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

Kits

I have started a new craft, It's cross stitch, I bought 2 cross stitch kits in 2008 for Christmas along with 2 rug plan kits, for my daughter as a hobby, and as I was in one of those clearing out mood's, I came across them in a box unopened, cross stitch kits were unopened and one of the rug/cushions kit was unopened, and as she has flown the nest so to speak I thought she took them with her, I rang her and asked if she wanted me to post them to her she no that she wouldn't have the time to do them plus she forgot she had them, there's gratitude for ya, well at least I know now what not to get her for presents again....

So looks like I will do them and give my knitting needles and crochet hook a rest for awhile, looking forward in doing them, the cushion/rug I know how to do, I did it years ago with my mum, it was one of those hooks that I fell on, and injured my back an silly accident and I never did one of those rugs since, I was about 12yrs old when it happened, a long time ago.....
