Short but sweet and lots to snoop - WOYWW

Just a quick blog today - a show and tell. Lots of crafty bargains for you to snoop at!!!!

I received a fab bag of wool from Kemps clearance sale yesterday so I popped it on my table for you to see. Mostly wool to knit cardis, shrugs etc for the tinies in the family. I also bought bargain packs of gorgeous little purl beads and some circular needles. On the window sill you can see a "knit a teddy pack" complete with wool, thread, needles and pattern for £1.99!!!

The rest of the goodies came from our local car boot sale. I am usually hopeless at spotting a bargain but have done well for fab crafty stuff recently.

So - check out ....

A large natural wood picture frame ( for one of my dumfy bird pics)

Two beautiful 54" wedding veils with embroidered/pearl trim - new with tags!!!

Lots and lots of superb canvas, linen and binca for our pictures.

Pretty embroidered hankies and a really lovely hand embroidered butterfly picture.

Beady bracelets which I will break up for beads etc.

Oh and at the front a little dumfling brooch, which I made on fun day Monday, for the blog shop.

If you want to join in with the blog snoop then pop over to Julia's blog and follow Mr Linky.

And last but not least - follow this link or scroll down to my earlier post to see what my nephew and niece have been up to - they are just a few pounds away from raising £1000 for Cancer Research -bless them!

Cancer Research 10 K run

Over a thousand runners began the 10 k run at Delamere Forest in Cheshire to raise funds for Cancer Research on Sunday. Here they are lining up for the start - my 29 year old daughter is one of them. I went along to keep her company on the 100 mile round trip there and back, and to cheer her on along the course ( No, I am not up to running 10 k - I could walk it but I am not built for running!!) I did manage to walk through the woods and cheer her on at the half-way point. She finished in just over an hour and was mighty pleased with herself.

Most of the runners yesterday had messages on their backs saying who they were running to remember or cancer survivors to be thankful for. Today I heard the sad news that a young friend, only 27, has cancer which has already progressed to her liver and lungs. It certainly put our problems in perspective and made us really glad that we made the effort to go yesterday and thus raise a few pounds to help beat this hideous disease.
