Gift for me!

Beloved has been away for a month and returned a few days ago. He was (wisely) bearing gifts,these 4 miniature daisy fragrances. Such gorgeous packaging and I really love the clean simple notes. They are really similar but I think the blue (Up in the air) is my favourite. So pleased to have him home.

Sew I finally did...

Yes, i finally did get my sewing machine which explains in large part why I haven't posted for so long. I simply love it. I have fixed just about everything in my wardrobe and my home that needed fixing and have made some tote bags and some gift bags (those little organza numbers). Anyway, this is the type I got, it is an Elna as my Mom swears by them.

Today I bought a pattern (vintage, of course) for a very simple tank dress. One day when I am feeling brave, I will attempt it. For now, I will continue with straight seams only!
