Who doesn't love a squishy, soft yarn?!? Himself scores points again 🧶🧶
Looks like Princess Heidi had a "spa day" but wasn't happy about it 🐾
Take care dearie 😘
Hiya. You are right about Princess H - very unhappy and being bathed and groomed! Hope all is well with you xx
Glad you were able to get rid of a car load of stuff.very pretty yarns, he knows you so well. Have a great weekend. 😊
Thanks Mary - great to see you on the zoom yesterday xx
As usual, lovely catching up with you. Fabulous yarn from your Himself. Look forward to catching up again next week xx
Thanks Louise - Hope you are doing okay xx
Hi Lesley, I used to dabble in doing car boot sales for less than six months, mainly due to our British weather, but I always dreaded that moment of stopping the car.
I met up with another lady and we found ourselves at side of each other a few times and we start meeting up a short way from the sites and going in together.
We made a decision to go and get a drink before opening our cars, giving time for the 'hordes' to move on and we could get our items out without to much hassle.
It made it a much easier and a pleasant experience, as much as doing a boot sale can be!
Managing a few rounds of crochet. Not done any since early January, so enjoying it. Doing a row or two then taking a break. Just making granny squares to make my granddaughter a bag for her holidays later this month.
She has started crocheting, but decided she wanted to make a present for a school friend instead of her bag. So Nanna will do it and it will be a surprise for her.
Have a lovely week. We are off to see Aladdin on Thursday evening. Looking forward to it.
Take care xxJane 🐑🌼
Hi Jane. That is a very sensible way to do a boot sale - let the vultures go to their next prey!
Good old Nanna! Glad you are enjoying the crochet and are able to do it at the right pace.
Take good care and enjoy Aladdin xx
Any yarn acquired for you is always thrilling. Nice gift of Himself for you. He's so thoughtful that way.
Hi Roxey. I think he's trying to keep me sweet. We'll pretend that it's working (lol!). Thanks and take care xx
Glad to hear your boot sale went well and the weather was kind to you! It sounded very well organized and not like the “free for all” that we did before moving house which was very intimidating- and not repeated! Himself always seems to find a wool shop for you! He is definitely a keeper! Hugs to Heidi xx
Hi Heather. We were impressed at the thought that had gone into organising the boot sale. Definitely not a free for all - and better for that.
Hope all is well xx
Thank you foe another visit
Looking forward to tomorrow
Thank you - I started watching your last podcast yesterday (super late again). Look forward to seeing you later xx
Lucky lucky you with such pretty yarn. Glad the boot sale went well hope this week goes well
Thanks Joel. Hope things are good for you xx
I’m so glad that you had a good experience doing the car boot sale as I can only imagine it still would have been quite emotional. And I have no doubt the three of you shared past memories throughout the day over the items. Thank you for the reminder for tonight as I have yet to catch up this last week with Barbara - see you later x
Hi Muireann - good to see you yesterday. By the time we were selling, it was okay - it was the packing up that was hard - we hadn't realised how much of my Mum's stuff Dad still had - but we are getting through stuff. Thanks and take care xx
Hi Lesley, Good to hear the bootsale went well. A bonus that the weather was pleasant.
We're in Buxton this weekend. I have birthday money, so I will probably come home with a souvenir. It's our wedding anniversary on Sunday 34 years, time flies!
Have a good weekend. X
Many congratulations - happy anniversary. I hope that you have a good show at Buxton and find something gorgeous for your souvenir. Take care and have fun xx
Your car boot sale sounds very civilized indeed! I wish they would do that here. See you tomorrow! 😊
Thanks - it was a very pleasant surprise! Looking forward to seeing you xx
A little chuckle here when you were talking about the Adore Dream colorways and you said they might not go in the same project.....but then they might! True to form, Lesley. G'd on ya! I enjoyed hearing about your trunk sale. Sounds similar to the flea markets over here in my neck of the woods. (Who knows why they're called flea markets.)
Thanks so much. We have flea markets, but they tend to be permanent stalls/booths, rather than "all park in a field". Hope you are keeping well. Thanks for being here xx
I’m going to miss the zoom call again this month. Kentucky Sheep and Fiber Festival is happening in my town. I have birthday money to spend! 🥰
Hi Danielle - sorry you'll miss it but enjoy the Festival and belated Happy Birthday xx
We have swap meets, yard and garage sales but this sounds more like our flea markets .
I did a garage sale once and didn’t like the experience.
Glad yours went well.
Thanks Esther - they are not always the best fun and yet some people love them. Useful, rather than enjoyable, I would say. Hope all is well with you xx
Boot sale is news to me. In US have garage or tag sale.usually on Friday and Saturday with the end of sale being half off or take it if you need it. Some whole towns do it same time. Takes a lot of time but sometimes get incredible bargains or just the arcane bit you need.
It's good to feel that things are being re-used rather than dumped. Thanks so much and take care xx
😊
Hi Karen. Thank you xx
Sleepy baby!
She often is - very efficient with spending energy is our Heidi. Thanks and take care xx
😊
Thanks Suzan xx
