A quick change of plan .....

..... and a long, long sort out!

Tuesday was my last, lazy, extra day off work and I planned to spend it doing very, very little apart from some crafty bits and pieces.  Just before lunch one of my friends from work called to say he had some crafty supplies for me and could he drop them round?  

So he did, and I was rather overwhelmed by the sheer amount of crafty lovliness that he piled up in my hall!  I spent all afternoon sorting out bag after bag after bag .....

There are bags of embroidery thread, bags of cottons reels (from tiny tiny to mega large!), lace, trimmings, material, ribbons, patterens, wool, tapestry wool .... so much to find a home for .... how lucky can one girl be?

how lucky ....

.... am I?

We had a stash swap on MISI .... the lovely Sprinks sent me some fab goodies and I am absolutely thrilled with them! I'm also very impressed that I had the strength of will to take a photo BEFORE I ripped open the pink tissue wrapping paper! (doesn't tissue paper make a parcel that extra bit special?)


So - Sprinks knows me very well indeed. My lovely goods included lots of jewellery findings:


Lots of lovely glass beads (check out that fantastic blue spotty pendant!):

And some great pink, blue and lilac spotty felt:

My fingers are itching to get making ..... I just need to decide where to start!!
