thursdays thoughts



well this week i discovered a lovely new blog. http://agirlinparadise.blogspot.com/
it makes me want to go buy a sewing machine ! I've been thinking of buying one for a while now. We have a local shop who sells second hand ones , you can buy one for £20 , i really must go buy one as I'm worried she will shut down soon as she recently lost her husband who also ran her shop.
hers some of the beautiful tuts that are on a girl in paradise.

Behop cardi !

Im so pleased with this pattern it was so quick and easy to do. its taken me less than a week.
I did have to make it longer it looked too short on ash. Ive put on hello kitty buttons to jazz it up ! the yarn has a sparkle thread going through it so will look nice for partys over xmas. ( you can find the pattern link on my year of projects list )





Please check out some other wonderful finished projects on http://tamisamis.blogspot.com/
