Actually despite the title I didn't deviate too much from my planned FNSI.
I had Friday afternoon off work so amongst running a couple of errands I manged to start crafting early in the day.
I got totally sucked in by a cross stitch which hadn't received much love recently.
I probably need a larger frame for it, as I'm having to move my round one frequently as can be seen from the creases. I think its called Mini Christmas Patchwork and there's a chance it might be complete by Xmas.
I finally got round to seeing in the threads on a t shirt I have recently seen.
Then I moved onto cutting up strips for my low volume scrappy trip around the world quilt.
I think I need to cut 38 far quarters into 2.5 inch strips to have enough to make blocks for a king size bed. I'm a few fat quarters short, but I have enough to keep me busy.
And this is the point my plans changed. I had intended to have dinner and then continue pressing and cutting fabric, maybe sew in the threads on a pair of trousers and then knit.
What actually happened was an impromptu trip to a couple of bars in Cheltenham. A very enjoyable distraction, but we were back early enough (and sober enough) for a few rows of knitting for me and a bit of X Box for my partner.
All in all I think I had a bumper FNSI.

Even with the distraction you did manage some progress.
Your cross stitch looks interesting.
I think you were very busy and deserved your evening out! xx
Sounds like you had a great Friday to me! You managed some sewing, knitting, and getting out to a pub or two. Winner, winner, chicken dinner! hahaha! It was nice getting with you last Friday night!
