I've really enjoyed spending some gems in a New Year's 'getting my house in order' sort of spirit.
Both
Dianne Marsh and Oonagh have been nimble with their thimbles in a way I
can only dream of! Dianne painstakingly stitched some spangles onto a
vintage frock I'd found for a steal which will enable me to shine at
some big birthday bashes we have coming up, whilst
Oonagh helped transform some January sales bargains into wearable pieces and is threatening to help me alter some curtains.
Martha
has worked her magic in repairing some jewellery I had which was far
too sentimental to let go - she even recycled some pieces into
completely new items and together we are discussing how we could rework
some deeply old fashioned brooches passed down by my grandmother into a
statement collar necklace (or something, now my imagination is really
running riot!).
Meanwhile Mike Finn has been kneading away the
knots brought on by all that attic clearance with his hot stones. Still
looks like a slow cooker to me, Mike, but the effects are just as
delicious!
Thanks to you all for bringing me
some winter cheer. It may even inspire me to try the Big Gardening
project, which would be a first for my very ungreen fingers.
