What a fantastic start to the weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look what I picked up from the post office this morning!....

And look what was inside!...................

A wonderful little handmade notecard, a little robot key chain, a little robot pendant AND Mr Roboto himself!!! All the way from Pang. in the USA......He is absolutely gorgeous, far, far better than the piccy shows. Really beautifully crafted-I am one lucky (& very happy!) Swapee!! Please check out Pang's blog here, she has some lovely quirky stuff on her site. Thanks again Pang, hope you will keep in touch. Thanks to Claire too for organising the swap!

Little treasures

Just thought I would share with you the wonderful little treasures I found sitting in the Barnsley Hospice shop on Saturday morning! All three items set me back £2.90, what a bargain & soooo cute too!

Surprise!

What a wonderful surprise I got yesterday when my Fairytale swap goodies arrived from my swap partner the lovely Ali. All the goodies arrived individually wrapped...just like Humbugs!
In my swap parcel there was a lovely little selection of vintage type buttons & bias tape ( I LOVE vintage stuff!) & if that wasn't enough here is what else she sent!...

...A wonderful little cute crotcheted froggy, (my favourite fairytale is the 'Frog Prince') a super little lily pad shaped needlecase made from felt and a really lovely pearl button/ribbon bracelet that I have been wearing today!

Thanks to Ali for my wonderful gifts and to Apryl for arranging such a fantastic swap!

Festival

I am so tired! I have spent the weekend at the Leeds Festival which was VERY muddy however, it did mean I could try out my new leopard print wellies! Had a fantastic time, great music and great friends. What more do you need?!

I particulary enjoyed the sets by Queens of the Stone Age, The Enemy & Rage Against the Machine...& the sun came out!

Tea cosy

I couldn't wait to get started on a design from my 'Sublime Stitching' book! I found a plain tea cosy at 'Dunelm Mill' for £3.99 & chose the heart & dagger transfer to embroider onto it.....Not sure if it needs a word to go inside the banner?.... what do you think?
