Hexagon Lovliness

Here it is............

Yes it is finally finished at a size of 65" x 40" (165cm x 100cm) and it took me a total of 3 months, not too bad. My sweeties are glad that it is finally finished as they are sick of my bag of wool taking up residence on the couch. I did inform them that I am planning another blanket and they all gave a resounding no, but when it comes to craft projects I am afraid they don't get any say in the matter.

It was my birthday at the beginning of the month and I made my first purchase at Amazon.com. The confirmation order said that the delivery date would be 20th August so couldn't believe it when I got home from work yesterday and found a package in my letterbox and it was these beautiful books..........

I think I will definitely use Amazon again not only for the prompt delivery but their prices really are very good.

I am making good progress on my stitchery of the month with the stitchery part almost done. I am looking forward to finishing off this project and putting it to use.
Lincraft had a 50% off all fabric sale last week and I bought this gorgeous piece of material..........This photo isn't so good. It is actually black with grey embroidery on it and it is quite a sturdy fabric. Some of it was used to make a tote bag, pin cushion and needle book for my beautiful SIL who lives in Melbourne and I think that I am going to use some to make this Buttercup Bag.

Back to reality this week as school holidays are over and everything starts again. I am looking forward to being the Coffee Queen at craft again this term after having a term off to teach, it will be great to be using this wonderful machine again..........

And finally, I would like you to meet Black Beauty.....

This is my brand new Hyundai Getz. I can't believe how we used to manage with only one car. Life has definitely been made a lot easier.

Blog Visits

My foot is feeling a lot better, thank you to those who have commented. It is now fine to walk on but is still quite swollen. I bought some nice new shoes & boots but unfortunately can't wear them yet due to my ankle being too fat. 

I haven't been up to much this week apart from the continued hexagon blanket that is continuing to grow slowly and I am still really enjoying it. 

I have also had fun finding and visiting some new blogs lately. I have met Bloom, Clare's Craftroom, Pepperberry & Co and Threads of Friendship and I am sure that you will enjoy visiting them as well. You may also note that I have placed a count down on my side bar and that there are only 9 days until my 1st Blogaversary. I am planning a give away to mark the occasion so don't forget to come back and see what I have in store. You also would have noticed that I have changed my header. I was able to make it on this fantastic site which I have had a lot of fun visiting. 

Well I will be back later in the week.
