Crafty things...

http://www.japaneseembroideryguild.com/index.html   <-- may I just say oooooooh

and yay! my 2 new crochet books have arrived! One has patterns for 200 borders - i was desperate for this as borders are the ultimate professional touch right! and the second book was a stitch bible for crochet :) sooo many choices and they all look so lovely!



This was a shawl I made for my best friend Lynne :) Its made from silk wool which is gorgeous to work with but mega expensive! This kind is usually £12 a skein O_o but i picked up most of it at £3 a skein in the sales as its a discontinued colour.

I love the sales, I get very grabby and greedy and buy way more wool than I will use!
