Just popped by to say thank you to my new followers, now up to 49. When I reach the big 50, not me the blog ;-) I'll think of a little give-away. I've made brilliant progress with my March Make, can't show you until April (all will be revealed then) Enjoy the rest of your week. Amanda x

Being British ......

The sun is shining, I had the morning off work and I've been thinking, its the little things that really matter in life J Growing something from seed, making a hand-made gift for a friend, collecting shells by the sea (I love doing that!), eating something yummy like Ben & Jerry’s Fish Food ice cream, walking the dog in the woods, watching the sun rise, strolling around Whitstable and looking in the pretty shop windows, receiving flowers (hint hint  J ) and chocolates (another hint!) the list is endless really. I complained to a company this week about sending me a leaflet and I had to pay the postage + service charge because they didn’t use the correct stamps! Imagine my surprise when they sent me a box today containing a lovely tin of Marks + Spencers biscuits plus a cheque to reimburse me for the postage. How lovely is that? And the added bonus is the tin is so lovely I can use it in my sewing room! I must remember to complain more often ;-) This morning I was invited to

It's been a busy week; work, washing + ironing and trying to fit in some spare time in the evenings for my quilt project. So I'm just quickly popping by to show you my progress this week before I carry on with my normal Saturday chores. I managed to find lots of vintage Laura Ashley fabric on eBay + Vintage Fabric Market  so lots more pieces to cut out; that's the bit that takes me the longest to complete. Have a great weekend.
