I've been quite creative today, I've finished off some stitching presents I've made for some friends and I think I may try and finish off something else before I go to bed, but I may do some reading or something else instead, my head hurts now :(

The weather is certainly looking up, I actually hung some washing out to dry on the line, I haven't done that yet this year. The garden is looking better too, I'm hoping to grow some sweet peas up the trunk of the plum tree Mum and Jeff brought over. The flower bed and two troughs are all planted up now too so they will look great when they start to flower. I'm looking forward to having somewhere pretty to sit in the better weather, I'm going to get a table and chairs set to put outside. I can take tea in the garden with friends ha ha!

Going to the market tomorrow, hoping to buy some broken jewellery gems to make into nice new pretty things for myself and others. Having lunch at the university with AK and Nicky and then I think we may be venturing to Abakhan for cheap fabric, whoop! I feel more creative days approaching! :)

Still no UCAS news.

Result!

After trapsing round Chorley charity shops all day, leaving myself half dead, I am very pleased to announce I now have a three tier silver cake stand! Last bloody shop we went in and I had to ask as it was in the stockroom, but I got it, and I'm so happy! I also got a star shaped cake tin, 3 pairs of cat socks (socks with cats on, not socks for cats but that would be cool), a pair of eyes for the towel cat, cheese, some books and other random objects! All in all it can be said that we had a good shop!

My free samples of fabrics are starting mount up, the Dalton Mill ones haven't arrived yet so I'm looking forward to those! I'm not too sure what I'm going to make with them yet, but I'm sure I can quilt something or another, a bag maybe?

Still no UCAS or hospital news.

I am the reaper

Most of this morning has been spent ordering free samples of fabric from dalston mill and various sites on the wonderous interweb! I can't wait for them to arrive, espically as most of the sites say they should be here in 24 or 48 hours.
I wonder what things I will create with my free fabric samples, I may do a quilted shopping bag or something like that. I can't really go for anything too exciting as I'm only a beginner and I don't own a sewing machine, so everything has to be done by hand, which isn't easy when you are the proud owner of crippled rubbishy hands :p
This reminds me, I'm sure Mum said she had a sewing machine doing nothing that I could have, I will have to ask about this tonight! :D
