
Sorry for the lack of posting over the last week but I come with  exciting news. 
The reason i have been so quite recently, apart from all of my sewing marathons, is i have been planning my largest yet piece of Guerrilla Crafting.

I cannot yet reveal too much, but i can reveal some of my planning efforts.


This is going to be Guerrilla Crafting on a much larger scale than i am used to. 


There will be pompom garlands, bunting, signs, poster and much more. 


My major fear is that all these efforts will only be on display for less than a day before the powers that be take it all down. 
BOOOOOOOOOOO!
But only time will tell.

footnote: I am really excited. Watch this space!
