Hi, It has been a hot couple of days here in northern Tasmania. Melting hot. Things are slowing down for the end of the year but also getting more busy with Christmas preparations and other fun stuff. I didn't let the heat stop me from recording when I had the opportunity today. I always enjoy sharing my knitting, dyeing and other crafting with you so it was totally worth it!  Things are a bit busy around here so there will not be links this time around. Please have a look in Ravelry for info about my projects and feel free to send me a message if you have any questions. Thank you, Hanna (RosehipChick on Ravelry and Instagram)

I have been cleaning and organising and baking like crazy so when I sat down for a well deserved rest I thought I could invite you to join me. So Episode 24 is here early. :-) Do you have a dyeing disaster to share with us? I have one that I share with you in this episode. Links to a couple of the things I talk about can be found below.

A talk a little bit about the experience of starting a shop on Etsy towards the end of the episode. A lot of my crafting time in the last couple of weeks has been spent on setting up my brand new Etsy shop. RoseHipIsland. Today I put my first listings up. It took a little while to get there....

Hi, Thank you for stopping by! It is a beautiful weekend here in Tasmania and we are enjoying time off and being outside.
