WOYWW

Good morning all - I don't know where the last week went!

Its been a week of anniversaries and birthdays.

This week my daughter M is celebrating hers so we even fitted in a bit more retail therapy on Saturday.

 I am a hopeless shopper - I get bored after the first hour but I was very patient and we came away with a bargain silk frock that she really loved. It just needed a press stud stitching back on!!

 My table is still pretty tidy - mostly because I have only tackled one sewing job all week.

Just a carboot pattern and fabric for a few little sundresses.

My evenings have been spent knitting little beanie hats and jumpers for the "Fish and Chip" babies.

I think they look cute don't you. If I had a dolly I would model one on it. Its hard to see how they work from a photo. It's a simple pattern and perfect to slip over a tiny babe so that it has something better than newspaper to wear when it leaves hospital.

Practical colours, as they probably don't get washed often like our lovely baby pastels do.

I am using up my leftover wools so there will be lots of multi-coloured stripes. I have a bagful of bits left over from knitting for Annie's five little ones. Waste not want not!!!

UPDATE: I buy all my wool from  KEMPS WOOLS - http://www.kempswoolshop.com/

They have some amazing bargains and I have picked up a few odd balls of fab wool for the beanies and jumpers. BUT I have to say a BIG thank you to Linda and Lyn who went home and found me a carrier bagful of odds and ends from their own supplies when they knew what I was doing for the "Fish and Chip" babies. Crafters are such a generous bunch aren't they. Thanks girls.

So, if you are looking for bargain wools - I can recommend KEMPS - great prices and a fast service.

Thanks to all who visited here last week and left lovely comments. I will try hard to get round as many as possible before next Wednesday. Join in if you feel like revealing your workspace to the world... pop over to Julia's Stamping Ground and see what we have all been up to.
