Eastery stock

It was a slow walk to Custard Hall this morning to drop off a couple of furry friends. How many old toys does a girl need? Anyway they're there for now and sporting new velvet ribbons...

Meet Lamb

 and Bunny.

Poor Bunny was ear and eyeless when I got her in a box of old toys. Finally I've got round to fixing her up with old Laura Ashley fabric ears backed in wool and some fresh eyes so she can see how lovely she looks. I wonder how I knew she was a rabbit?

 

The spring fabrics have been out in abundance this week.

I've been making some spring stock for my shelves. I know I said no more cushions but then I sold some more so really I'm just topping up.
I love these mischievous ducklings.

 

This is a different fabric I'd not seen before. I bought it from Donna at Trull a few weeks ago.

This cute pink one is backed in a vintage wool blanket.

 The ever popular yellow farm animals fabric. I've lost track of how much I've made from this. I had metres of it all unused but now it's running low... 

Find them on my etsy shelves or at Custard Hall.

 Tagged and ready to go...

 



Holiday pottering

 Today it's just been me and the little jammers. First day of the holiday, I thought. Where shall I take them? But no, they had their own ideas...

Ideas of the 'I shall probably be bossy teacher like mum when I grow up' variety.

 Do you like the way she's typed it because I banned from the computer for a couple of days?!

 Littlest Jammer got into tearing paper... without any help thank you very much.

 She's on a roll after winning the school Easter colouring competition yesterday!

There's a crafty and creative winner behind that prize!

 How much fun can one little jammer have with some packaging?

So I got decorating before it's all over.

Love these vintage flocked creatures.

 The hare that guards the golden egg!

 Finally the fridge has sprung back to life courtesy of some yellow stuff snaffled from the garden of a derelict bungalow next to my dad's!

Perhaps we'll go out tomorrow...

Hectic and Eldest Jammer are just warming up for Earth Hour. Lights out in 20 minutes.



Has it finally sprung?

Yesterday Little Jam took Emily Button on a 'Spring Outing'. Emily had enjoyed her trip in Tintin so much she wondered where else he'd take her. Somewhere to dance in the bandstand maybe?

 Sherborne!

 No coincidence that there was a vintage bazaar on too but bizarre was more the term to describe it! "When did laptops and Dysons become vintage?.." Emily pondered on the bridge.

 The little jammers were delighted to see the pond in the park jelly-jam-packed full of frogspawn. Not a plant in sight mind you so I guess there'll be a lot of cannibalism going on!

With the sun on our backs we enjoyed more springiness...

Emily was pleased to take a seat, of a peculiar kind, at the Town Mill Bakery.

Always easily bribed by a cake.

or three!

Don't know where she gets it from?

Truly her mother's daughter.

Rubbishy photo of the bakery just to lead you to this...

Jim Johnson's HDR photos of Sherborne shops

They are currently displayed in their respective shop windows.

The jammers favourite shop where a new jigsaw was purchased.

 And a new one for me.

 Butterfly Bright is run by a woman after my own heart. She keeps her buttons in colour coordinated jars, well who wouldn't!

 Only a mini purchase for me but I shall be back when I'm running low on ribbons.

Take a look at their website for workshops.

At home someone else was enjoying the sun.

And finally on the fridge this week...

Have a lovely week. A busy one here with late nights at work, an MOT and a two day course! Promise to catch up with your blogs by the end of it all - it'll be some light relief!
