....Stitchin', stitchin', stitchin'.....

.....I picked up some new pieces of vintage fabric on Tuesday this week to add to my 'wear something crafty' stash.........................well, ,probably not so much the piece with houses on it, it just caught my eye and i new i just had to have a piece of it......not sure what i am going to do with it yet though.......
anyway.....lovely scrummy fabric.......



......i then picked up an old slip from a charity shop for a few pennies......



.....i now have a new more pixiefied slip to wear underneath my dresses and skirts......


....its too nice to hide underneath my dress,, so i shall wear it on show......


.....i just love it....i have another slip in dark blue to pixiefy too......


......also, i made myself a Suffolk puff bracelet to wear.........its had lots of interest from other people....i may have to make some more off these.........lovely and quick to make,.i made it in an evening.......




.....plus.....whilst i was out picking up bits of scrummy fabric and rooting through charity shops i found some old hangers in a junk shop................just perfect for hanging my 'wear something crafty' clothes on......





......and here's a little snippet of what i am working on at the moment......


......some more of this another time.....

.......i hope your all having a wonderful weekend, and the sun is shining,,,finally the big yellow ball has shown itself to our rather soaked country and its been such a relief to soak up some rays today......
.......hugs to you all and happy crafting....
