day tripping haul.....


Hello!!

The other day Gary had a day off work so we decided to do a day trip to the country. We headed towards Bendigo so I could visit the woollen mills and replenish my stash......


I found lots of lovely wool that I couldn't resist!

I picked up a bargain with the mint green balls in the plastic bags at the front, it is the exact same wool I use heaps of, just without the labels, and it is a discontinued colour and one of my favourites, so I have been trying to stock up when I see it in wool shops before I can't get it any more. Anyhoo, there it was sitting on a shelf in the infamous bargain back room, bags and bags of my favourite wool! Usually around $5.80 a ball, here $2.50 a ball. Yay! I've stocked up!!

Also picked up quite a few other bits and pieces that should keep me busy for a while. We stopped in at Kyneton on the way back, and the wool shop there 'Pick up Stitches' was having a sale, so I found a few more balls to take home with me!

Stay tuned for lots of new stuff from this haul!

    how fun! I'm slowly building my stash so that (in my impatience) I can begin new projects on a whim (ie: straight away)
    Can't wait to see what you create...

    I've never been to the Bendigo woollen mill, will have to have a look next time I go. Pick up stitches is a favourite, each Friday when I drop my little one off at kinder I take a peek to see what's new / cheap!
