A stitch in Time and Some Blog Candy

Morning folks....I have a sneaky feeling it's going to be one of those days...you know the kind when nothing goes according to plan and of course when you leave things to the last minute....the pressure is on.   Trying to get my DT card for Penny Black Saturday finished and had the not so bright idea of doing a little bit of stitching.  
One minute it's all going swimmingly then the bobbin ran out of thread....memo to self...make sure you have enough thread to complete the project and after faffing around with that...the blinking thread broke and oh my giddy aunt could I get it back through the miniscule eye of the needle.... think I need to buy myself some magnifying specs.....but eventually after much tearing out of hair and some naughty words.....a little sneaky peek of what caused all the trouble....
But just because my day has been crap so far....doesn't mean yours should be....so it's time for a little bit of blog candy...a chance for you to win some goodies from the NEC.....

On a very sad note I know the day is not going to get any better...I am off to the funeral of my Simply Create teamie Angela who lost her brave battle with cancer last week.....she was just the sweetest kindest lady...courageous and cheerful to the end....she will be sadly missed by all who had the privilege to know her.
