Its not my fault....honest!

Its the snow and the lack of sunshine... it made me do it!

I was just looking I didn't even realise I hit "add to basket" and goodness only knows how I got through entering my card details and completed the transaction... I must have been hypnotised!
Amazon needs constant adult supervision.... I need someone with a ruler sitting next to me slapping my knuckles every time I try to place it in that naughty basket!

it is true I have no willpower... hence my size... hence my dreary hairdo.... and the parcels that are due to pop through my door in the next few days!

Would you like to see what I couldn't resist?

you would!

then take a look below!

I would like a spring decorated Easter house this year and this book called to me....

I popped over to Patchwork Pottery and I noticed she has work in some of these books, instead of buying them from Canada I decided to check if they were in amazon...

So I bought 3, my mum always says buy in threes.... mind you I think she actually meant buy three plants and plant them in the garden in threes to make a better display... but I am sure it can be transferred to other daily activities.... always eat 3 cookies.... always have 3 marshmallows in your hot chocolate... etc

Now this book was advertised in my Crochet World Magazine (that I get the newsagent to order for me, it American but I can swap between English and American crochet quite easily) and I loved those slippers that are on the front...

and who doesn't like itty bitty animals...

and I know many of you already have this book but I am hoping that there will be some little (easy) gift ideas in here... I am not an accomplished sewing machine user and I thought if I start now perhaps by the time I start making for Christmas I will be more at home with my machine...

So that's my lot....

I feel better for confessing my naughty spending spree... next I am on the look out for a new sewing box... but that needs to be thrift'd or second hand... I am looking for something that was once loved and used by an accomplished stitcher... and perhaps a little of his or her skills will still be in the box when I get it! lol

Thanks for all the lovely comments on my posts
I do love reading your kind words, I think I have more friends in the rest of the world than I do right here where I live...
thank you, you're all so special to me and I send big hugs to you all

Take care
Alex
