GOOD DAYS & GOOD NEWS

We saw in the longest day of the year with a barbecue on the beach in glorious sunshine. 

This weeks makes have included these Denis The Menace and Gnasher pinafore dresses 

and these Minion fabric dresses. Mabel and I went to see the film this week, she loved it, and I fell asleep, but that's more to do with me than the film.

still making my lavender bags this time using some vintage fabric 

and some fruity apples and strawberries 

also selling well, some Orla Kiely canvas fabric totes. 

breast cancer update.

Well, this week has been a milestone. I had another MRI to see how the chemo had worked and was given the news that I had had a 100% response rate to the treatment and there was no sign of the cancer. So happy and relieved! The side effects continue albeit new ones, including numb and tinkling sensation in my fingers and toes, aching leg muscles, and weird finger nails, which I presume are going to fall off at some stage.

So the next stage is my mastectomy and reconstruction, now scheduled for 24th July, it unfortunately comes just as the girls break up for Summer holidays, but as with all of this, you don't choose! 

2016 - THE BEGINNING

It's been quite a while since my last post, and Christmas has been and gone, and business has reopened and got off to an amazing start. I'm not going to back track on our Christmas festivities, but just want to say what a lovely Christmas it was, with a good mix of family, friends, dinners and parties. No New Years resolutions to live by and no dry January to adhere to. Really looking forward to 2016 and all it has to bring. 

The first upcycled fabric dresses of this year have been very popular. Starting with Star Wars 

Snoopy 

Mabel's back on the modelling, with her fees now gone up to £1 a dress!

Upcycled dinosaur fabric pinafores

Minions 

Although this is definitely not my favourite time of the year, (cold ,wet and grey) I have managed to capture some varying weather.

Extreme waves on the beach which turned the skate park into a swimming pool.

On a walk to school across the bridge, this lucky double rainbow was on one side of us and a silouhete view of the river as the sun tries to come out from behind the clouds on the other.
