Busy Busy Busy

I have been really busy lately, my hands and sewing needles have been rather busy, I have 2 birthdays coming up,1 on the 26th which is my eldest daughter and she will be 28yrs old and then on the 29th is my other friends birthday and she will be 46 so I am sewing some birth samples for each of them and I hope they will like them, anyway when my needles are not sewing I am reading, at the moment I am reading a book by J.Randy Taraborrellli and its called Michael Jackson, the magic,the madness,the whole story.

It is very riveting and very thick it has 745 pages and its from the beginning of Michael's life to the end, I have read most books on Michael Jackson, but this one is the best I have ever read about him, its one of those books that when your reading it impossible to believe and believe all at the same time, and also how sad/lonely his life really was, there is a great quote at the beginning of the book which sums Michael Jackson to a tee.

Michael Jackson to J.Randy Taraborrelli on September 1995:

Why not just tell people I'm an alien from mars,Tell them I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight, They will believe anything you say because you are a reporter, but if I, Michael Jackson were to say, ' I'm an alien from mars and I eat live chickens and I do a voodoo dance at midnight' people would say, Oh man, that Michael Jackson is nuts. He's cracked up, You can't believe a dame word that comes out of his mouth.....

 Do you think he was right?????

Shopping Spree

I went in town Saturday just to do some shopping (well window shopping really) go to markets, and my favorite charity shops, and here is what I bought, all in charity shops,

this was £1.50 to keep my sewing in and in another charity shop I saw this and had to get it........

A sewing basket and it £2.50

I also bought 2 cross stitch books they cost me £4 for both...

Hubby dragged me out of the charity shops in case I saw something else, so we went to markets and in the indoor market I discovered a knitting shop, It's called Stitch and Knit, it's a small shop and the owner is a lovely lady, and I got talking to her and asked her advice about cross stitching and what would be the easiest project for a beginner and she showed me loads of kits all in differ ant price range's, so I bought one, (hubby should have left me in charity shop lol )

She also has beautiful wool, but I was very self controlled on wool hee hee
