You would have thunk that Spotlight would have it (or would you, they never seem to re-order anything!!) But no, I tried every $2 shop, and every haby type shop in Lismore. I think I became quite deranged. I began accosting people I knew without any pre-emptive "Hello, how are you" etc., and blurting out, (I may have screamed manically) "Have you got any turquoise felt!!" Did I shake them by the shoulders? I have no idea, everything is a blank.
Lismore was a bust, so I drove to Casino. Ditto. I was a bit disheartened, although I did purchase a few little bits and pieces to buck me up.
Driving back home I remembered a little fabric shop on the highway. Eureka! Tucked up the back were four pieces of turquoise felt. I grabbed them up like a mad woman, taking them to the counter and began uttering gibberish to the older (bloke) serving me. I told him of my adventures trying to find the felt. He didn't care at all! Just took my money and looked at me as if I was crazy! The indignity of it all! Doesn't he realise how important turquoise felt is to me?!?
Anyhoo, I have just finished the letters required and will finish the banners tonight. What a relief.

You intrepid crafter you! That poor deluded man, he obviously has no idea.
ReplyDeleteGlad it all worked out in the end, and hey, those cases were worth it! x
Blame the cases - they were obviously calling to you (attempting turquoise felt distraction). Since you have the felt and can breathe easy, they were kinda worth it!
ReplyDeleteWow, Creative Space is right! I popped over from Kirsty's blog and I'm so glad I did. Everything looks terrific over here. I'll look forward to many visits. x
ReplyDeleteisn't that always the way ... you need something absolutely specific and it's impossible to find it. but at least you seem to have a nice time looking. the banner looks lovely.
