Something strange has occured, and my house is all quiet, at half past eight. Baby, boy and fella are all fast asleep, which is really quite nice. I have been having a lovely time making some doll dresses from one of my all time favorite fabrics, this beautiful liberty print babycord...
It came from a lovely treasure trove of a fabric shop, the fent shop, which lives just down the hill from me and which I just can't stay away from. I'm just getting to the end of my stock of this fabric, and they haven't any left either boo hoo.
Had a bit of a thrill today meeting the domestic goddess herself, and getting my well thumbed copy of Feast signed. I became pitifully starstruck and as you can see here, a bit pink and giddy...
While I was there I spotted a few books that I crave. I know they say don't judge a book by it's cover, but I just can't help it, you know what I mean:
So pretty!
So tomorrow I am on a mission to find the perfect pumpkin, and are venturing to the potting shed. Looking at their website, I think we might be on to a winner! I'll keep you posted x

Hello, just stumbled on your blog while i was browsing and thought i would say hello. Im new to bloging and crafting generally so i aspire to have an etsy store when i get my ideas together and make more than one thing at a time. Really like your dolls though - very cute.
I always judge a book by it's cover, well i's the cover that makes me check out if I want to read it or not. Wecome to the wonderful world of blogging.

Lovely photograph of you and the DG, love her books they just make me want to cook.
yoo-hoo, me again!!! I didn't even notice the fabric when I was admiring the lovely Nigella - blimey!!!! Now, there are 2 things that are my most favourite in all the world (yes, above my children and husband as well!) - 1. Liberty 2. Needlecord (am I dropping hints about dolls and dresses? Too bloomin' right I am!)
I'll leave you in peace ;)
Hi, I too am quite new to blogging, I love to craft as well, love Nigella....named my camper van after her, coz my camper is a posh one!
I picked up a couple of those books yesterday funnily enough, it was the caravans cover that caought my eye, covers are important and image can grab our attention.
