The tale of A Little High Waist Skirt

Once upon a time a little girl wanted a floral high waist skirt form one of those yukky chain store.
Luckily she had a very clever mum who never threw anything out.
That clever mum was able to hunt through her patterns from when she was a girl (1986 see pattern below) & her fabric stash to find just the right ditsy floral print for the perfect skirt.
So they sat together and created a most magnificent skirt that cost nothing but time & love.
Now that little girls wears that skirt when ever she can.( And when that little girl is being a right pain her mum can sit and smile remembering the time they made a skirt).

Studio

Finally some pics of my studio, this has been an on going project that was started last May, when I was away in Thailand. It was supposed to be finished before I got back, well it wasn't and has taken us a lot longer to get it together than we thought, it's still not quite finished but it's now workable & I'm happy to share some pics with you.

Books I love #1

Hi Everyone,
Today I'm posting about a book I love well it's a series of books but don't let that scare you.
They are by the Undead series by the amazing MaryJanice Davidson. Yes they are about vampires and other such creatures of the night but don't let that put you off they are fun and a truly easy read. The author pulls no punches about this she is quite happy to tell you that her books are not litirture and they are chicks books but in saying that my hubby loved them.
The main character Besty is sensational and you can totally relate to how she feels about the whole situation and she has such a smart mouth. Her friends are like friends we all have. And she loves shoes that alone should make you want to read these books. Plus I love the cover art.
