Loving the weekend!!
I am loving that I had a crafty wee weekend!!
When at Mums on Saturday I nabbed her doilies she no longer uses. I was going to make the table runner I attached in my previous blog.
I spent my Saturday evening near the heat pump with a cup of weight watchers hot chocolate sewing doilies together.
I am loving this!!! Not only is it super cute but the doilies were made by either my Mum or my Nana who passed away 25 years ago.
I am LOVING Pinterest!! I am loving spending hours pouring over the pictures and pinning things onto my boards. I also have one follower which is exciting! I would promote my boards on here but do not know how to do that yet. Maybe I will figure it out one day...
I have two words for you... Davids Emporium!! This shop has been in Hamilton since the dawn of time and has opened a new fancy shop at the Super Centre in Manukau, Auckland. I could spend hours and hours and hours in that shop I tell ya!! They have a huge range and all at really reasonable prices.
I got a basket full of goodies which included some fabric at $4 a metre, perfect for lining aprons...
I got some more felt to add to my collection of colours. I love felt...
While on the subject of felt I made some tags to tie onto gifts on Friday night. They have dried lavender in them. I wrap gifts in brown paper, tie a bright ribbon around it and tie one of these cuties to the and it looks great!
I got some very cute fleece ($8 metre), I could not walk out without getting some, even if it was just half a metre to satisfy my urge. Not too sure what I am going to do with it but it is super cute!
I got a selection of ribbons. There were so many to choose from. The majority of these were only 60 cents a metre.
I will most definitely be heading back soon to get some supplies. I have decided I need to buy a set of shelves or draws to store all of my craft goodies. Will be keeping my eyes peeled for something funky.
I am also loving the fact my lunches are sorted for the week. I have just made a batch of pumpkin soup and have bread in the bread maker. Saves me having to waste too much brain power during the week deciding what to take to work for lunch.
I am loving the fact my car passed its WOF without needing a heap of work (and money) spent on it. My car is not an overly old one but after years of having a mini in my teens I always get worried. I would love a new car one day (Holden Captiva being my car of choice at the mo) but unfortunately money does not grow on trees.
Right enough loving for the moment, I am off to get my nightly fix on Pinterest. I will be keeping my eyes peeled for crafts I can rustle up at some stage.
