Once again the work/life balance has spiralled out of control which inevitably leads to letting things slide - even when those things give you a great deal of pleasure i.e blogging./reading other blogs etc
So, although I am still going to be mad busy over the next couple of weeks I am intending to try to post at least twice a week until such time that I can get back to more regular posts. The other problem is that crafting has gone by the wayside at the moment so, as this is ostensibly a craft blog, what do I post about?
Well, even when you are busy there is always time to score some great bargains.......
..especially when those bargains are wool based! I bought these at Dunelm Mills (cut price homeware/fabrics/fake flowers - you name it, they sell it) for a bargain 99p each. I don't know what I will do with it but it was too hard to resist. You can just make out the splattered effect on the Rowan Spray - I like it because it is a bit like felt spaghetti - has anyone ever used this??
I also wanted to finally d a post about the swap that I did way back in January with Ambika from (into) The Fray. I swapped a wee hottie for these lovely earrings and bracelet....
...Thanks Ambika! I really love them and they came so beautifully presented. Check out Ambikas' Etsy store - it has a variety of jewelry and fabric items - well worth a visit!
Last but not least I am posting a picture of some Scotties for Molly to have a look at.....
....just a few left in the Pack but should be able to add to them in a couple of weeks as I will be free to do my own thing once again!!
don't beat yourself up about not blogging. Life is far more important than entertaining the cyber community!
However showing off your wool - wool you bought for 99p is just too cruel;-)
Will we ever be able to buy a Scottie dog or any of your other tweed delights?

I've made a scarf out of some of the 99p Rowan Spray from Dunelm, I also bought some of the cotton Holiday yarn and might pluck up the courage to knit a jumper with it!

I'm not generally a soft toy kind of girl, but those dogs are delightful.
