TINY THINGS

I love tiny things.

I love Re-ment in particular.

Yes, those are tiny pins, tiny thread reels, tiny thread snippers, three different coloured tiny tailor's chalks, a tiny tape measure and tiny scissors which open and close!

It's no surprise, therefore, that I was delighted to find John Lewis' range of tiny (well, small-ish) things for people who like sewing. They also had boxes of pins (all kinds, including safety), tape measures, thimbles and so forth.

The stork scissors are bloody lovely and very sharp, right to the tips.

Mmm, retro packaging. I'm amazed I only purchased three!

It's raining me... no. Wait. Rain.

Definitely raining rain here, with a possibility of some of the white stuff overnight and tomorrow.

Happily, we've got an umbrella to take care of the drips, and a pretty new duck egg blue striped dress to hang around looking glam in.

No, she's not going outside at this time of night!

Unfortunately, instead of spending my weekend cosily holed up and sewing/carving/glittering things, I'm going to be getting up at sparrow's fart and spending the weekend on a resuscitation course learning once again how to emphatically state that I'm activating this defibrillator now and everyone had better get out of the flipping way. I shall not be taking the Makies. 

Have a good one, everyone. See you next week!

Sewing Day

Looks like Lex has finally decided to get going on that skirt and jacket set she was talking about.

Measure three times, cut... erm... carefully?

Happily Aspen is good with a sewing machine... Plum's talents tend more towards making the tea.

Er... Lex? Where's the fabric? 

Plink's trying a bit of cross stitch.

Very ladylike there, Plink. 

And Melchie... oh dear.

Still, the stitching is neat.

Well. At least it's a finished product.

Tiny things

Tiny buttons, tiny shoes...
