Well Autumn is finally here and to be totally honest I'm already rather fed up with being cold because my back is really unhappy again so I'm a tad grumpy...
I've been having a bed dilemma too... too cold with just the duvet, with wool blanket too heavy but with fleecy thing I just keep waking up too hot the synthetic nature of the beast...
So I have been on the look out for a colourful crochet solution to my little problem................. and this week I actually managed to not only venture out but found to my delight a beauty and for the very good price of £2.99... so now I am a very happy and cosy little bunny ( well at least in bed I am...)
This Woollen Throw is a real treat for the eyes, who ever made it knew a thing about colour combining too, using a mixture of colours together to achieve this edging...
I love it, can you tell... it brightens my heart every time I see it... and I feel even more inspired to try to learn to crochet some squares myself!
I also won a rather nice pair of Sancho boots on Ebay last week, I say won but no-one else actually bid on them. To my delight not only did they only cost £7.99 but they actually fit me hoorah! Hardly worn!
Now does anyone out there have any idea how I might be able to lesson this mark... no idea what it is but probably oil... I thought maybe tip of an iron and a bit of brown paper?? Has anyone tried that on leather?
I'm not that bothered really but...
Yep that is home made cardboard inners till I find another pair of boot stretchers!
So what has coloured up your weekend??...
Good News update
I am very happy to report that during The Vintage Bazzaar, here in Chichester last weekend, there was a refreshment area again... so tea and cake restored!!
I can highly recommend the Beetroot and choccy Brownies... gluten free and yummy... Hooray!!
A most vibrant pot of paint zipped up my weekend. A bright Violet Figue. For the back wall of my bed. The whole bedroom is getting a makeover. So far this includes hanging old window frames up. I'm looking for an old door for the head board.
ReplyDeleteMust be that time of year again when a comfy bed seems like a must.
Love the boots could do with some for wearing with dresses.
Speak soon Dolly. watch out for those fireworks.

ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteOh what a super duper pair of boots at a bargain price!
If You cant remove the stain, maybe polish them with darker polish to bland everything in and give them a distressed look????
Best wishes
