Despite the grotty weather we headed out with Charlotte to Riverside retail park and Riverside Farm Restaurant for lunch.
Was really surprised at how poor Home Bargains was for Christmas stuff, either they'd been picked over or, which I suspect, they didn't have it in to begin with. Once again, we ended up coming away with just a few bits and ordering what we were looking for online. The main thing was we managed to get Willow some of her munchies enough to last her the festive period and at a better price that previously.
We had a carvery at Riverside Farm and caught the bus back to the city. Dropped lucky for a Cotgrave bus back. We got home to an array of parcels. One from Joyce, with some lovely gifts inside. Stamps journal papers a gorgeous mug by the artist Chicken Lips ( Tim Holtz has quite a few of his weird and quirky pieces) a tea towel and a set of Tim's stamps. Lovely of her to send me them, very kind and thoughtful.
I also had a couple of Temu parcels. Some of the items were for Charlotte's Valentine's tier tray and some were bits and bobs I'd ordered. A sweatshirt, another of the wooden boxes to hold some craft stuff, and various bits and bobs.
Yesterday we had a bit of a rearrangement of my craft area, my teir tray with all my tools on was unstable, so we swapped it out for the smaller one in the kitchen which stands much more securely on the space I have for it. But, being smaller it meant less room for my larger tools. Kev took the wooden box and stuck it to the side of the storage unit near my desk making a useful shelf to put above my work space.
The larger teir tray in the kitchen works out much better, allowing me more room to display my favourite pieces.
With a weekend of crafting ahead of me, hopefully the new arrangement will help me get some much needed organisation.
