Thrifty Finds #006 and #007

It's been a little while since I last went hunting for gems but yesterday I came across these 2 items at YMCA, Tunbridge Wells which I've now given a home.

The knitted vintage toy soldier I just had to buy. I love to collect London reminders so this dear little thing will take pride of place on the sofa...along with the cats who like to muscle in on photos the cheeky monkeys.

And this elegant deer I spotted a mile away which will probably find it's home above the fireplace along with my owls and pigeons and what not!

Well that's my latest thrifty finds for now. Happy Friday peeps and have a lovely weekend.

Piece of cake

Knitted this birthday cake for my mum-in-law. It's taken me weeks but I finally finished it! I love doing something different for my loved ones birthdays and giving them something they'll always remember and cherish. If you fancy trying to make a knitted cake, I'd recommend Knitted Cakes by Susan Penny which is where I got the pattern from.
