There was a Queen called ‘Lizbeth’ the Second On the throne 60 years this very weekend Street celebrations and much jubilation! Or due to the rain, inside we did stay with bunting mightily dampened. Well, I thought that I couldn’t possibly do worse than the little limerick I posted with my final MMM’12… Continue reading Reign-y day
It was the week that I went from fleeces and open fires to sleepless nights and the Summer-weight duvet. We seemed to have skipped Spring entirely this year which is a shame because it’s my favourite season. Oi, enough with weather already. What did this all mean for MMM’12? It has meant I wore my… Continue reading Two skirts are beating together, I’m in love yeah! Or MMM’12 Week 4

I hate to moan about meteorology in that way we British… Continue reading A tale of two scarves – MMM’12 – Week 1
Idea for scraps of fabric Number Two: Tubular Belles (Even worse? I certainly thought so!) Necessity being the mother of invention I thought that perhaps it might be wise to have some me-made jewellery to help me through MMM12. In Southern England it has after all been the wettest April in over 100 years, my… Continue reading tubes and strips – part two
Hot on the heels of making it through my first Sewalong (the soo exiting and rewarding Pyjama Party, yay!), I’m going to attempt Me-Made-May ’12 organised by ‘So, Zo..’. I’ve never tried to wear me-made items for a whole month, I don’t have an enormous wardrobe of self-created clothes and accessories from which to choose… Continue reading Me-Made-May ’12
