Vintage

Late 1800's Lady

I was reading  Tilly Rose Blog and her wonderful article about the age gone by from the elgant 1850's to the swinging 20's and the whole elegance of the eras, in todays world its jeans and t shirts then it was pretty knitted items and hand sewn dresses, what happened when did we stop spending the time on ourselfs? 

I mean look at this lady <<< very elegant, don't you think?  For me the draw is the Romance of the time gone by I LOVE the elegant dresses, the fine   crocheted shawls. the beautifully decorated hats

Early 1800's

So what's stopping us girls putting some elegance back into our days? It could be something as simple as a beautifully hand knitted Lace scarf, or even a gorgeous scrummy capelet like this wonderful lady is wearing

So come on girls lets bring some Vintage into our days! 

Friday Blues

There's a sort of blue mood over the household today, R has had a bad time at work with the guy he works with (i could turn the air blue with words about him!)







Im Hoping this mood will lift soon and we can finally see sunshine and happier times ahead, please send lots of good vibes that we can sort out to move to the house of our dreams! till then Im hiding under my crochet blanket and im not coming out!

well what a busy couple of days I have had, finally managed to get enough energy up to give the garden a good clean! they were so many nettles I have no idea were they came from but they have been chopped, hacked and stamped into submission!

Now its time to tackle what used to be a lawn and is now a dust bath!!

the puppies are a week old now were does the time go, wont be long before they are driving me mad and I will be wishing them gone, but when they do go to new mummies and daddies I always feel sad and the hours very quiet :)

Im not very good at this blogging lark am I

Not that  anyone reads it but I wanted it to be a kind of diary of how my knitting progresses


I joined in one of the knitting swaps on a forum I am a member off, well more of a lurker most of the time! the swap was "Afternoon Tea" so to my swap I sent the following: knitted tea cosy taken from a pattern I found on Rav called rosie posy tea cosy, a white tea pot, 50 afternoon tea bags, a bar of scrummy choc, 2 balls of pure merino and a sheepy mug :) swapee liked it what was a big pphhewwww from me!

Now waiting for my swap to arrive cant wait !
