I've been busy these past few days! Off to Becnicks tomorrow for a break ;)

I am Sew going to Do this!

See Vintage Doily Lampshade and 1000's of others - or share your own on Cut Out + Keep

I've been wondering what to do with my beautiful rescued lamp with it's horrible old lampshade! My friend Faith and I just scored a mother-load of vintage doilies the other day on our Thrift Store adventure! I need a few to finish patching my sofa...but then project lampshade will be underway!

Button Bag

This baby is PINK & PROUD OF IT!

vintage buttons & cuuuute apple fabric lining and strap

button bunny tail :)

A custom order, this bag took me ages (two months) to knit! I started to sort of hate it I have to admit, but all was forgiven when I got to sew the buttons on! I can NOT get enough of vintage buttons! I was delighted with the apple fabric too! It's a nice heavy cotton canvas.
I said I'd never make this bag again, but now looking back at the photos I might just give it another go. I do like it, especially the moss stitches on the bottom :)
Maybe I'll just do a tiny one for a little purse. That won't take nearly as long right?! But I must finish Baby George's blanket first!
I'm just about to get showered, put on twin peaks and get knitting! *Knit 3, Purl 3*....

Off I go!

blog trawlin....

It's a sleepy, rainy Sunday night. I should probably just lay my head down and get some snoozes....but....I can't help myself! There are so many wonderful blogs chock full of beautiful!
