Owl Cushion

So I thought in view of the fact that Fox Craft and Food Fair is coming up on the 10th December I need to go full steam ahead and have a go at making some cushions.... of the owlly kind!! .... the owl cushions are just a thought.... actually Liisa suggested it so I thought this morning that I would have a go...kind of make up the design....

Booboo helped me choose the material..... the blue one is the first one that I made so I thought I would make a couple more green and orange maybe reds and pinks will be added to add some other alternatives...... gawd knows if anyone will actally buy them though!! Fingers crossed....twit a woooo!!!

HAPPY 1 year anniversary of the experiment started to document my vintage wardrobe....!! A different vintage 'main' garment or accessory every day until I have worn everything! Well I am still going!! But slowly slowing down.... now it is coming to Winter and I have a lot of Summery things that I didn't wear when I was poorly in August... I guess I will have to be wearing them somehow... maybe just to document them but not go out ... a little strapless number in November December well it would be a little chilly even with one of my favourite cowichans (vintage thick woolen cardigans) don't you think????

So I totally forgot it was the special day so didn't actually wear anything super duper to celebrate!!!! But never mind!!.......


A little visit to the Heritage Antique centre in Berkhamstead! I was very good and didn't buy ANYTHING!! NOW that is a first! So she had a little visit out this little 60s lady!! Interesting print and colours!
