I thought I'd share with you my first attempt at applique and cushion making...
Made from a piece of reclaimed flowery sheet, a piece of dyed sheeting and an old coarse linen dress.
If anyone out there has any of this or similar flowery sheet for sale or swopping do let me know.
I also made the inner pad for this and the cover below out of an old feather pillow that I've recently replaced so I'm rather pleased with my thriftiness ..
I found this beautifully embroidered cover recently... with flowers, a butterfly, two mice and a snail... So sweet...
I just love it!
And these rather fab shoes on ebay... never been worn...
I know they're not old but I'm very pleased with them at £15, they look great with bright thick tights...
I had to get my hide hammer out and give the leather a good bashing to soften them but now I'm very happy.
I've been having some problems with reaching my photo limit on picasa and a new computer... not got my head around how to proceed yet... but thanks to a fellow blogger I can now press a few buttons on my camera before I take new images so they are smaller for here... but I'm still not sure what to do for all those already taken but not yet used!
I must say that the images above took seconds to appear rather than yonks that was the norm... mind you my last computer was from the 90's so that probably has something to do with it too!
BUT anyway....
Now for the winner of my little giveaway....
the winner of the Granny Chic Book is....... No 1

I threw a little old dice and you are the winner...
