Memories of May

Memories of a sweet, sunny May .................

Onwards into summer ...........

A Darker Shade of May .................

Darker shades of May ........................

Weekend fun.

Another weekend been and gone.  Full of fun and frolics.

An early start on Saturday to get Mabel off on her Duke of Edinburgh practice weekend and not a raindrop in sight.......

Then preparations went into overdrive for the event of the year!  Eurovision party night.  The scene is set and the German inspired feast prepared ....... not forgetting our voting sheets ..............

Those nice people from Amazon had my new 'bible' delivered ......

And what a treat it is too.  Both visually and inspirationally.

More beauty and inspiration came in the form of a gift from our Eurovision guests .......

What a delight.  Who needs to be able to read French with these visions ......

And even more weekend inspiration ........ this time a fantastic vision into understanding horses.  A great, knowledgeable insight into communicating with your horse produced by my old housemate and pal, Kate Farmer.  Good old Amazon have it stocked too.

Another finished frock ...... with matching hair piece and corsage ....... fab fabric from Millie Moon in Frome again .......

All in all, another jolly weekend .........

Egg-xtra storage .....

Take and old egg box ..........

 Some pretty vintage material and bits and bobs ..........

 

A sewing machine  ...........                                                                                                                

  A little bit of time - cutting and stitching ..........

 And what do you get?

A little egg-xtra storage for those odds and ends that end up at the bottom of the sewing box ..........

All safe and sound and easy to find.

Finished!

Take a few bits and bobs.  Some gorgeously scrumptious alpaca yarn from the perfect knitting shop, Marmalade Yarns www.marmaladeyarns.co.uk.  Some wacky buttons and thread from the inspirational haberdashery shop, Millie Moon www.milliemoonshop.co.uk .................

And some hours later what do you get ..........

On to the next ........

Heads .......

Heads ........

and tails ................

Happy Saturday .......................
