I am taking part in The Felt Fairy's Monthly Make and this purse from Cath Kidston is my January make. The kit is from CK's book 'Stitch' which I got for Christmas. I have her other two Books, 'Make' and 'Sew' and it took me 18 and 6 months respectively to make those projects so joining has given me the incentive to get on with this one.
I have made a start on the bargain needlepoint kit that I found in a charity/thrift shop for just 2.69 GB pounds. I am working on it on week night evenings whilst watching t.v. I watch two episodes of the US programme 'Unsolved Mysteries' followed by an Australian show called 'Crimescene Forensics'. Nothing like curling up with a good crime show and some stitching on a cold winter evening, LOL.
Had a nice surprise in the post this morning when all these stitching goodies turned up. There was a note saying they were a competition prize but I don't remember the competition or even entering but as most stitchers would agree, you can never had enough stash.
Last week I made this White Chocolate and Cranberry fudge. I am not much of a cook but this was so quick and easy that even I couldn't mess it up. Anyone with a Tesco Clubcard would have seen the recipe with their last statement but I have included it below. Everyone agreed that it was delicious.
There is still time to enter my giveaways which closes midnight on Monday, 31st January. Just add your name to the post below.Happy crafting

I agree you about watching TV and stitching something at the same time...so relaxing.
The Sunflower-needlepoint-kit is beautiful,visiting the charity-markets etc. is like treasure-hunting.

Your needlepoint is looking wonderful, Shirley--stitching bright, cheery sunflowers will surely help you get through the winter! And your little purse turned out so nicely--one down, eleven to go :)
