Hello,

I was going to remove the "falling snow" from my blog but we've had another light snow fall in the night so I shall leave it there for a while!  



On Saturday we had a ride up to Durham as I love a rummage round the vintage stalls, you never know what you might find lurking in corners, and I don't mean spiders!!


Hanging up was a rail of ladies tweedy jackets so, in near Baltic conditions I stripped off a few layers to try them on and "bingo" one was exactly what I was looking for to "vintage up" a bit.
What do you think, nice eh??



I've got the buttons, ribbons, watches and a few other  bits ready to sew on when it gets back from the dry cleaners and the best bit of all was it only cost.....£20....so I think a bargain was had there!!



On Sunday I knit a couple of pair of "wristees, red ones for a friend and these lovely "spring time" ones  for me, I can whip them up in a couple of hours and they're so warm,  last night I started knitting the scarf to match.


Talking of last night did anyone see "Mrs Brown's Boys??  
The funniest thing ever,
Monday night's just won't be the same!!

I love your wristies. Tweedy jackets are a real classic - you can't go wrong - what a bargain - hope you will show when you have it all dressed up. Betty x p.s. I'm doing a swap if you're in the mood.

Gorgeous wrist warmers - they'd take me a month of Sundays to produce just one!!

Mrs Brown was brilliant last night - I laughed so much - what will we do next week?

I love the wristees too! Did you follow a pattern or did you make it up yourself?
