Treats.....

Hello everyone, hope you're having a good week & enjoying the weather!
I woke this morning to find all our snow gone...... it only really snowed the once, we had a bit on Sunday but nothing much :(
They did forecast blizzard like conditions today but at the moment it's raining .....blimey it's cold. Glad it's my day off, I'm happily tucked up inside with my pussy cats & OH.... in my PJ's :)

Last week I treated myself to something I've been looking at for months.......

Do you know what it is yet?????

Ah yes a lovely BRIGHT red glossy shopping trolley!!!!

I love it :) I've been waiting to see if it came down in the sale as I already have a trolley (only a small fold up one from work that's about 3 years old & is very dirty now). I had a figure in mind but hadn't seen it in the shops for a while so thought they had all gone, I went in last week & they had one left.......it was only reduced by £10 & was still too much, the lady said that I'd been in several times & gave me discount!!!! Well I couldn't say no!

OH puts up with my little green trolley as it means I carry all the heavy things but he's told me I'll be shopping alone with this one!
I tried to show you all the added extras but as there's no natural light at this time of year it didn't work. It has an inside insulated pocket for chilled food, a pocket on the side & back & a nice pouch to hold your brolly.

I'm still waiting to take it out because it was snowing last Wednesday when I went to the shops & I didn't want to get it wet! ......

Next stop furry boots & a head scarf :)

I also treated myself to this.......

I'm really enjoying it.....anyone got it??? My favourite feature......you can weigh your cats!!

Now anyone who knows me would know this would make me happy......so the weigh in was....
Nanny 10lbs....tubby!!
Zoe 5lbs......very old & wasting away :(
Me....... not telling!!!!

I love the fact they will come & help you if you're doing rubbish in a game, it makes me smile.....simple things!
What's your favourite game?
I'm liking snowballing at the moment :)

And finally my new hat......

Really bad picture....it's so dark..... I found the pattern here. More about this lady soon.
So far I've been asked if I brought it from Monsoon & CK......people don't believe I knitted it!
It took slightly longer then I thought which doesn't leave me much time to make my hand warmers before I start making things for the spring fairs.

Today I've had some good news about my knitting/crafty group....... as some of you know I've been trying to get this off the ground for about 5 years but every time I hit a brick wall I give up. Not this year....... I had a venue but it fell through so last week I sent some emails & now have space in the local art centre!!!!
It was very expensive but after emailing about what & why I wanted to do it they finally agreed to give it to me at a reduced rate.....well very reduced!!

They think it's an excellent idea & would like me to talk to their education manager as well........ they're also holding a big knitting event in April that's joined with iknit so she thinks it's good for me to be on board!!!

Yep today is a good day, told you it was going to be a good year........
hope it takes off for me...... I'm very excited!
