I thought I was getting close to the 200 post mark and had to check to make sure. This is post 190 (as you can see!) and as a result of that my birthday giveaway is now going to be a bumper birthday/almost 200th post bonanza! I will give away one reasonably sized prize (not too big and not to small!) and 3 small prizes - come back Sunday to find out what they will be!

Today we went on an adventure - just a mini adventure. We did a trail run to Bloxham as J will be starting his new job on Monday and we wanted to work out the route that avoided Banbury town centre. We got there in plenty of time (we left at the time he'd have to leave to get there) and carried on to Bicester Village to buy me some Cath Kidston cut-price birthday gifts! I got a lovely new apron, big weekend/craft bag and a spotty flannel! Not long after we got back I heard our nosey postie trying to stuff what sounded like all the post in the world through the letter box. I ran to see what delights postie delivered and was pleased to see my shiny new fabric and a custom made keyring made by picciolo in one of my favourite colour combinations (the other is yellow and green). Here are some pics.

Keyring front, back and apron (don't i look silly in my big slippers!!!).

Fabric selection and bag.

I've also managed to squeeze in a little bit of sewing time and finished off a batch of ipod nano cases! Phew! I'm ready for a cuppa and a piece of cake now! Happy weekend everyone!!!!! :)
