label love

I heart sticky labels at the moment. How much greater is this little blanket, just cos of the little sticky label that was on it - "crocheted by a 90 year old lady"

And I nearly missed buying this ugly little box until I noticed the label - "full of buttons"

Full.

Of.

Buttons.

One of my greatest thrills in life is riffling through an old button box (I'm sure you blog ladies understand!)

What i like even more than the pretty buttons are the random little 'treasures' that inevitably seem to find their way into button boxes. I am quite sure I must have been a magpie in a former life...

Bedspiration

My latest mission is to re-vamp by bedding, as I seem to have 'acquired' random douvet covers over the years rather than picking out things I love, and I am sick of the sight of a couple of my patterned sets

Presenting my new bedspiration -



Just at all those deliciously mismatched dots and stripes...


And having been ispired by some of you clever crafty blog ladies, guess what I did last night?




Ta da! My very first knitted square... I am rather ambitiously planning a knitted square double bed sized blanket as my first ever knitting project. So far so good - only a million more to go!
