ast week for my birthday I received the most beautiful present through the post from Di my soldering chum....she knows how much I love Becassine and she managed to find this amazing edition dated 1919! to think that this book has survived 2 world wars and many children is wonderful.....Becassine chez les Turcs!
ighty busy this past week with the day job has left this blog looking a bit deserted!
indly Di, soldering expert extraordinaire has made the marathon journey down from Manchester to show me how to solder her amazing dobbers! Yippee! I was planning to tie her to my kitchen table but she willingly sat down all day and soldered and fluxed and polished without a moan...and look what we made!
ery much looking forward to the soldathon that will take place this weekend! Di Foster's beautiful dobbers can never be recreated but I have a vision of what some of my family'd old photos could look like trapped forever behind glass....
our more bracelets to put into the etsy shop...getting quicker which is great as they take ages to make and the domestics are really getting in the way at the moment! I'm very pleased with the liberty fabric one as it looks different from anything I've seen before....but there again that could be because its just odd!!!
nother spoonflower attempt, scanned nature objects is the competition this week. I have scanned in all the late produce from my very neglected garden and tried to assemble the foliage into a traditional style flower arrangement....not perfect but it will have to do otherwise I shall miss the deadline!
ave been busy making more bracelets for the etsy shop, and here they are.... I'm very pleased with the little velvet acorns and have been slicing into the liberty fabric stash to make more of the fabric bangles....
