Love the donkey @Soontobeoap
I'm on a coach holiday just now and visited Bury market today. Forty years ago I lived in Manchester and loved visiting the markets so today was very nostalgic. I just found one wool stall and couldn't help but buy some 🤪. I also found lots of other bargains. So much so that the bus driver asked me how I was going to get all my stuff home. He doesn't know me - where there's a will there's a way 😃.
Tomorrow I'm travelling into Manchester on my own - I used to work in the city centre and am hoping to find some buildings I recognise.
Happy crafting xx

Used up some red gingham fabric to trim 2 baskets for the community club Christmas hamper raffle. I have started to get a move on as DGC will be descending in a couple of weeks and then I wont get any crafting done for a while. 🤣
