OLD BAG!

Good Evening,it's been my day off today and this afternoon I thought I try and make a cloth bag using some vintage material.This creation is my third attempt!!! There is still much to learn and perfect but on the whole I was rather pleased with the result.I especially like the buttons as I think they are a good match for the flower.............

Summer jug for Autumn

Hi there,it was quite cold in sunny Chesterfield today,I wore my new winter coat,plain black from M&S.I had a wander round the flea market and got a GORGEOUS crinoline lady tall jug.It has a very pretty summer garden scene on it so I've put it on my sitting rom windowsill to remind me of the lovely summer we've just had.I have a teaset in this design and I do love it very much.I'm on the lookout for a teapot to  match but no success yet.Although I did get one from ebay but when I received it ,it was smashed as hadn't been properly packed!!I've spent up for this month so will be fed up now till payday!!!I am busy practising knitting,bookmarks!,and have just learnt,via youtube,how to cast off and it was thrilling to me to do that!!My bookmarks do look like they've been knitted by a six year old though!!!

Merry CHRISTmas!

Tell me whose birthday do we celebrate on 25th December?Yes CHRIST,so WHY do people have to put Xmas?? This sounds very shallow but I visited Cath Kidston store in Meadowhall tonight and rushed to the Christmas display,but was very sad to see all the items printed Merry Xmas!I  wonder if Cath is trying to please all her non religious customers at home and abroad?What do you think my dears? Last year her things were printed  with very traditional Merry Christmas.Are we  on the slippery slope towards a Godless society after all our judicial system is based on Christianity.SOOOO! sorry to have gone all gloomy but I felt very strongly about it!
