A few things occurred lately. They are not of great significance but then, thats quite how I like things to be to be honest! Firstly, I knitted a snood/scarf/neckwarmer type thing. I'm quite chuffed with it as it really is warm and very very soft. It's 90% alpaca and 10% cotton (I think). I was so chuffed that I made my own label (with the dreams that one day I will start a knitwear company - don't laugh). I used a fabric ink pad and rubber stamps.

Another pleasant thing happened when I purchased this lovely dress from the very talented Isabel Knowles. I have been lusting after her dresses for a long time, so I'm so pleased to finally own one.

It's so beautifully made.

and this is the same dress inside out, as I wanted to show you the amazing lining.

...and this little cub has a dress which I found the other day in a vintage shop. It is actually from Boots, circa 1980 (made in Britain). In fact I have been collecting quite a little collection of 70s/80s clothes for the littley as they are such amazing colours and cuts from that era for kids. So much more imaginative that what shops stock today. I mean black floral fabric for a 12-18 month old? Bring back 70s fashion I say!

So this is my Mister's shed.

My shed is 6ft x 4ft and his shed 8ft x 4ft, so it's a bit longer and a bit taller too.

His is a brand new shed...

he makes some jewellery and leather things, and pretty much anything really.

he is really into old tools and things to do with vintage cars.

...and boxes.

He made a small desk under the window which folds down when not needed, and he has a separate jewellery bench for more grubby jobs.

Our kiddo likes to run down to his shed and knock on the door, and then take all the labels out of the drawers.

ahhh shedded bliss
