Pretties....

Hello, thought I would share some of my favorite pretties with you, some left safe and happy in the shop, some that came a home with me :0)

I was very taken with the lovely display of Bombay Duck padded letters, one of my want to do projects.

I was also taken with the Pedlars telephones, I know which one I would have and I think I know which one a blogger friend would have, cough cough Lesley  ;0)

What do you think, do I really NEED any more mugs, hmmmm. Ever so tempting though, norty Pedlar's again.

Ohooo, reckon I could convince Mr. P, I really NEED a baby, it really is so pretty and very shabby chic. for the record, it was left in the shop ;0) 

A little UJ love, gorgeous Hope And Greenwood sweeties. Left behind.

A little fan from Accessorize, to calm me at Master. Poppins appeal, which I now know have friends of mine appealing too for a place in the same class.

I really like my Matalan UJ doormat, but when I saw the lovely muted and natural colours of this £2.99 one, it did come home with me.

I adore the Laura Ashley sale pretties My mum kindly purchased as a little treat, I do so love Laura Ashley at sale time. 

And of course our dining table looks very pretty with a lovely bottle of water, hmmmm alright quite expensive water ;0)

I found some lovely bargain books. A sweet one including some lovely projects for babies and children, my favourite kind of makes. The book was only £2.00.

I always love to look at pretty quilts, and have two of my own on the go, one of which is using the lovely fabric sent from you. 

And again on my to do list.  

I AM going to get on and do my letters, I am.

I also got the lovely Sew and Save book for a fabulous £1.80, was £2.00 but they kindly gave me 10% off as the book looked  a little worn, it didn't if anything looked lovely and vintage :0) 

And a lovely book, that was fabulously reduced to £3.99 from £20.00.

Some wonderful ideas and projects.

With Easter coming up, one does need somewhere pretty to put their little chocolate eggs don't they :0)

And I always like a pretty cupcake.

Ohoooo I adored the sweet, girly, floral, cute, shabby chic quilt and pillowshams.

The quilt was lovely but pricey, though the pillowshams only £7.50 for one, so got two ;0)

In the post I was given a very sweet and special gift from a lovely friend, Elaine. Some adorable vintage handkerchiefs, I especially like the initialed ones, and think I would like to make a lavender heart for a special little someone. Thank you so much Elaine.

And a couple of pretties I have made.

For two very special little girls who live abroad, and whose mummy has been very, very kind to me.

I am being kept busy on the crafting front which is nice, some lovely bunting orders and a couple of personalised cushions. I am looking forward to making the personalised cushions for two special twin baby boys, who, like my very own Master Poppins were born very prematurely and now doing remarkably well, and are very handsome too.

I have been asked by their lovely mummy to make in the fabrics, colours that shall go with their bedroom, sounds very classy, and I look forward to working with some different fabrics colours. Here is a little taste of one of the fabrics I am using. It is a beautiful light grey and feels lovely too.

 

Talking of Master P, there has been a celebration here, some of you may know I was having difficulty letting him out into the big world, what with his prematurity and the loss of our special baby boy Joshua the year before he was born, I was so fretful something would happen to him. Anyway I did it, I let him go to pre school, at 3 years and 7 months he is now out there socialising with children his own age, and yes, you guessed it, he loves it. He shall go for three mornings, 9-1 and maybe I can get on with a couple of those projects I have on my to do list.  I hope you are proud of me, it was hard for me really hard.

Have a lovely weekend
