Ooh ahhh ouch
My poor finger has been pricked to pieces in the quest to hand sew a hexi quilt .... I can't get on with a thimble and I've tried the little rubber wotsits used to collate paper but just cannot use them either so I am giving my pinkie a rest for a few days. Here is progress so far .... looks like it will be single size by the time I am finished and I am just using remnants and offcuts from other projects.
Hexis are great little time fillers ..... I keep a basket where I pop my scraps, templates and supplies and I just dip in and out when I have a little spare time!
On Friday I met with Serenata of The Balancing Kiwi blog and if you pop over there you will find a lovely amusing account of our day
this is Tatty ... Scruff's partner in crime
He is growing on me and looks better now he is at home than he did on a dusty old market stall ... he still needs a visit to the poodle parlour though !
Serenata had found a print by Lilian Rowles at an antiques fair earlier this year and had kindly brought it along to add to my collection .... isn't she beautiful
I missed my car booting yesterday because I had the grands on sleepover on Friday night but I made up for it this morning .... are you ready
one large lined curtain in a fabulous Beatrix Potter print ... it is covered with little cameos of all the favourite characters
A Beswick Flower/Posy Vase
A large ice blue 1930s glass bowl
A complete set of 75 copies of Golden Hands magazine from the early 1970s .... does anyone fancy knitting a very stylish housecoat ;-)
Some wonderful magazines from 1951
which will probably be coming with me to the Northampton Vintage Fair this coming Saturday 21st May .... I can't wait as it is fantastic venue with oodles of vintage loveliness and of course some equally lovely bloggers ..... hope to see your there x
