My creative space

I'm playing along again this week with Kirsty.

Yay, I have cleared off the table finally that was in some of my past posts, this is here for the photo so once I have read through them, they can be divvied up into a pile!

In this shot: O-rings and buckles from Nicole Mallalieu

Cross stitch patterns

Brand new books

The cross stitch patterns I picked up today from the oppy, $1 or so each. I now have a whole book of alphabets, great for embellishing or personalising a gift.

One of the buckles is already on my finished Mod bag, the others going to the next bag I make, a plain fabric one with a magnetic closure and one strap (I like to plan my projects ahead).

And the books? I joined a bookclub a year ago, and the deal was (as many of you may know) you agree to buy 4 books in the first year. What a score I got!! The Cath Kidston came with a free tote to embellish, and heaps of templates. A happy crafter today!
