Been a while since I've bothered to write, but haven't really done anything spectacular.
I bought the above craftwood heart from the sale table at craft and painted it white. I chopped off the bottom stand and then macramed a hanger for it. It now hangs outside with my wooden birdcage and sways in the breeze.
I've been making slow progress on the neutrals blanket and have completed 102 squares so far. Its my take in the car project and gets worked on every now and then.
Today was op shopping day. In total we went to 17 shops.. a record for us. That being said I really didn't find that much that I wanted to buy.
Cotton reels at 20 cents each.. a bargain
Tapestry wool skeins 3 for $1. I bought these to make a granny hot water bottle something like
A cheap pottery bowl
Some milkware for my sister
and another leg egg cup to ass to my collection. This one is missing some paint but I bought him all the same
And yet another jar to put my jam into (I dropped the other one I bought the first day I used it...BooHoo)
So thats it ...pretty boring really but a fun day shopping all the same
Hello! I received your package yesterday and my oh my I love the handmade zipper bag and the contents inside. You are so thoughtful :) I know that this will be a project bag for me for my lace weight wonders on the needles. Glad to see you back to blogging. We are approaching fall so I guess you are approaching spring??

(I don't know what has come over me for being so sentimental, perhaps it is the weather: just returned home from a really nice (warm) holiday in France and now back at home in Belgium, it should still be summer over here and yet we are having an autumn weather... : ( )
Ohh the milk glass. It's so pretty.
