A few hours of day light

Making the most of the daylight while we still have some. Now its dark after work I have to take photos in the early morning sun, of which there was plenty today. I have been putting together the decorations for the place settings and sewing bunting for my wedding table that will be featured Once wed.
The major spending glass wear, plates, cutlery is done now and the budget is getting dangerously close to the end! But no need to panic yet as lots of the things I would like to use will be hand made with a few vintage things thrown in for good measure, It's so much fun can't I do this all the time? Wishing you all a good weekend and hope you can fit lots of fun things to do in the next two days.

Ana Ivanovic

La tenista serbia Ana Ivanovic de 20 años de edad, fue elegida como la deportista con el mejor cuerpo del mundo, según un sondeo efectuado por el diario alemán Bild, que incluía hombres y mujeres. Ana logró el 51% de los votos. Es una de las mejores tenistas pero la belleza algunas veces es más resaltante que el talento, aqui unas fotos para la revista FHM.

Pie bird

Saturday morning I went to Battle for a cream tea with my friend Jemma and I couldn't resist buying this pie bird and Cath Kidston tea towel with a vintage skier and log cabin print. A little bit of festive cheer never hurt anyone.

In the afternoon the husband and I also managed to survive a visit to Ikea. I was joking with another friend about the fact that Ikea can be a dangerous place, and he rightly said " it is a breeding ground for domestic disputes." But no bickering and a quick stop at Wagamama for dinner ended a lovely day with no one being grumpy. Horay.

Sunday. Grey. Drizzle. Lets stay in. Coffee. Slippers. Thick jumpers. Blankets.

The way I create

So this is the thing. My initial idea was in my head. Then I became involved with the paper. The magazines. The scraps and samples. Its like I get possessed. Some what like the painter from the TV show Heroes. You know the one? Well anyway after I came to and stepped away from the paper shreds around me, these were the colours that emerged. So sorry about me and my mad professor ways. Hope you can keep up! The foundations of my wedding table design are set. These are they.

Walk Collect Dinner Dessert

History

Happy sunday to you. I know a few kind bloggers have been posting about my Estate sale boxes and I thank them for being so sweet. I also thank them for finding the boxes new homes, as there is no doubt that all the coverage has increased sales. If you were one of the purchasers I thought I would tell a little more on the boxes history.

All the items are a mixture of vintage and new haberdashery that I have collected over the last 10 years. From craft shows, craft shops, foreign travel (paris, prague,USA), antique stores some bits I inherited from my great grandmothers and great aunts sewing boxes. All I have treasured with such a passion I didn't know how to finally decide what to use them for.

I have always dreamed of owning my own haberdashery where I could help others choose the perfect things for their projects. So when I discovered Etsy I knew I just had to share. It makes me so happy to know a box of my treasures has made someone else's day, and that with fresh new eyes and vision they will create what I couldn't.

I love layers.

Cristina from Sartoria Vico a small italian fashion brand and online shop based in Milan, sent me an email the other day and as I wait for the arrival of Dean I thought I'd tell you all about it. Super cute Knits. Cosy and slouchy and available in lots of cool colours. Perfect wardrobe additions to for the months ahead.

rocky road

Dark evenings and jittery creatures do not make for a good photo shoot but I gave it go. These little guys have been my friends for two weeks. I have loved giving them treats. The little dude at the end lives in the pent house up top the guineas. This hamster thought all his christmases had come at once when I snuck him a couple of macadamia nuts that were left over from making rocky road ice cream.

the first snowflake

A little morning sun and sparkle on my first snowflake. It glitters so much more in real life. Too hard to capture in the few seconds spare I had before my bakery dash on the way to work. Princess bun for breakfast. Yum.

Resting up this evening with my sister before the big Saturday evening tidy. The Husband arrives home from his week in Taiwan. Fresh sheets and scented candles will finish the transformation from single gal crash pad to cosy home for two.
