Harrogate - Post 2

I found this lovely little book late in the day. After thinking about it whilst exploring the rest of the hall, I went back to purchase it only to  find it was the last copy with no more due to be delivered until next February. Phew - would have been upset to miss out.
I fell in love with the penguin on the front - think it is the jumper that sells it. There are nativity characters and a herd of reindeer to make plus a turkey! There is something really quirky about the turkey and I feel the urge to knit one but not really sure why and what I will do with it. Meanwhile all these cute knits will have to wait until I have finished some other projects.

New Toys

Many months ago a dear friend gave me a gift voucher for my birthday to spend at Hobbycraft and since then I have been eyeing up various items for some time. Occasionally they appeared on offer, but never all at the same time - until recently.

So a few weeks ago I went and purchased all the above goodies plus a guillotine paper cutter for my card making.

The above includes a felting kit which I must say looks really good value. I expected purple fleece but there is purple, two shades of pink, green and cream so it looks as if might be able to make more than one.

The fat quarter is to make something from the Patchwork Bags book but \I am not sure there is enough to make any complete bag just so I may have to buy more fabric in a main colour. Well what else is a girl supposed to do???

Hmm I really ought to think about completing something to post on here - it must be about time. Talking of time, as Zebedee said - It's time for bed!

Hmm still not finished anything

I suppose this picture is a bit of a giveaway - I haven't finished anything ...... for ages! I have made progress with the fox cub and the bag but perhaps not enough to post. I did intend finishing the slippers this weekend but I cannot find the book with the instructions to make them up - well it will be in the corner by the sofa!
Today I have been tidying the craft den - and discovered stuff I don't remember buying and also a substantial number of unopened packs of card - oh dear. None of them colours that I could do with at the moment.
Today's picture is of 3 beautiful books that I am desperate to make things from - two are knitting/crotchet books (I can't crotchet except for miles of chain) and the other is a mixture of various crafts. Two were bought from a lovely needlework shop and the other was a gift from a friend.
Ok that's enough for today and time to go and watch Lulu on the Commonwealth Games Closing Ceremony and try and do something so I have progress to photograph next week!
