Could not be arsed taking photos in really poor light conditions this week.

• 1 rug wool cutting measure. A gift from TSS. When I say gift, I mean if she hadn't handed it over I was stealing it, with force if necessary.
• 1 bag grey 8ply . When the caller ID says it's TSS I know there's a decision or a pronouncement to be made. Usually it is "Yes, bring me the yarn you just found in an op shop". Sometimes, it's "No, TSS, you do not need the collected works of the Muppets on VHS", but usually it's "Yes, I'll take the yarn". This 8ply is part of a job lot I agreed to take for Mum's mitts. Most went to Mum (she's particularly thrilled by the 2 x 200g of Bendy 8ply for $4), but there's enough here for a garment of some description, so it's at my house.
• 1 donated fashion magazine
• 2 lipsticks. Each of my three lipsticks is at scraping out with a brush point. The Body Shop has new matte lipsticks in acceptable colours. Unfortunately they bleed like buggery - I am VERY disappointed.
• 1 present, a beautiful and thoughtful gift. Festival of Birth celebrations are beginning 6 weeks early.
• 3 big plastic tubs - excess from work. To store the beanies, wristwarmers, scarves etc for next winter. One for Stasia's Soup Kitchen, one for the women's refuge, one for special stash.
• 1 vintage Patons pattern for the collection
  4 quantities of hand-dyed and spun yarn from Waratah fibres
• 2 sets bamboo sock needles
