 Apologies for the lateness but I crashed out last night after a glass of wine and a long week. Anyway the names where quite literally put in a hat this morning all 5 of you and my son pulled out .......

A Thank you Give away!!!

What possible use is Beetroot??

Creepy Crawlies or Beautiful Butterflies

 Firstly an apology for not Blogging for a while but school holidays and allotment commitments blah blah blah ......

Of late I have begun to get interested in creepy crawlies of the beetle and bug kind, and when I say that I mean looking at pictures in books not the real things. The anatomy and colours, shapes etc in particular. I can't explain this new found interest because although I'm not a screamer when something crawls across my foot at the allotment, I am not altogether calm either.

We all love Butterflies though ( except the Cabbage White that destroys my cabbages) I have several tattooed about my person and I really enjoyed doing a bit of free machine stitching for this red Admiral ( in case you didn't recognise)

 But I think that I may be heading more towards the not so cute 6 and 8 legged things that make our skin crawl.

 I found this chap in the Garden yesterday, he was flipping huge almost 3cm long at a guess but he would not stay still to have his photo taken .............

 .............even when I stuck him in a glass.

 So my love of Vintage Fabric and new found interest in creepy crawlies could be an interesting combination.

The Kids and I have also decided to build a Insect hotel in the next few weeks, and have been collecting bits and bobs to make spider beds and bee holes, and a little area at the bottom for the frogs. So keep your eyes peeled for photos and blog on that.

I Love a Good Boot Fair!!

 Donkey Derby Day always means a massive Boot Fair on Saturday and Sunday and so I was up at 7 am to go and browse. Its the first time in ages I haven't had to take the kids and have that ' Can I have this Mum .....and I really want that Mum!!"  I wandered around browsing and rumaging through peoples stuff like a noisy elephant. The main aim today was to find Christmas Presents and cloths for a Pirate Scarecrow!

But my first find made me do a little squeal of joy, fortunately there weren't to many people around to notice, but I found this wonderful Purple M&S bedding in excellent condition and a pink pillow case too! And then to top that off some Fat Quaters for just a pound!

 A wee Ironing bored for my little Poppy and various other bits and bobs to put away for Chrimbo.

 You can't beat a bit of Brucie another present for a family member!!

 And finally I am off to a wedding this afternoon ( I am wearing a facemask as I type) and so I found this Bright Red Necklace to go with my White Dress with Black Polka dots.

I was smoking my Hookah and contemplating Life.
