I thought I'd give you a quick update on what I've been doing. After being inspired by all the pretty hearts I've seen on blogs lately I thought I'd have a go myself. Here are the results - my first hearts! I used a pretty little piece of vintage fabric I bought on Sunday at the antiques market on the fronts and on the back of one is a small pink/white gingham and on the other a small gold/red provencal print. I've attached the ribbon for hanging and sewn a little felt heart with a button in the middle on top. I have to say I'm pretty pleased with the result.
These are the squares I've crocheted so far towards a little blanket for Holly's bed, I'm quite pleased with these too as I haven't crocheted for years. I've even tried to crochet some little flowers after seeing them on Hen at Henhouse When I finish it I will let you know!
Well I'm off now, I have a mountain of ironing which I've been looking at all week, you can tell how much I enjoy doing it can't you?
Hope you like my hearts. Take care and have a good weekend.

hello! i tried etsy but i got a bit intimadated by the size of the site!!saying that...there are alot of tips and helpful advice througout the whole site. i think its a bit difficult to figur out the shipping costs because it has to be in dollars...aprt from that its ace!!!

Glad it's not just me who hadn't heard of thrifting before. My friends round here don't do that type of thing, in fact I don't tend to even tell that I go to boot sales and stuff as they probably wouldn't really get it.
Re the Eqyptian dance thing, Mum has been doing Arabic dance since 1991 (basically the more highbrow version of belly dancing - we aren't allowed to call it that as it sounds v tacky and they don't know the moves properly!) and now teaches too sometimes. She's done a couple of shows that have gone well and ran a group for a while. She enjoys it, but I've never been into it, though I have really liked her shows, she's very good.
Hope you've had a nice weekend :)

Well I love your hearts but I don't like ironing unless it is fabric to sew .

Hi,
The hearts are cute, it must be great to get those lovely French fabrics. Look forward to see the crocheted blanket when it's finished too!
As for ironing, well the only ironing I like, is the ironing of new cottons that have been prewashed for
patchwork, or when I use vilene to iron applique patches on stitcheries etc!!!!
Joyeux blogging!
