These are a little taste as to what l have been up to the last few weeks - they are brooches, the sailing boats have little seagull buttons to finish them and the mushrooms have bead embellishments. l love them as do all the children.
Since the Royal Wedding and all the bank holidays l have found it difficult to get back in the swing of things l have lost track of the days l cannot wait until next week to have a 'normal week'
The other thing that has been going on is l have had the drive paved l am so pleased with it but will need to get to grips with the border now. l feel as though the 2 lads doing the drive have become part of the family they have been here so long and the amount of coffee, milk and sugar we have gone through as doubled my shopping budget LOL. Today is the last day fingers crossed the weather holds out- then l can clean up, the dust is in everything.
Heres a piccy from the front door.
And talking about the front door my new one is ordered and should be with us sometime next week.
If the rain holds off today l may have a few hours in the garden and just put the finishing touches to the borders so it has the wow factor when everyone comes for the 'look'
Have a good weekend xxxx
l have found some really useful fabric by Patty Young called 'Play Date' The fabric can be made up into rag dolls- see the pics
l just had to share this new magazine with you - l saw a reference to it on another blog which also mentioned another magazine giving out a free CK tote bag so whilst looking for that l saw the Mollie Makes magazine. Thought l'd give it ago as the CK bag looked rubbish and now l've cancelled Gardners World and subscribed to Mollie Makes. even the cover inspires me l love the way its laid out and the pictures are lovely- just my cup of tea.

I've succumb to peer and press pressure and have got a little excited for the royal wedding. l had vowed not to and that its just another day off but more and more people are organising events and l'm getting sucked in.
l've found this knitting kit for the wedding if only l could knit- l need a knitting Granny.
You can buy the pattern here if your interested http:www.craftycrafty.tv but you will need to be a quick knitter to finish before Friday.
l used some of my button stash both vintage and new along with a new box frame 30cm x 35cm so quite large.Looking about similar pictures are about £65.00 so l think these may sell at £25.99 l will be listing this one one Esty in a few minutes just to test the water. Its sink or swim with these.
