Andy took me out shopping, at first we were just going to the garden centre, but we had to nip into town.

He bought me some sandals, wool, a shopping bag that fold out from a little pouch with my name on.

I love the charm bracelets that are all the rage, but refuse to pay those sort of prices, so I went to Craft Central and got the bits to make my own.

He also bought me some plants fot the garden and a four tier mini green house.

I have had a lovely day so far!
Thank you for all the lovely messages and cards I have received!!

Hexie madness

Here are the hexies from the fabric from Barbara
 Aren't they just fab!

And the ones from Julie,
 Julie in case you notice there is one fabric missing, I haven't decided which bits of the fabric I want in the hexagon, cause the boxes are quite a bit bigger, but they will be effective, when I do!

Here is a close up of the puddy cats

Thank you again ladies, I do have enough to do some extra ones!

I haven't put centres in yet, as I want them to be all the same and I haven't found what I want to use yet!

I really need to stitch!

But I want a new start, maybe a small start won't matter that I have lots of others to do.
Would help if I was to put down the wool and hook, I am really pleased with my progress on my Granny Square blanket, I can't believe how quickly it grows.
I have 22 squares now, but wanted to show this photo first.

I have more fabric for my hexie quilt from Wendy(no blog)

Had to share this photo of Lily!!

A Finish and a Start

Well I cannot take the credit for this as I really struggled to stitch on this,it really killed my stitchy bug. So a lovely friend of mine Tammy, took it on for me.
On she finished it on Friday isn't she a darling.

 So you can see how much she actually did, here is a photo of how it looked when she took it with her.
