A Queen Of A Night......

Hello everyone!
Well I must say I enjoyed the CK craft night immensely!


We were greeted by smiling staff and  offered either a glass of white wine or a soft drink.
The table was set with a selection of cakes stands,  bearing the weight of a choice of wonderful cupcakes......yummy!
Once we had settled down with the above goody bag........( I know!!!! How cute!!! Love it!!!)

.........which everyone pretty much dived into straight away! (my sis and I included !!!)




We had a quick talk from the lady and then helpers made the rounds to assist us!
Having done Xstitch and tapestry before,  I did not feel this was beyond me.....also it helped that the pack included good clear instructions.
So all in all it was well worth the money and was lots of good fun!
I enjoyed meeting new people and it was also a good chance to spend some quality time with my sister.
I also met Julie who writes the pretty blog Shabbychic.
Such a lovely lady........great to meet you!




Oh....and we also had 15% off on the night....I only bought this and some bits for my Jubilee swap buddy.
My sister bought the Royal Stanley mini messenger bag! Lucky ducky!
(I would have liked to have added some pictures of my fellow crafter's,  however I did not want to 

make anyone feel under pressure!  Plus they had a professional photographer already doing her thing! 
Check out the CK FB page......I think we might be on there soon!.......Really hope I'm not pulling a daft face.......or having a weird photo moment.....I sometimes have them!!!!)

Hello everyone!
Popped to my mum's today.
She was having a clear out and gave me this.




I love vintage bevelled edged mirrors.
So beautiful and actually really flattering!

Thank you for all the lovely comments

Which is totally fab.....but I can't wait to crack on with some job's!

See you soon!
