Finds, Makes and Amusement.............

The week started well with some lovely material finds tucked in the corner of a soft furnishings shop......


"Raining Cats and Dogs" and some lovely retro brown circles and swirls - Now what to make ??

I also finished my daughter's quilt for her bed sssssh..... as she's asleep I will let you have a peek - not displayed the best on a chair in the kitchen! (Note to self - must improve photography skills!) 



Whilst munching on my lunch today, I asked a male colleague if he had heard of the term a "catazine", as I was looking at the new Joules one.


(I do love Joules  I'm very lucky - two lovely shops in the coast only a few miles away!)


"No" he replied, "What is it?"

 Having just flicked through it I said ;

" It is where you can see a model in a short pink tweed skirt
 and read about Jimmy's sausages"

This caused great amusement !!

Possibly not the best two examples to put together!!!

Finally, a quick batch of banana muffins whipped up ready for the Primary school Table Top Sale tomorrow who knows, may be I'll find a little treasure or two ???

Until next time - Happy crafting....

  4. Hi Linda- I've just seen you on Vintage Vicki's comments- through my son's nursery last year I got to know Catherine from kidsandcapers.blogspot.com and go weekly now to her daily coffee shop where she stitches with two other friends as well- we're there overlapping with coffees and scones just chatting with our needles and hooks. It's therapeutically fabulous! Grab some friends and a little cafe you know and cast on!
