Bargain and another try with crochet.

I love flowers, but rarely buy any because they are so expensive, plus, if I'm honest, I don't like big bouquets ... just a few cut flowers in a vase or jug suit me fine.
This afternoon we went shopping and they had a small bucket with some flowers in marked down.
They should have been £8.00 ... I got them for 80p!

I love bargains!

Obviously, my flower arranging skills leave alot to be desired, but have no fear, I will start to poke around until they look a little more pleasing.

I had another go at the crochet pattern I showed you yesterday as well.

I'm assuming you still need to stretch this even though it's wool?  You can tell I'm clueless about this can't you.  I think I need to google and read up on it a bit.

I have also done a little more on my stitching, but don't have a picture of that to show at the moment. I'm so enjoying that design, it's great to stitch and I think it's looking great.

Later next week we're off to a three day Bible convention. As we stay away for it, I usually take something to do in the evenings in our room.  I have taken stitching previously, but find it a bit difficult to take anything but small card sized projects.  So this year I'm going to just take a couple of balls of different sized wool and a crochet hook as that'll take up next to no room and will be so much easier to manage.
Hopefully I MIGHT even have something to show when I get back ... but I'm not feeling totally confident with my ability just yet!
