Reasons to be cheerful...

...one, two, three. We've been having such a stressful time trying to sell/buy/move house and everything has seemed very dreary and dark at times. So I'm coming over all Pollyanna-ish and trying to count my blessings - it will all turn out for the best.

Adventures in thrifting

I'm not supposed to be buying any more fabric until I've used up some of my stash, but I couldn't resist this lovely floral sheet from the Children's Hospice charity shop. It wa only £1.99, so it barely counts. It's such super-soft cotton that I think it would make great bedding for B when she's a bit bigger, or maybe even some summer clothes!

Vintage baby clothes

I've recently been inundated with lovely vintage baby clothes for lucky B. the first batch came from my sister, who has a bit of a fab collection. It looks like B is mostly going to be rocking red gingham this summer! The second batch was in a lovely surprise parcel from France sent by my friend Emma who had been helping her mother-in-law have a clear-out. Sadly I think some of the things in the parcel, especially this beautiful little white top, would be more suited to petite delicate French babies rather than my sturdy little English girl, but I'm just enjoying looking at them and think I might be able to replicate a couple of them using some of my fabric stash.

Photo-a-day February

Another month of the photo-a-day project completed. I'm settling into my visual groove now, it seems that I lean towards lots of close ups that I can then edit into something I'm happy with. I think I actually enjoy the editing process more that the actual photography part, to be honest, and am bereft that Picnik is closing down in April. Will have to find myself a new editing programme quick smart.
