I went to see mum yesterday: she lives just over an hour from me, just outside Port Solent which is a marina outside Portsmouth. The marina has plenty of bars, cafes and restaurants, and has just opened a crafty shopping area too, so we had to go and visit.
No fabric shops, but a lady selling card making supplies managed to take some money off me
There was also a lady selling, and making, glass beads suitable for Troll, Pandora etc bracelets. I have bought the girls one each for Christmas, but what was really great was being able to watch their beads being made: white with three red hearts
And red with three white hearts
Today I was expecting to teach Sunday School, but no kids turned up at church, so I had a lovely morning listening to the service from the mezzanine floor, checking all the felt tips work,
And tidying the Sunday School corner
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
I love the glass beads and well done on the tidy up, a great feeling when it's done :-)
ReplyDeleteWell of course you had to visit a crafty area and support them!
ReplyDeleteTrying out all the felt tips? That's the best excuse I've ever heard for not sitting with the grown ups ;o)
Good to see you are doing your bit for the local economy Benta!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely day.
