Hello. Have you time for a cuppa and a catch up?
Good, I thought you might have. LOL!
.
Lets start with a bit of retail therapy. A friend and I had a day out together in Guisborough this week. We'd never been to Guisborough before, but we'd had a tip off about a lovely craft shop called Leven Crafts , so we followed it up. Unfortunately I have no photos of the inside of the shop because there was far too much to look at and stroke and oo and aah at, but here's what I bought...

It's not all been spend, spend, spend around here though. I have been busy too.

I've made wonderful man a new cover for the old horse hair seat pad on his work chair..jpg)
I'm trying to make a crochet cover for a coathanger like the ones in Lucy's new craft book..jpg)
And I have this little project to finish but I'll show you more of that when it's completed.

Till next time,
Love Fi x

Hi Fi, I spotted chooks/chickens in your post, lovely fabrics and the lace and ribbon are just gorgeous.
Like the crochet coathanger cover, must check out Lucy's craft book.
You have been busy as usual,can't wait to see what the mystery project is.
Hope you are having a blue sky and sunshine sort of week.
Really pretty fabrics! Do you have a project in mind?
Lovely fabrics and ribbons sounds like a shop I'd like to visit too! Had to smile at the ad for HP sauce in your first pic as it is a staple in our house and is taken with pretty much everything by my husband!
Lovely fabrics.
Wow Fi I really love the fabrics and you really have been busy. Loving your projects. Keep up the good work.

Hi Fi,
What a lovely shop to find, and in the place i was born! I haven`t been to Guisborough for ages. But my mother-in-law lives in a village nearby called Great Ayton. So next time we are up there i`ll make that shop my first port of call. Love the coathanger cover.
Love Carole from Rossendale xxxxx

I'm sitting down with a cuppa after being very industrious on the cleaning front, ooo my halo nearly slipped off then. lovely fabric!!

Glad you're ok, I've missed your posts. The fabrics are lovely. I like the crochet coat hanger idea, too, I'll have to have a look.
Such gorgeous fabrics - bet you can't wait to use them!

What wondeful goodies! I especially love the ribbon and lace, I like unusual coloured lace trims. Is that a yellowy mustard colour? or is the light decieving me.

Lots of lovely goodies you have there. I would gladly have the fabrics and those gorgeous ribbons.

Lovely fabrics. Sounds like a great shop to visit - I am too far away now unfortunately. Have agreat week.
Thanks for the invite! ..... I would love to stop by for a cuppa and a chat and browse your lovely fabrics!
Perhaps I will have to wait a while for the cuppa ....
but I do enjoy my 20 Minutes and think of you often :0)
Blessings! Val
Hello, got here via Crete (&Jude)and am so pleased I did. I was fascinated to read about the 20 min craft spot and thought I would find out more. I think it is a fab idea and whilst I might be a bit late in the year I am about to start my 40th year and this would be the ideal thing to promise to do. So inspiring. Have had a jolly peruse through your blog and love it! I can't crochet but can sew my knitting is a bit basic but I get there eventually. Off to read the other blog and have a look at fliker before lunch.....

The very best kind of therapy! Beautiful stuff.
