Hello again!
Just popping back in again to show you some crafty birthday goodies from my birthday last week.
My lovely sister bought some things from my crafty “wish list” which will come in very handy indeed. I’ve been drooling over these for years!!
Some Bali Pops in the Brown Sugar colourway. There’s lots of lovely teals and bronzes in this pack. I have so many ideas as to what I want to make with these, it’s making my head hurt.
She also bought sock wool, two balls of this one by Regia. It’s got lots of mossy greens and yellows and is incredibly soft and fine. Yummy!
I’ve already got the other ball on the needles 😉 I’m knitting this free pattern from Ravelry which I tried and enjoyed last year. You can see my first pair here if you are interested.
Also, Claire from Claire93 sent me a parcel full of individually wrapped prezzies. Isn’t this the cutest biscornu you ever did see? It’s TINY! A lot of work has gone into this!
She also made a card….perfect 🙂 I love blackwork and the threads and design are beautiful.
Next up, some crafty supplies to add to my stash. Claire also included a leaflet with some cross stitch charts that are a perfect size for these keyrings.
At some point I mentioned to her that I don’t have zips. I do now 🙂
Purple fabric….I love these marbly prints.
Last but not least, a thread organiser.
These are made by a French lady who has a lovely blog here.
My OH has also provided the yarn for my next crocheted blanket. He knows I love colour and he also knows what I hope to do with it…..and he approves! You’ll have to wait and see what I come up with 😀
So, a HUGE thank you each to my sister, my friend Claire and my OH who puts up with all of my crafting mess around the house…. or is he just keeping me busy….. or quiet…… or both 😆
I don’t think I’ll need to be going to the crafty shops for a while!
Aren’t birthdays fun? I’ve been thoroughly spoiled!
Happy crafting everyone 🙂
