Set up in the market. Forgot the camper van cushions, they are lurking by the front door!
Bottom photo is how I brought all the gear here!

Set up, as much as I can. I left the camper van cushions by the front door, by mistake. Not going back now, sorry.
Bottom photo, how I got this all here!
BTW cash only today will see about card payments when/if I do another one.

I will be in the market tomorrow with some of my Christmas/winter window decorations etc.
Reindeer, snowmen, Carol singing mice, shawls, scarves, hats etc.
Please note these are decorations NOT toys

That's it folks.
The shop is officially
WOOLLEY BAABAA
and belongs to Claire, Robin and Lewis' now.
And I must not forget Peanut, their dachshund.
Thank you gor everything.
Please support them as you did me.
PS I'll be having a market stall to dispose of the window props soon, Reindeer, Christmas trees, elves, mice. Hats from Kirsten, and some of my own etc. See you there!

20/11/2025

Saturday 29th November will be my last day running the shop.
From 1st December Claire, Robin and Lewis will take over, and rename the premises 'Woolley Baa Baa'.
From Monday 1st to Friday 5th the shop will be closed so they can see exactly what is there and rearrange things to suit themselves. They aim to open to the public on Saturday 6th.
Please support them, as you have me. I will still be around, as I live locally, and I will use them for my crafting requirements.

My last ever window change, (barring the unthinkable). So no me-makes at all.

Rumours are rife regarding the sale of Crafty Needles. Seems like a classic case of if you don't know then make something up! If you do want to know, why not ask me.
Anyway, please see the new owners poster ...

08/11/2025

Word is getting out that the shop is changing hands. If all goes to plan new owners should be in from 1st December.
If there are any Crafty Needles vouchers still out there please redeem them before that date as they will be invalid afterwards.
An exciting new chapter for the shop is in sight.

Sorry folks
I am feeling really rough today, although better than yesterday, so I will be only open this morning
Closing 1pm
PS. It is only a headcold, nothing absolutely life threatening but enough to drain my energy and make me feel rubbish!
