LITTLE TREATS

New makes this month have been made with my pending Christmas Fairs in mind. over the  Apart from my usual dresses and bags I've really enjoyed making these headdresses with feathers, sequins and velvet.  My girls loved them and were happy to model them for me.

Another little inspiration are these Lego hair clips, cufflinks and rings, luckily the girls haven't noticed it missing just yet!

On the 21st October Bella turned 10 which was a big milestone for her (double figures) On the actual day she was away as part of a three day residential on Dartmoor, which was very odd for us not to have her with us to celebrate.  

Asked what she'd like to do, she said she would like to go to London.... fine by me I wasn't going to argue with that one, so off to London to meet up with our friends from Brighton and spend the day on the London Eye, having lunch at Ed's Diner in Soho, Covent Garden, a visit to the M&M's shop in Leicester Square (which was one of the worse shops I have ever had the misfortune to enter, then on to Hamley's and finally my friend Jaz and I managed to get a little look around Liberty's purchase a few new Christmas decorations and finish with a few glasses of wine in a bar in Carnaby Street.

 Just a touch of vertigo!
