On Saturday I went trawling through some more local thrift shops and to my amazement I rocked up outside one just in time to see a tub full of old 1970's annuals being deposited out the front with a sign saying each book was only £1! This was a truly fortuitous find as these are becoming quite the collectors item. I snapped up six of the best, not wanting to be greedy and hoped someone else would be as thrilled as I was to find these treasurers.
Filled with enthusiasm I knew what I wanted to do with some of the pages from these nifty books immediately. I had a terracotta plant pot that was crying out for a makeover so off I went.

It's only been a couple of weeks since I got my new sewing machine so I am still in the honeymoon phase and wanting to spend every spare minute with her. I decided to have a go at making an envelope purse which is super simple. I drew a pattern onto some thick paper and then cut out on two different bits of fabric and away I went.

Lastly I did make time to take the pooch for a clamber through our nearest local castle. She jumped straight on the battlements and I think she looks like she belongs there.
