I bought lots of nice things yesterday.
A new electric heated throw.
Different things at the fabric mills.
Some Berber fur fleece and it was half price. I just got one piece. It was teddy bear coloured fabric and in the old days I would have made antique jointed teddy bears with a growl voice box in them. But when I got home I put it on the bed and joined Popeye for a nap, I was so toasty, I am thinking I am going back to get some more for the couch in front room, and for my potting shed. But there is only one thing...all the other pieces of the half price fleece was in shocking pink. I think batty old lady can live with shocking pink!!!
I didn’t return immediately to get it because I was tired when I got back, so I think it’s extremely unlikely there will be a rush on shocking pink Berber fur fleece, don’t you?
What else did I get at the mills ?
Some purple all wool material of a very nice design. It will make a great winter jacket.
And another orange fleece, called cuddle fleece. It is actually so soft and cuddly.
Then into to wool building. A building full of wools of all descriptions. It is wool heaven

I found some recycled cotton (material) on reels to crochet with. It needed a number 10 crochet hook. So I got that in...wait for it...purple! It is fairly heavy and I think it will crochet a couple of winter hats. I often nearly lose my hat because of high winds, and this hat will be for those kind of days.
I also got some arran wool mix to crochet a lighter weight hat....in purple!
I got some fancy colourful design crochet hooks!
Now that I am going back today to get some shocking pink Berber fur fleece, I want some more wool material (there were some beautiful designs and colours), and I want to get some purple specialist wools to create a trim or design on the purple wool material I am going to make a jacket out of.
I was trying to be restrained yesterday at the mills, but if you had seen my final bill I think you might have gone OMG.
So today I will get the wool and material I was being restrained about yesterday...
Oh and I got some metal silver coloured buttons. They were in different mixed packs. Amazing designs, little yachts, eagles, symbols, and more. Like a child I was, or a pig in wotsit. I love buttons. What am I going to use them for? I don’t know, but they are amazing to look at. I got a few packs...
Actually I might use them in my gel prints. I make cards out of my gel prints. Or maybe in my encaustic wax paintings.
Now, I need horse blinkers for today, in order to just get the things on my return restrained shopping list....oh, and there was a great lime green on the recycled cotton to crochet...that’s going on my restrained shopping list too....
