25 Cents Of Goodness ..

Hello my dear friends,

what can 25 cents buy you these days?
 
Not much really ... but I did! I bought 25 cents of goodness in the shape of crocheting thread which once used will be worth so much more but no speaking in money terms but instead of enjoyment.

 
I picked this yarn up in a local church store. It was in a large bag with other yarn for which I had no use for so one of the ladies was so sweet to sell it to me on it's own. 
 

 
Isn't this just so pretty?! Now all I have to do is think of what can I create with it!
 
Create ... something I don't seem to have time for right now. I am so busy with other things these days and I could really do with a little time to steal myself away from my daily have to dos and create something but I think that will have to wait a little longer unfortunately. I am sure sooner or later  a little spare time will be there for creativity.
 
One thing that I will take time for is the upcoming 2 week long Church sale from the London Orchestra of the beginning of April ~ that is a must for me. I am already excited about this because of my many findings there in the past and of course I am hoping to find maybe one or two this time too. You never know what treasure I might bring home but that will be for a future post.
 
Thank you for stopping by and visiting me here at Todolwen ~ it is so nice when you do.
 
I hope you are well and life is treating you kind.
 
Have a peaceful and creative day.
Yours,
 
 
Karen B.

  1. That is pretty thread with the gradations of colour in it. You're so clever with your hands; I'm sure you'll think of just the right thing to make . . . when you have the time.

  6. Wonderful thread find - I love using it for embroidery, especially for the more dimensional stitches. A 2 week long sale? Do the things for sale change every day?

  7. I can't wait to see what you make with that lovely spool, Karen. There are some instructions on Ravelry for some very pretty bookmarks using embroidery or crochet-weight thread. If you need the pattern, let me know!

  8. I'd say that was a jolly good buy. The subtle colours are beautiful.
