Tuesday, March 27, 2018. Oday I happened upon this photo as I was perusing Pinterest . I nearly squealed out loud! I just happen to have the sewing pattern. For this Ceil Chapman design, as well as my very own version of the dress. So her gown is probably made of rayon satin, or perhaps an acetate? I love having the chance to see how the designer originally envisioned the piece.

Titbits from the keyboard of a lover of life. 5 March, 2018 by michelenel. So we have a son who has moved back to a country where his great great grandmother is from. How wonderful to have photos of the family from the 1800s to look back on and remember our past.

Well all the hard work has paid off. I picked my first beetroot today and have lettuce coming out of my ears. I think I had better plant half the amount of lettuce next year! Sorry for the long delay. No excuse really just lazy. More to come soon with photos. Now to plan where everything will go. I planted plum and cherry tomatoes, beetroot, red onion.

Me, Susan, Nele and Eleanor with our golden ticket! I was lucky enough to receive 2 Golden VIP tickets to Abakhan. S Secret Sale last Saturday, the 18th July at their Mostyn branch and was able to take 3 of my friends from Liverpool Sewing Club. We had a great day, buying lots of bargains in the secret sale, shopping in the rest of the large Abakhan store, sitting in the sun eating, drinking and having a great day all round. Gotta have a proper rummage! .
