Time To Reach For The Cowboy Hat Again...

Welcome to a merry Hump of the Week.
Sometimes my hoarding pays off.
Two years I bought and made two cowboys outfits for Sports Relief.
It's come around again
So one son will be dressed up as 
 More craft supplies arrived...
 Then my nice coffee arrived...↓↓
Finished making two wreaths...
I own up to the fact,
I am not very good at making omelettes
The first two looked alright
At least my kids ate them.
The next two......
( I was losing the will....)
I had to hide the shame by Spinach
I will remember not to attempt  to make any more....
Hopefully my felt balls arrive tomorrow...

You Can Never Know When You Need It!

Welcome to the *Monday Feeling*
Everyone had a big 💋  before they left.
I looked out of the window..
 The white stuff still there!
I had to sort out my craft crap.
Four huge boxes.....
What was I going to find in there???
I found loads of ribbons...
 plus loads of loose ribbon.....
I found tonnes of....
 I even found some Italian wool I bought from the Hobbycraft show at the NEC in 2012.
A friend who I went with asked in 2013, if I still had the wool?
I replied "Yes".
"You should sell it if you are not using it!"
I tapped my nose, and said:
"You never know when you will need it!"
(Only a True Hoarder would say that ;))
To solve the problem with having all this lovely felt, 
I bought a book off Amazon....
 Looking forward to making things....
Time for chop chop...
Used up all the Quail eggs we bought Saturday...
Nice healthy stir fry to go with it.
I had a massive reading catch up with the newspapers from the weekend ....
With a little help from..
Back to playing with Kenny tomorrow!
