A Beautiful Day!

Today has been sooooo gorgeous! The sun's been shining all day and it's been hot, hot, HOT! Spent most of the day in the garden and the sunshine inspired me to make some pretty dragonfly suncatchers. They're easy - all you need is a few sheets of coloured cellophane paper, some beads and some craft wire. I left them on the washing line all afternoon but now they're hanging in my bedroom window.







On Tuesday I spent a couple of hours with Diane and Karen, we went around the charity shops. I was looking for some bits of cheap jewellery to use on my altered book. I found a couple of pieces but I like them so much I'll probably keep them to wear, lol! I also found what I thought was a cushion cover, but on closer inspection I think it's a pyjama case. Doesn't matter though, I'm using it as a cushion cover anyway, it looks lovely with the other two that I have on the bed, and it only cost 75p - bargain! Oh, I got a pretty little hook thingy too, with a picture of a clock, it was only £1 and it looks kind of shabby chic.. I have an idea of what I'm going to do with it and I'll post a pic once it's done.

Here's the jewellery and the hook







I was pleased with my bargains but I still need some bits for my altered book cover so I'll jusy have to keep looking - I don't mind because looking around charity shops is one of my favourite things :o)

I had to go over to Tenby yesterday so I baked a batch of oatmeal cookies for Diane and made an old fashioned brown paper bag out of some parcel paper and tied it with some raffia. Simple, but it looked really good, kinda rustic :o)

Tonight I made a lemon drizzle cake for tea and over half of it's gone already, lol - nothing lasts long in this house!
