Wait a minute Mr Postman!

Look at what I got in the post... Vogue 1950's dress patterns! Been waiting for these beauties for yonks. Can't stop dreaming of the possibilities.





Alas the sewing machine and I are strangers. I have yet to master the dials, buttons and whistles of that marvellous machine. I will have to wait for my sister to teach me the ropes. But aren't the illustrations on the packets just divine!

I should really apologise as I have already broken my promise of keeping up with my blogging. I promise I have a valid reason... that being that I'm in the process of moving to a new place. All of that has kept me busy! As exciting as setting off on your own is, the spending on the essentials and decorating is stressful!!!

On an earlier post I mentioned my mother's crop for this year. She's gather the last of her veg and it these little guys.


I don't know what their real name is but they are sometimes known as "Angry Melon". I don't suppose you know why someone would nickname them that?
