A bit of treasure

Hello everyone
I haven't been around much lately so I hope I haven't missed too much :)
I am off work at the moment after having an op on my hand, it's so boring not being able to do much, at least I can now type, and I will be back at work next week. I recently saw on Pinterest bunting made from vintage hankies, ha ha I thought, I have some hidden away somewhere, but after taking them out I can't bring myself to either cut them up or stitch tape to them, I sometimes wonder why I buy these things if I'm not going to use them.

I wanted to put the pinterest logo on my blog but can't seem to do it, all help graciously accepted, I do spend too much time on there though. and was more than a little shocked to see some hard core porn being pinned yesterday, not really the place.

I found these lovely cottons a few weeks ago again not sure what to do with them I'm such a horder.

I couldn't resist this tablecloth

Or these old badges any ideas ?
Here's hoping your all enjoying the odd bit of sunshine :)
bye for now Cate x

Garden Flowers

Wordless Wednesday :)

Cake anyone ?

I just had to show you all these lovely little fancies (not sure why they are called that)
 Everywhere you go at the moment there are union flags displayed, all ready for the Olympic Games and of course these would be perfect if your having a street party.

Or just simply a good old fashioned afternoon tea

I wouldn't normally blog about actual brands unless I think they derserve a mention,

                      Thanks Mr Kipling I can look at my cake and eat it yeh it's vegetarian.

 The sun is shining here at last, I thought I was going to grow web feet, I still need wellies for the garden though, DROUGHT WHAT DROUGHT :)

Have a good week wherever you are Cate x

Come for a walk

 I remembered to take my camera yesterday when I took the dog for a walk. I didn't take many but thought you would like to see the wildlife, don't you just love clouds? or am I on my own here?

  I love this tree which means you may have seen it before :)

I waited and waited but didn't see the woodpecker.

 A WEED IS JUST A FLOWER IN THE WRONG PLACE 

 A little wildlife, well what did you expect :) I always think Dandelions are pretty.
                              

Spring has sprung

Not sure how old these ploughs are

The scary wildlife a lovely little newt

Hawthorne blossom
 And back home

 For a nice cup of tea

  I can't believe how cold it is today, the wind off the water felt like ice this morning.
 I am still slogging away at the course work. I think the novelty has worn off now, infact I'm just about to get to work, so here's hoping your all well and happy
 bye for now

A bit of upcycleing

One plain pale blue wool cardigan + one tatty chair back cover with nice lace'

Cut out a few of the flowers, luckily these were easy to detach, fiddle around until your happy and then carefully stitch the on.

 Nothing fancy, but I know theres only one around :)
 what do you think of my first effort ?
It seems ages since I was on here, school has been been busy but I have a day off on Monday and then it's almost the Easter hols, so I.m not complaining.
A couple more brooches to hoard, there doesen't seem to be much around these days.

  I'm looking forward to getting out to the bootfairs, I might even sell some clutter treasure. I really need to recycle some stuff.

 Well thats all for now, I have taken more pics of the baby pigs, they haven't grown too much so they are still cute.
 The weather here is so lovely at the moment it seems to make everyone feel better, and I can put my washing on the line at last :)
wishing you all a lovely weekend
bye for now Cate x
