things to do in leeds...when you craft!

Leeds is positively bustling with artistic endeavours at the moment, let me recommend a few things to keep you occupied until the next reetsweet!

Read...Noonton & Cocobean, a fantastic blog by a local leeds lassie and her friend, we follow her through art exhibitions, inspiration and poetry. It sounds pretentious, but it's not, it's beautiful, heartfelt and will make you think!

Visit...Michelle Duxbury, a hugely influential Leeds based writer and crafter, as she hosts a new crafters meet up 'Craftsville club' at Heart - Headingley's new centre for enterprise and community. Bring your craft project with you and meet other enthusiasts into your thing - next meet up is Mon 9th May 2011 from 7-10pm

Buy...At 'Handmade 6' - Brudenell Social Club's brilliant resident craft event featuring the cream of the art school crop....prints, knitting, jewellery - quirky and amazing and hosted by the super cute Amy Mcdonald, one of our much loved crafters from reetsweet! .....That should keep you busy my little friends!
