Hello, and thank you for hosting this week! I might even be able to get my Christmas preparations finished.
I usually craft in the evenings while watching TV, but sometimes in the afternoon during summer when I don't have the fire to deal with and I can work in natural light.
Haven't done any crafting yet, but hoping to continue the arm warmers for my neighbour in a bit. I've had crafty adventures though, which took up the whole morning and into the afternoon.
I cycled down to the craft shop that was closing down, only to find it already closed for good. Went on into town to go to a shop I didn't have time to visit last time, then went home. On a whim I called the craft shop when I got in and the people were there, packing up. They still had some of the card I wanted though, so the lady said I could go down and knock on the door and she'd let me in. So I walked down in the drizzle, bought all the rest of the silver glitter card they had (71 sheets) all the blue (19), 5 black, the last of the red mirror card and copper card. Also bought all the brooch backs they had - got 328 for £10! Plus, a load of beads, 6 rolls of clear adhesive film, and a few silver beads. That phone call was well worth making! I got bargains at knock-down prices.
