Happy Easter 🐣

A very Happy Easter one and all hope you are having a good Easter Sunday! It’s been a good day here starting with taking out Bianca for a run around the common and chance to run like a looney with other dogs 🐶

The beastie at full speed coming back for a treat.🐶🥰

Then the day has been spent with a little cleaning but mainly crafting and watching TV 📺. Now sat as the darkness draws in with a vodka in hand writing this update bliss 🤓 if I stop making sense at any point then it’s the vodka honest 😇😝

So to update on the last post I haven’t managed to do any of the ivy embroidery I’m afraid or the scrapbook project but only so many hours in the day and too many WIP’s 😳😬😢

I have managed to pick up a couple of bargains whilst out and about 😇. To go with the Christmas cross stitch kit I showed you on the last post I managed to pick up another one of the series which I love just as much as the first one I got!🥰…

Just love the Scandinavian feel to the design and although says £35.00 I manage to get this one for £17.50 the same as last one at half price 🎉 I definitely recommend looking out for kits outside of their seasons as can get some great bargains👍

And talking of bargains (well I think they are!) I picked up a couple of recycled rubber tyre baskets to store some of my yarn 🧶 until I get round to crochet or knitting it into something 🤓…

I picked them up for £19.99 each from Home Sense which I think was a great price and perfect for what I wanted.

I also picked up a new pair of scissors as my old pair (20 odd years) have finally got to blunt to cut thread cleanly …

The top pair are the new ones slightly larger but so sharp ✂️👍

Lastly my final purchase to mention is two books from Aldi by Kirstie Allsopp 🥰 got rid of my books when moved onto canal boat to live so enjoying picking things up again now on dry land especially if at discount 😇…

Bit of light reading before The Handmade Festival 🥰🎉🥰

The main craft I have been doing at the moment is the SAL with @hev77 I mentioned we were going to tackle once all our threads etc arrived. So as you can probably guess the threads etc turned up and we started about a week or so ago! Anyway here are the pics of my progress so far in stages …
