New wool!!

I found a haberdashery in Westbury-on-Trym which has a bit of everything - paper, scrapbooking, wool, fabric, ribbon, stuffing...  So I couldn't resist buying a few cheap balls of wool that I can use for making toys, etc.

I also collected my parcel today with my delivery of King Cole Merino Blend DK wool in a range of pretty colours, which I'm going to use to create granny square cushion covers or something, in the style of this throw.

So here's the total collection of wool that I have acquired today:

It makes me very happy looking on Ravelry and seeing my 'stash' all laid out in colour order!

Scrapbooking pad

I know I have far too much scrapbook paper that I hardly use, but this set that I bought today is pretty enough that it ought to inspire me to get going again. The first few pages have press-out letters, words, phrases, frames and other accents, then the rest is gorgeous double-sided patterned paper. Now I just need to get some photos printed!



I've also just discovered that the same company does paper designed by Amy Butler, who creates gorgeous fabric patterns.
I've found it online on lots of websites, including Mod Scraps (who also do scrapbooking events in Bristol) and here, and matching embellishments here.

Etsy purchases

I ordered some lovely jewellery from Etsy over the weekend, all from OzBushfireAppeal.etsy.com, so all the proceeds will go to the Australian Red Cross.
