Who´s a lucky girl then?

It´s not everyday that you win not one but TWO giveaways!!  The last time I won a raffle, competition or such was about thirty years ago. From Debbie at Debbie´s Cross Stitch I have won a $20 gift certificate and  from Monique at A Half- Baked Notion, sets of her beautiful earrings.  Two generous bloggers who took part in the Grow Your Blog Hop.

Due to a lot of blog visits  this week, I have only advanced a little on `A Good Marriage´ by Lizzie Kate.

and incremented my number of mini hexies thanks to a visit to the doctor.  Amazing how many hexies one can sew up while in the waiting room.

I´m not sure just what I´m going to make with these.  I´m attempting to reduce my embarrassingly large bag of scraps which, high on a wardrobe shelf, wobbles, heaves, erupts and spews its contents earthbound showering the innocent victim who so unwisely adventures to open the wardrobe door.

This week I fell to the temptation of entering our local patchwork shop, really just to say `hello´ to the girls...as you understand... and bought this bright and happy fabric called Quilting Bee by Fabri-Quilts. Thought I might recover one of my sewing baskets.

and that same day I popped into our local sewing shop.  The owner is retiring in April and the DMC threads are reduced to 1 euro.  We only have DMC and Anchor threads  here so maybe I should stock up a bit.  Of course I started to dither about which colours to buy because you can bet your life that if I bought a couple of dozen, I would have the very same colours at home, so I chose very few.

........then the Super Duper lady asked me if I would like her old DMC colour chart.  Oh yes please, so useful, thank you very much.  Now I can mark off all the colours I have at home and buy the ones I don´t have.

Thank you for visiting. See you next week.
