The last catch up at The Old Vicarage was pleasant (to be English :) Jod catered and with an offer of relish how could I refuse! Especially when an extra jar made its way into the pantry ... I shall be clocking up some miles to Qld when back in the Sunny Country to get my fix! Some amazing Red Velvet cupcakes also kept up our energy levels as we worked away.
Dale came ready to learn and set herself up to pick up some crochet skills which Jod was happy to impart. Jod continued to work on the neverending scarf! And I had a go at a tutorial I'd seen on A Beautiful Mess (http://abeautifulmess.typepad.com/my_weblog/) although I had a slight fail with a small matter of using a permanent marker instead of a soluble one and might have had my elbow patches end up as forearm patches! It's all a wonderful learning curve :) Leah and Nicole worked on some verbal creative skills! And Katy worked on repurposing a garment.
Speaking of which, I managed to make a quick trip to Chiswick Car Boot Sale before the girls came around. Thankfully it is the only time I have managed to get there as you can see from my haul it was more than a little tempting!

The jacket was bought from the woman who owned it who claimed she had many happy memories in it! The tea set is just so pretty with a cup that Dan said he wouldn't mind drinking out of (compared to the other tea cups I have bought anyway!) and I just can't walked past coloured glass. I can see the yellow and white material as a scoop neck, sleeveless, baby doll dress and am now pattern hunting! Not quite sure what to do with the other piece of material but for £1 I will figure out something! I will also have to find a project for a delightful set of flower vintage buttons.
Next catch up is at Leah's on Sunday. We will be making Christmas stockings! All materials provided so just put your creative hat on!
Trying not to tear up at the thought of this weekend. Too many last's are happening!
