Now for some recent projects I have been up to. The first is creating Roman blinds for my room, which was quite a task. I had to make four one metre wide blinds because the ditsy fabric I chose was only 45'' wide and my windows are around 80'' so that was the first problem, it also took me a while to attempt to make them, I had search the net for the simplest pattern on how to put it all together. It took some doing and I still think they need a bit of tweaking but they are up, keeping the light out on the night time and that's the main thing, I've only taken a photo of the one blind because they all look the same so here it is:
Last week I was on my birthday holiday with my dear sister Beeky and we went to Stratford for a couple of days. I love it in Stratford, the time seems to slow down so you can fit loads of things in to your day where as here 24hrs is like 10 so it feels as though once your back from work its time for bed (I feel like a grandma saying that) Anywho getting back to Stratford we found some very cute places to shop there is Broadway where I got a very cute bunny tooth brush cover, and a metal sign which I have forgotten to take a picture of.
The next little shopping spot we found was Hatton Village (I think that's right) its a lovely bundle of quirky shops the type I like and also where I finally found Mr Flamingo he was my birthday present off Beeky I think she was a bit surprised when I said that's what I want for my main pressie I think she thought I was joking at first. So here is Mr Flamingo in his natural habitat:
He looks so happy :-)
Also from Hatton village I found a cute rabbit egg cup and a delicious fudge shop but that didn't last long enough for photo opportunities.
And lastly here are a couple of pieces I have picked up in the last month or so. The cup and saucer is from the Lake District, I went down to see my friend Sarah who has just open a cafe Bizzy Lizzy the cafe has been there for 7 years roughly, Sarah and her mum have taken over running it so I popped down to help out one weekend and found some very me shops.
The Plate is from Warwick can't remember the name of the shop but it had lots of pretty pieces, its hard for me to not buy everything when there crammed with everything I love, its like someone has been in my head and created a shop from it, weird.
There was another lovely place we visited called Bourton on the Water (something like that) its one of those journeys where you think the Tomtom is taking you completely the wrong way until it brings you out on to a lovely little village. Big news though for once I didn't buy anything, that's a first. Anyways that's all from my trips outs I'll try and not leave it so long for the next post ;-)
