Sunny Saturday....

...ok, so the sunny Saturday has turned to rain....but so what? I've had a lovely afternoon making pretty things from the mornings purchases.

Took a little drive to the local Hobby Craft. I have to admit, not somewhere I would normally go, but its only just opened, I was curious, and a bit of breakfast at the nearby Garden Centre all helped.

And yes, I did manage to spend my money....

.....on some rather nice papers, a few pretty buttons, and some felt (my favorite being the red polka dot)!

I also love the pink flower buttons....perfect for a flower brooch....

And so a creative afternoon followed, and 2 new hairslides created....

Now its time for a glass of wine!

Happy weekends all! x
