SUCCESS !

I've done it ! I've finally found a stitchy bargain in a charity shop.

Yes , my life is that sad that I can get excited about something like this lol. I decided to go on a little trip yesterday once the elves were at school and nursery , in desperate need of a break , and found this Winnie chart book in the local Oxfam for 79p . A real bargain. They also had a kit, but it wasn't my kind of thing , and a couple of books , but nothing else appealed.

Then , I found this lovely chart in the bargain box at the haberdashery shop I check out every so often .

Only £1.50 , and I can't wait to stitch it , but need to get a speciality thread first.

They also gave me this

but I won't use it , so if anyone would like it , please shout and let me know.

Here's a pic of my latest finish,

from this issue of Cross Stitcher , I've just added the flower sequin to give it a bit extra , and changed the face a bit. My stitchy bug is not really playing fair at the moment. I want to do stuff ,but can't be bothered lol.

On Saturday , my Daughter suddenly asked me when "Thank you Day" was , after I explained that we don't have one , she decided that we would have one then , and said "Thank you Mummy and Daddy , for looking after me".So we made a cake for Thank you Day

I made these with my Son , as I can't cope with them both in the kitchen at the same time .
