National Splurge Weekend 2018

The National Splurge weekend aka the Bendigo show is over for another year! It was a fabulous celebration of fibres, yarns and all things fluffy!!! It was amazing to see so many friends and make new ones ! It was exhausting, super fun, exhilarating, non-stop excitement and amazing ! I was semi incognito, meaning I was wearing jeans and jumpers, not my usual hellbunny dresses with complimentary petticoats. I did wear my fluffy neon green bunny ears so I was not totally invivible…LOL My knee gave me some serious trouble but also a super power: I had to hop (not walk) everywhere , which added to the whole bunny thing. LOL

It was amazing how many people were there to give me a hand! Too many to mention but a special thank you to Fiona my fellow bunny addicted bestie, Erika and Barbara, Chrys and Emma. All helped me unpack and make life a lot easier with my “hopping” affliction and also helped me set up , so it did not take me til midnight to get the displays up and all the fluffy stuff set up ! I cannot thank you enough !

Here are some photos of the display and what was on offer :

I ran out of time to take more photos of the stall (I muissed out on showing you the handspun yarns: angora, bunny wallaby and himalayan marmot yarns) because it was getting a bit late and the organisers wanted to shut the doors ..but it is giving you an idea of what goodies I had on offer. 

I did not have a chance to organize everything yet after the show. I am getting there but I need more time, especially since I am doing the clubs now , which will be shipped out start of next week! Busy Busy busy! I am also going to dye the sexy scientist yarn range which you can still sign up for below. The yarns all sold out at the show but here is your chance to get your sexy hunk …eh..hank , LOL, sent to your home .

Also, there is something special to announce!! The winner of the Bendigo show raffle! 
Everybody who spent over $150 went into a raffle to win a big fluffy prize worth over $150 !! 
So start the drumroll!!!
