Recent Purchases
Yesterday I went shopping and bought some super cheap and cheerful jewellery from Diva. I got three bangles (my latest obssession) and some yellow beads. But I am most excited about the ring because I had my eye on it before the sales and it was priced at $30. I thought this was a little steep so I pass it by and I got it for $3 yesterday! Oh yeah!
I also bought three books with some vouchers that I won at a quiz night. I think the winning question was something about Carrie Bradshaw. Anyways I got three books - Fashion Babylon, Nylon Pretty and Sock and Glove.
I have only time to flick through them but I think Sock and Glove is my favourite. It’s SO CUTE! The book is by Miyako Kanamori and was apparently a cult buy in Japan and it’s been translated to English. It’s a simple step by step book that shows you how to make snuggly little friends out of socks and gloves. I’m going to make a monkey for Mr Smaggle. He likes monkeys. Although the monkey that they have in the book is really angry. I’ll make a nice monkey.
hee hee! I took advantage of Diva’s sale too. I got a red chunky bead bracelet, a huge wooden heart necklace, a silver pendant on black cord and a dragonfly necklace. yay!
Well done, nothin like a Diva sale!
This is what my mum made from the Sock and Glove book: http://cornflower.typepad.com/domestic_arts_blog/2007/10/sockrates.html
Ah! He’s so cute! I can’t wait to have a go myself. I’m sort of saving the book for winter. It strikes me a real snuggling down in front of the fire sort of activity.
[…] I headed to Lincraft to buy some stuffing for the sock toys I’ve been making since buying Sock and Glove but apparently they don’t stay open after 3pm. I assume it’s because afternoons are […]
