Look What I Got...

Well...why is it that I cannot go into a store

and come out with only the one thing I went in to buy?!!

I went into JoAnn's to get one crochet hook

and...let's see...

Two books, two crochet hooks & one pkg of chochet labels later...

Okay...I don't get out much so when I do...

I have to make up for it!

I used to really luuuvvvv shopping!

In the recent years I really dislike it, go figure!

Well...here are my goodies!

I hadn't bought a cross stitch magazine in several years

and it had some really cute ideas!

Wanted to check out new ideas and see what's out

there these days...

I came across this book and had to have it!

I had seen someone suggest this book and after

thumbing thru it, I can see why!

It has brought emboidery to the current century!

I will let you know just what cute things it has

once I get a chance to really look thru it!

I can already see some projects I would luv to try!

My hooks and labels!

I had seen these cute labels in my crochet and yarn

magazines and really luved them so I was

really excited when I saw them hanging on wall!

I had to have a package!

And finally...what I went to the store for...

I needed a size "L" crochet hook to try my Bernat project.

Hopefully this will work for my gauge swatch! 

The one on the left is a Susan Bates Crystalite hook

which is usually one of my favorite styles.

On the left is a Susan Bates with a Bamboo handle.

It is really pretty and wondered how it would handle.

So of course I had to buy it!

Well, I guess the only way to see if it's the right sized hook

is to quit blogging and get to crocheting!

Wish me luck!
