We got up this morning with every intention of going out somewhere despite the weather forecast. The 1940s event at Woodhall Spa was a possibility, as was a mooch around some of the antique shops at Horncastle. We are still looking for chests of drawers for our bedroom. I found out about the 1940s event from
Julee Gray at paid in chickens. In the end we had a stroll to our village car boot sale at the village hall. We then got on with some general cleaning jobs and then I had a couple of pleasant hours blitzing my craft room. It now looks presentable again.
I also managed to tick a couple of items off the TO DO LIST...
Christmas throw for Lily and Daisy.
Towels for Wilbur. Not a bad start.
I then embellished the shoe trees in preparation for my beautiful daughters wedding shoes. I was rather impressed at the end result and indeed in how easy and quickly they were to do. The idea came from the book Romantic Keepsakes by Lucinda Ganderton, a book that I have used before on other projects and has some beautiful photos by Debbie Patterson. The book is a feast for your eyes.
I am delighted with the end result, I am sure my daughter will be too. Another addition to the wedding, a tiny detail but one that will make it a perfect day. It also turned out not to be a rainy Saturday after all.
See you soon.
