My how time flies....

Wow where has the last month gone??!!


I have been neglecting the blog, but have been busy enjoying the summer... I have done so many things that I have meant to blog about so I will try to catch up...


So for anyone Oxfordhsire way in the UK go check out Nelsons diner http://www.nelsonsdiner.co.uk/


Its a lovely 50s style diner, great for a bit of nostalgic fun!


Speaking of nostalgia... here I am dancing with my Grandad. I lost him this year. He was a great man and a great dancer!! :)

 One thing I did manage to do this summer was make a dress out of the nautical fabric I showed you earlier. Sorry for terible picture its off my phone and light was bad.
Nautical but nice.... this was from a Buttericks 52 pattern. I'm going to knock it up in black next, as sadly I have now unpacked my winter wardrobe, all the pretty florals are safely tucked away till next year! :(

A sorry, some sardines and some toast...

I am sorry I haven't been around much lately, I have been a bit overwhelmed with everything in life and have been very much focusing on plodding on through.

Good news is I have sorted out some stressful elements of life  and am focusing on enjoying the summer.

So after enjoying some sardines on toast I thought it was about time I did a little blogging... I have missed you blogosphere!


I have been very busy planting up the garden and the allotment....


Goodies nearly ready to plant out...
Here's the fabric of the dress i am currently making. Its nearly finished so you will get to see the completed projected shortly!

I hope your all well and I look forward to lots more posts and to catch up on all my favourite blogs out there!

Ta ta for now!
