Lots of nice reading

I just want to say that I'm so grateful for all your comments, they mean such a lot and are so appreciated. Thank you also all for your kind wishes for Hubby - he's on the mend and hoping to be back at work next week!

Yesterday I read Rosie's post at rosiepblog.blogspot.co.uk and noticed that she had bought the very magazine which I'd thought about buying. I couldn't decide between the two and couldn't really justify buying them both so I opted for this new magazine for the summer.



I think it's a very good buy and includes lots of 'good ideas' featuring clothes and fashion, glamorous beauty updates, a brilliant menu planner and some clever touches to stamp your own personality on your home as well as a section on gardening about growing your own food. This is the summer edition and it looks like there will be four a year.


Off to my sister B's today for a lunch and a crafty afternoon and hope make a start on something nice and vintage-y, armed with my stash of material and these lovely books I've had as gifts or bought for myself..


I should find something - shouldn't I?

      Thankyou Marina. I must be honest I have all these books but it's very hard to decide exactly WHAT to make! It's fun browsing though

      I had a lovely afternoon thanks Rowan and we did more nattering than planning a project!

    'Good Ideas' looks like an interesting magazine, Patricia. I'll have to have a peek inside when I see one on the supermarket shelves. Hope you enjoyed your 'crafty' afternoon:)
