A mixed bag

Well my dears, I've been spending money this week.

I went to Amazon and got a couple of books that I liked the look of

to add to my library of crafts books. I haven't told MrT yet and he won't notice them in the bunch.

Is that too naughty?

Then I went to Kandi Pandis shop on  Folksy and got myself one of her Mini Hexi kits (Thank you Lisa) so I can give patchwork a go----again.  

Then I sat down at my sewing machine with my new Adele CD and 

heres my Monthly Makes.

A new notebook cover from a damage table cloth,

Then a couple of washbags and lunch bags for my Folksy shop.

I love this pattern, 

Then last night was the main expense.

This was were I went

This was who I went to see.

Do you know who it is yet?

This is what we paid for , certainly to start.

Well this is what three of my friends and I spoilt ourselves with.

We started at about 6 o'clock with a couple of cocktails before heading off to Norwich City

football ground to have a three course meal consisting of recipes from his new book of Spanish cooking.

The first course was a crab tartlet which was fantastic.

Then we had Chicken in a super almond sauce

and finished with a flan and sherry and raisin ice-cream.

My photo aren't great (well I did have wine as well as cocktails.)

This is as close as I got I'm afraid but we did get a talk which was quite good.

But look who else was there talking to a couple of my friends,

well it is her restaurant.

It was one of those experiences that you just have to take when they come along 

if you want to live life to the full

and I had a great time.

So here is my Plant of the week (I love Holyhocks)  to wish you all a great weekend 

and hope you all manage to live life to the full.
