I have been potting, don't you worry, potting like mad - just not glazing. I'm hoarding, stock piling, delaying, plotting and mostly just being a bit lazy. Luckily I took a photo of my latest cheap thrill before they managed to jump off the shelf in the night (luckily only one broke, one with quite severe denting and one totally fine).
oh my god the sewing machine has seen some recent action. Its not quite a miracle, but I was starting to wonder...
As per usual the project has been deemed completed at the wearable but not entirely finished stage. I started this last winter and wore it overlapping and buttoned on one shoulder but It would open out and flap around and pop buttons off randomly. Hence the zip. The whole thing cost almost nothing to make from a big wool remnant a bargain zip and some scrap vintage goodness left over from making pretty cushions for the lounge.
voila!
Laura Fayer painting. very nice. Sorry, being very very lazy, slap dash post before work - so cannot be sucked into the time vortex- - Of paper and thread did a proper post here, am loving it, and am on the hunt for inspiration and direction, so thanks!
despite the fact that I look decidedly bored, I am in fact quite excited with this bargain, I have never owned a shirt/dress before and in general am quite scared of 'over dressing'... but, some clever flattery from the shop assistant and the 75% discount were unstoppable forces to reckon with.
Ps I am guilty of being a chronic lurker and a lazy blogger. well more like a binge blogger, where for days I will abstain then suddenly can't get enough, chaotically following links photos names shops blogs tutorials editorials anything I can get.... without the grace to leave some thanks, I apologise and promise to be better from now on. I hope this doesn't seem like an introduction to a crazy person. (I make pots and things -slowly- and am still in awe of the mass of talent available for my greedy eyes on the internet. I am not quite crazy)
