Random Witterings!

Yesterday my lovely friend Tracey and I went to the Birmingham NEC for our annual spring attendance at the Craft and Sewing Exhibition.  As we walked down to the main entrance my inner fangirl perked into overdrive as we saw a huge line-up of Stormtroopers, Darth Vader and numerous other characters from Star Wars, SG1 and Stargate Atlantis.  Unknown to me, there was also an exhibition called Memorabilia going on too that I really wish I’d known about!  Anyway, I managed to bug Tracey into taking several pics for me of the line-up which she kindly did and also I accosted a few Stormtroopers who were bravely patrolling the corridors inside   I have to say they were awesome, really polite and must have posed countless times for a lot of people.  I even saw one elderly lady having her picture taken with a couple of them which just really tickled me.  Later on I saw Indiana Jones cracking away with his whip and a very shiny Cylon stalking the halls.  The SG1 team were really cool and ooh, Darth Maul growled at me… heeee

All the characters were there courtesy of www.ukgarrison.com and their partner organisations and I have to say HUGE kudos to them.

Here are a couple of the pics!

So I finally managed to get another cross stitch finished!  Because my moods can be so variable cos of the dumb dysthymia I go through phases where I lose interest in some things.  I’m really glad the interest came back eventually cos I loved this kit.  It’s a Cat’s Rule kit by Heritage Crafts and I love them, have at least one other to do next

This is so like my lovely Bubbles it makes me giggle every time I see it!

On another note, I’ve had a good rummage through my project boxes and I realised how much my tastes have changed and there are kits and charts I will never do now.  Rather than let them gather more dust, I’ve put them up on ebay and can see the list here.  Also up are a set of Princeton Gallery World of the Unicorn collection plates that I’ve had for so many years and never had out of the boxes and on display.  I kept telling myself that eventually would find a place to put them but have finally accepted that will never be

That’s all for now!
