Secret Pal 9 Reveal

Ok I know that I am very late posting this! This parcel arrived last week and yes I know I am late in posting this entry. I just seem to be in a somewhat lethargic mood about so much of late.



Anyway this is what was awaiting me inside the lid:


Here are all the packages laid out waiting to be pounced on by Lara who insisted that she must help me unwrap it all. I don't know why as she ran a mile once she found out what was inside one package.

Here are the contents of all the packages laid out in the same order.
My SP sent me two balls of GGH Mystik, a silicone cook mat, Lush lemon soap and handwash, two scrummy (and much enjoyed) bars of chocolate, two 3mm Addi circulars and two skeins of Manos del Uruguay yarn.




My SP had also sent these two cards to me separately revealing who she was. I decided that I wasn't going to open them though until after the final parcel had arrived so not to spoil anything. I want to find out where she got the stationery from because of the flower petals.



My SP revealed herself to be Nikki and you can read her blog here: http://www.purplekitchen.org.uk/blog/. She had me spoilt absolutely rotten and I am looking forward to meeting her again (this timeproperly) next time I am in London as she popped by and saw me at Ally Pally without introducing herself! Thanks again Nikki :)

Just to prove that I am still alive....


Have been meaning to get round to doing new posts but keep getting distracted. Here is the next project to complete for August for Bingley show.

Brighton Goodies

Well for once I came away from a show with no yarn at all. Well excluding that which I took with me. I bought the below with the intention of playing with it all.

The hearts and the fish I got from Meiflower I will be playing with socks with.


These I will be threading onto some wire and having a crochet play session.


I bought these from Risq Limited (www.stores.ebay.co.uk/joe-kings-wholesale-beads ).

Here was a quick play with some of their wire and one of their droplet beads
