Little red riding hood?

Random pic I know, but the wind blowing sheer white curtains is one of my favourite things.

I have been really excited about sewing THIS little number for quite a few weeks now,

I used a mossy green wool I bought at 'fabric'-a-brac' with a cotton lining from spot light.

I'm looking forward to making some more, perhaps with a peter pan collar like the caplets I've made for my felt shop, or summer capes made from cotton alone.

My little model was not so willing today, therefor no posy shots!...... Well only spag bog ones, she seems to be her happiest when completely nude, absolutely NO socks at all thank you, definitely no capes!

Hmmmmm what else?...

Stuffed potatoes for tea tonight which were bloody nice, made with my giant home grown spuds.

I really enjoyed THIS DVD, also THIS one too.

And I've been grooving to THESE TWO songs while cooking tea.

Have a great weekend, if your around Kapiti this Saturday, check out the medieval fair in Levin.

Cosy

I was reading through Rosemary McLeod's book 'thrift to fantasy'

Drooling over the beautiful images when I came across a huge crochet granny blanket. Suddenly I remembered a beautiful blanket that was given to me 'yonks ago'. It had needed mending & I had lent it to a girlfriend to fix as I'm hopeless at crochet...2 years ago! To cut to the point we both forgot about it until Rosemary brought it all back! I love this blanket as it is huge, woollen & it fits over our queen bed just right.

So...yes..mending is a priority seeing as we have just had the first heavy frost of the year

mmmmmm woolly blankets, pikelets and big pots of tea xx

Hope your all hibernating in comfort
