Ohhhh yesterday I got a lovely surprise, there I was feeling ever so sorry for myself with a very sore throat and the sniffles, when the postie brought me a parcel from my lovely friend Mandy from Daisy Moon blogspot.
Mandy sent me some pieces of blanket in lovely ice cream colours so I can make some brooches and other things from, I have looked in the charity shops for ages but you just can't get blankets so I now have a piece in all the colours.
I also got this gorgeous hand sewn brooch that will go with just about everything in my wardrobe, I love it's blue velvet button in the middle,
and some pretty buttons and tape, the pink blanket has satin ribbon sewn round the edge and I have an idea for making a book out of it
I think I'll have a bath and put clean pj's on and get out my lovely sewing box my sister gave me and get creating this afternoon
it's a lovely "Dewhurst" set for displaying cottons in
it would have sat on the shop counter years ago ....they were the days!!
Love Lucey x

that is an amazing thread box. I love the satin trim on the blanket it reminds me of the ones we had when I was a child,I can still remember the feel of it as I stroked it with my finger and thumb. lucky you. x
I love your cotton reel box. Will look forward to seeing what you make with the blanket. Your little brook is very sweet. I often wear the little mohair brooch you made me. Bettyx
