April 2016

Yep another month as gone.

Lots of making this month, 2 vintage pot holders, lace socks, Land Girl for my Etsy shop, green bow scarf & started my second Victory jumper in a summer colour way.

I aso brought a new cardigan, celebrated the Queen's 90th birthday, saw Mike Peters & drooled over the knitwear in Home Fires.

I enjoyed a few days at home with the cats & tried very hard to eat healthy, since I was told by the hospital I have to lose over 5 stone before they will operate on my Gallstones :-( 

It's not going to happen so I guess I'll have to live with the pain but I'm very aware I've put on over a stone in a year so it doesn't hurt to try to lose that. I'm 1/2 way through my 'Saints' food box from a local lady, all Slimming World friendly & very tasty.

Wish me luck!

Great TV!

Okay so hands up who's been watching The Great British Sewing Bee?

Wasn't it great?? 

I'm so pleased to learn they're making a 2nd series. It's really made me want to dust off my sewing machine & finally make the item of clothing that I've been meaning to do for years!

I've enjoyed talking to customer about it too...... it seems everyone is watching!

We've been selling more fabrics of late to young & old, which can only be a good thing.

Anyone brought the book yet? 

What about this?

The Village

I thought the first episode was slow, I did enjoy it but it just gets better & better!!

It's really tugging on my heart string & I find myself fighting back the tears....... I don't normally cry at TV programmes!

Not sure why this is but the acting is fantastic!

I knew it was going to be good when I saw Maxine Peak was in it but John Simms as well???

Little Bert is such a lovely boy, your heart goes out to him.

I haven't watched last night, Joe comes back from the front with shell shock so I best get the hankies out!

What's your thoughts?

Well done to the BBC!
