Channel Five spot for Shetland

For a quick look at Shetland, pop over to Channel 5 on demand. Pride of place are the crafts and Wendy Inkster's Burra Bears, a real success story from small beginnings.

Wendy is also part of a collective of textiles folk, Text-Isles, who live up to their name by being active Tweeters and using all things social media. Check out what is going on (a little bird told me that Emma Blain of Aamos Designs is going to be doing craft workshops this summer) on the Text-Isles website and Follow them @TextIsles.

It's gonna be a busy summer!
