Hello there ....
Just thought I would share today's delights with you.
Look what Father Christmas brought me...
Well ... it was the parcel man actually... this year I am working closely with F. Christmas ... we are working on a new initiative ... actively seeking to reduce air miles and ...
a) lessen the stress and work exhaustion of employees...
b) work within Health and Safety guidelines to promote and achieve optimal animal welfare in the workplace ...
Thus the parcel man it was ... and he delivered them wonderfully ... a lovely gift from the ever thoughtful Hubby P ...
New Work Boots! ?
A nice Girly pink .... although they are described as purple.... a bit of a lilac colour there.
So they had an outing today .... a little stiff with newness ... but nice and bright and jolly on a cold grey day.
How do you like them... are they too pink?

This afternoon I had a bit of a play about with some vintage velvet and pretty lace.
I found the lace panels/ inserts ...whatever.. the other day and thought how pretty they would look as the focal point of a nice cushion ... or bag or ... well ... something I could look at and admire (rather than me stash the lace in the storage cases ...with the other goodies waiting to be made into something lovely).
I had some wonderfully deep blue velvet .. a skirt ...vintage .. a teeny tiny size with some damage ... so I had saved it for the fabric.
I spent some time carefully stitching the lace to one of the velvet skirt panels.. ready to be made into a pretty cushion.
The lace panels are all different in shape ... should make a nice collection of cushions.
I found these dinky doilies too ... they are a rather pretty greeny/aqua colour ... they may make a nice addition to the new look cushions ... I'm on a roll now!
I found a bit of nice green velvet too ...
So many choices ....
Good job we have a few days off .... it gives me time to indulge myself and sew .... and sew...love it!
So what have you got planned ... any time for crafting?
xx
