Stitching show

Today I went to a stitching show in Harrogate with a friend (although a teeny bit of me wanted to go alone so I could spend more time just oogling and looking at individual things on various stalls). We learnt from last year and went towards the end of the day and it was much less busy, the last half an hour there were only a handful of people left and the stall holders actually had time to gossip!

I got aida, buttons, fabric, two patterns (one for a rabbit cushion and one for a needle case) a gorjuss cross stitch kit and this applique kit (though the photo does not do it justice). 

Some of the workmen were here today to finish off so I now have the joinery finished, a radiator and a plumbed in dish washer (thank goodness!!). However the electrician had a nasty shock for me. We have no upstairs lights because a junction box has gone... the problem is that we don't know exactly where it is so next week we are going to have to take up the carpet and flooring to find it *sighs*. Anyway tomorrow the guy is coming to finish off all the outside stuff and then I can get my house back again!

No more blogging for a while for me as I am off to Windsor on Sunday for my 30th :D Hampton Court Palace and the Harry Potter studios!!!
