JaM........A Touch of Frippery !

JaM...Taking a moment to share what's been happening in your week.............................


Come Boxing day we have our first guests arriving for the summer holidays to stay at our cottages, so the past week has been spent making sure all is perfect inside and out, gardens looking their best and tanks full of water.

Shopping, gift wrapping, xmas drinks with friends and some time set aside for a bit of FRIPPERY

What FUN I've been having making a few small gifts for friends and then I had a light bulb moment !!         
                                                                                

A little bit of frippery adds just the right touch to my daughter's Xmas Pressy !!

I've been hunting out all sorts of left over materials for different effects...............

Felt from last years project (slippers) has made great little pin cushions, this ones for me !!

                                                                              


Spreading a little frippery with JODY and Jam .........


Happy Christmas to All...............XXX

JaM........

JaM...................Taking just a moment to share what's been happening in your week.....

Blogger sent me the message many have received " too many photos" so its taken me a while to work it all out, delete some and now I can post again......

Ok so I've been looking in my cupboards for something bright, funky, comfortable, flattering and I keep finding the same old T'shirts, shirts, 3/4 jeans, capri pants......and other yucky stuff...............

Mmmm don't seem to have any style, I probably never have and to make it worse my hair is driving me crazy...............erk having one of those moments !!!!!!

 While in the Big Smoke recently I picked up this great book ( a few others too) to wrap up for myself to open on Xmas Day.

Well I never got it wrapped and now cleaning out my cupboards in an attempt to create some stylish clothes for myself............ Thanks for the kick up the ......gentle reminder with each great post you do
JODY I really do have to make some time to just get STARTED.

Now this project looks kind of simple, I think I've got some long sleave tops to cut up..........


Mmmm my pile of clothes, at this point I will add that at end of last summer I threw most of them away........................


 Not a whole lot to work with, 3 pairs jeans, 1 black capri pant, 2 linen skirts (from my trip to Italy last year)   4 shirts, 4 white t shirts, 2 black, new orange cardi,  err feeling a little depressed now................well at least I fit into them sort of ok........

Wish me lots of luck or pray for me !!!!

Forget the Xmas shopping....
 Spotlight here I come.................
