Houston we have a problem......

You may have noticed that I have not blogged on here for a while.  The reason being that my son reorganised my computer and I couldn't find my photos.  Well the good news is that I can now find my photos.  The bad news is....... I am out of storage space on blogger here and cannot upload any more photos...... I will have to find an alternative site.... watch this space!

Something soft and squidgy and an out of focus necklace

Netting necklace - doesn't lie as flat around the neck as it could do....

....but here's a close up and it looks very lovely!

Bought this tray in a charity shop - not my normal 1960s collecting stuff; but that is mainly because it is 1970s - I think there is a matching chopping board at my parents' house.

A little wardrobe card I made to remind me of how I made one for a friend in April, but I think it's a bit different
