Advice From Elizabeth

Never fall out of your top bunk, it hurts!


Apparently I had to blog about it tonight!

If it hadn't have hurt her so much it would have been very funny!

And my bag has arrived in America, Adel seems pleased with it, which is always good. When I made the bag it seemed really big but then I thought with a very little boy to take everywhere you go big is not always a bad thing. I knitted her some purple mohair beads and made a bracelet and necklace for her too but don't have any photos. The brief was "I love chocolate tones as a whole and purple is amazing" think I may have hit the nail on the head!

Fabulous!

I have had a wonderful day today. I have been out with my dear friend Gil, we went to a nearby town to check out a fabric shop that had been recommended by a woman in B&Q (of all places). We were not disappointed. I bought these beautiful bright cottons (more smocking planned) there is a metre of each on the left and 3 metres of the one on the right;


I found this amazing fabric for a boy project I have planned;



And this;


I got a whole bag of goodies for only £17!! And I was very pleased because I saw several fabrics that I have had from SAMS (in my £5 basket) that are priced between £18.99 and £22 a metre!!

I also recieved a parcel in the post today from the wonderful Emma;


This is a terrible picture of the bag (am sure Emma will have taken some better ones). It is absolutely beautiful. It is purple and it has buttons so is perfect for little old me!
There were fabulous specially picked goodies inside too.

This little felt purse;



Some beautiful ribbons and papers and a little trinket box full of sparkles;



Thank you so much Emma, I hope your swap arrives soon and makes you as happy as you have made me!

There were also lots of charity shop finds but I'll share them with you tomorrow.

The may fayre is tomorrow from 3.30 til 5.30 at Ightenhill Primary School, Alder Street, Burnley if anyone is near and fancies coming and saying hi?

Do hope I have enough stock!!
