Instead of going straight home after doing errands in town yesterday I decided to go for a little trip out past margate to the tipshop, I hadnt been out there for a while and I didnt much feel like going home to print so off I went and I am so glad I did look what I found !
I am not much of a sewer but this find is definately a good excuse to change that it was in a kit to make a lovely cushion out of lovely pre-cut squares of designer flanelette fabrics, so thick and gorgeous I have decided that with a little help from my friend Luisa danceinmygarden that I would like to make a cute little throw rug with it , so excited!
Something that most people might not know about me is I have a bit of a soft spot for witches and anything Halloweenish so when I found these I nearly squealed with delight someone was definately looking out for me yesterday.
Another thing people might not know about me is that when I was pregnant with my son some years ago I became obsessed with x- stitch, whenever I had a spare second to myself
I would be found stitching
Over the years I have completed and given away many many finished x- stitches.
I don't do them as much now as I have a new obsession, my printing but I still every now and then crack out the aida and threads and get stitching, I find it very therapeutic.
So when I found all of these x - stitch patterns and kits it was like christmas and for them to be all of my favourite designers that in most cases that when I was really into x- stitching I just couldnt afford to buy them and would just look at them longingly lol pathetic I know !
I just couldnt believe my luck yesterday I love tip shopping !
