Today is Remembrance Sunday.
We went to the craft show at the NEC today. We got there for 9.30 and left at 1.30, thanks mom and dad for looking after the kids for us. Thanks also to Jenny who told us how to get free ticket's using Tesco voucher's and Jacky who told Jenny in the first place!
We got a few Christmas present's which I can't show here and mainly I picked up magazine's which were on offer and came with free gifts. I now have a lot of magazine's to start reading, I haven't looked in any of them yet.
Here is what we got...........

I subscribed to "Simply Crochet" magazine and "Mollie Makes" magazine for £1 each (normally £5 each) for 3 issue's (so £2 for 6 issue's - bargain me thinks!) The subscription's start in January 2014.
The lady threw in this months "Simply Crochet" magazine and a "Love Craft" canvas bag as a freebie.

Only five hexagons done on crochet table runner today. When we got home I had to sort out tea and iron school uniform's for tomorrow.
While Downton Abbey was on I started sewing all the ends in on the table runner.
I wanted to get them done before we go to bed tonight. I need to do another 12 hexagons and then the table runner will be finished.
