Crafty gifts - brag list, what did you get?

[reindeesandchristmastrees]

Following on from my what do I want for Christmas thread.... I actually got some new pins of the blobby end variety, new pinking shears which are fantastic and a rotary cutter. Now looking on eBay to buy myself the other things.. Shh don't tell.
So what lovely bits did you get, you know things that non crafty people go

Ooo very good!

No crafty gifts but I do have some cash to spend and I may get myself a storage case for circular needles!

Have been checking some out on Amazon etc, I have some online survey things that are nearly at the point where I can claim £10 on Amazon so might wait for a bit until I can get those instead of spending the cash!

Oh I was just going to start a thread like this. Such fun!

I got a new rotary cutter too - a 28mm one which I hope to have a go with today.

I got some of the procion dyes I was hoping for. I probaby won't be using those today as they are a bit messy but I did get a PVC apron from my BIL & SIL so I won't have to worry about getting messy this time.

I got some Brusho powdered paints. Can't remember what is special about them but we used them for paper decorating paper to make book covers and they were lovely colours, very rich so maybe I shall just make some up and gaze at the colour.

I got a 3 books too.

Nothing for knitting this year. Must have been an oversight on my Christmas list although other than square needles and more books I don't have room for and yarn I don't have time to use, I don't think I wanted anything.

I had great fun buying DS2 various pens and pencils after my thread on good pencils for children - the cheap supermarket ones don't lay down much colour. He seems happy too.

i got 3 gorgeous strnads of pearls, amazonite, onyx and amethyst, and the coiling gizmo dvd's i wanted. have already had a bit of a play with the beads and watched the dvd's.

I got a lovely bag to store all my craft crap in :o, but when some friends of mine asked me what DH had given me for Christmas, I omitted to tell them for fear of their looks :o :o

I also got Sew by Cath Kidston and Craft from family (I'd asked for Ruth Singer's sewing guide but they weren't able to lay their hands on a copy).
