Shabby Chic; Volume III

jumblejack

So chuffed. Made a cute hat today and a little pocket for my playing cards!!!!

The second project was gonna be a headband but my colour ran out.

I just folded it, crocheted the sides and put buttons on it! Looks incredible!

I'd put pics on but I'm gonna flood the thread with enthusiasm. They ain't exactly shabby chic.

Gonna seek out a wool thread to bombard with my amateur hooky nonsense.

Emma K - check your handbag!!
the highest lottery prize ever to remain unclaimed - nearly £64m - will go to good causes if the winner does not come forward by 23:00 GMT.
The EuroMillions ticket for the 8 June draw was bought in the Stevenage and Hitchin area of Hertfordshire.

The missing ticket-holder matched all five numbers - 5, 11, 22, 34 and 40 - and the Lucky Star numbers - 9 and 11.

I wish! I don't do it and my husband plays online! x

Haha! You're not going to believe this! My husband just won the lottery! Not quite 64 mill but £100 is okay by me!

I saw a similar scotty dog, a doorstop, in homebase today and thought of your dog both so adorable!



Wow £100! congrats Emma Kate's husband. The most I've won is a tenner and that's so long ago I can't remember when. When my aunt visited one weekend she won £65! why can't I be as lucky? What are you going to spend it on?

emma_kate

Sadly we don't agree. I would have a lovely meal out and take the little one bowling. He wants a tablet, saying it's for me too! I don't want a tablet! I don't even know what a tablet is! Men and their gadgets eh?

I have a tablet and never use it... we won the lotto 15 years ago - £1200 Spent it on central heating as we only had a coal fire thingy. Hubs was not amused but agreed as long as I didn't tell anyone at his work. I've never regretted it , mmm heat
