Opshopping Loot!


I decided to head in to Hobart today with the kids as one of the opshops was having a sale. I didn't stay too long as one usually can't with kids, but I scored really well - this is just some of my loot......


These first 2 are obviously linen/fabric, but I also scored myself this crochet cardi - a tad daggy, but that is me all over! (Although some may argue a little more than a "tad").



I managed to get a denim & velvet jacket too & a couple of patterns & diolies. Unfortunately there really wasn't anything for the kids - will just have to keep going on the machine!

Oh I also forgot I got a lovely package in the mail yesterday. I won a comp at craftymamas & received this knitting book - which I have already earmarked a few basic patterns for me (the more basic the better!!). I purchased the latest Ottobre which is just full of gorgeous patterns as always. I made up the top which is next to the devine brown Euro fabric I also purchased. Now that I know it works I will make it up with the brown fabric. It is the last pic - blue floral.

Yep, it looks the same to me. It would have been such a gorgeous sheet set! I always think it's so nuts to find the same things like that. The colour in mine is quite good, it actually looks like it's new but it's pretty hacked up.
