Hello blog readers! I've not been up to a lot of crafting this week, so far(!). My parents came to visit yesterday and we had a visit to the National Motorcycle Museum to keep my Dad out of trouble! ;) and went for a nice pub tea to celebrate my impending birthday (thanks mum!) and a couple of games of scrabble when we got back! Today we sat and watched last nights apprentice while I sorted out my bag of felt scraps into colours....the weather here is rubbish so I need things to keep me out of trouble! HEHE!

These are prize WIPs ready for my birthday giveaway! Come back Sunday (1st June) for a chance to win something silly made by me! I'll pick a winner on the 7th (my birthday!).

AND! Our very nosey postman (he said 'I've never delivered knitting needles before!') knocked on the door today with a parcel....My lovely new 12mm wooden needles! Bought on Esty from Snokistfarmgirl, and some 2.5mm DP needles so now I have NO EXCUSES not to try knitting socks. I prefer using wooden needles as they are much smoother and don't make a squeaky metal sound. I couldn't find and reasonably priced 12mm ones in the shops or on eBay, Etsy was my saviour! YAY! Just look at the beautiful stamps on the tube as well- aren't they just gorgeous? I'm going to try and steam them off to keep. I used to collect stamps when I was a kid - but shhhhh....don't tell anyone :)
