This one's not for you, Goldilocks......

Got a sweet little (doll - or teddy - sized) chair yesterday -


And a pretty embroidered cloth too - I often get asked for long ones, but don't see them so much -

***************
Beautiful sun this morning - lovely shadows in the sitting room -



Even sat outside for a while (been dying to do this since the building work was done!) -


Yes! - it was worth all that (building work) disruption! -



*******************
And finally finished a dress I started last year!!  Meant to look a bit White Stuff...?...... ;)



*****************
Bought a lovely indoor jasmine this morning - come on buds, open! -

    I'm quite interested in making my own clothes, maybe I'll give it a go.

    Good for you on the dressmaking - I wouldn't even like to attempt anything like that - I'm bound to go wrong!
    The smell of indoor jasmine's are glorious.

    Such lovely shadowy pictures - they remind me of lazing in the sun on a Summers day.

    take care

    Hi, Just popped by to say thank you for your comment and was very impressed with your dress. Just my kind of thing and sleeveless too!! Did you use a pattern? If so is it still available, as I have real pattern envy here! (Love your choice of fabric/colour too)

    Hi, Jenny - it was a New Look pattern - 6674. Not sure if they still do it - I bought it before we moved here and we've been here about 16 months. Abby x

    What a lovely collection of photos. Love the little chair and the indoor jasmine will smell beautiful. How clever to be able to make your own clothes, your dress is very pretty. Your new extension looks as wonderful from the outside as it does the inside - we have frost again this morning so no sitting outside today:)

    Hi, Jenny, yes it's boarded - lots of insulation between the boards and the (pre-existing) brick and (new) breeze-block walls. Abby
