New Year catch up

Having been told off by my sister for not putting anything up in a while, I guess it's time for a New Year catch up. So there will mow be a brief flurry of short posts with the things what I has done that I never got quite as faf as recording.

But ... just so that this post has some contdnt I want to tell you about my newest, favouritist store. The hubby is a big comic fan and his favourite shop is on Berwick street in London (Gosh Comics if you must know), and Berwick street is full of fabric shops, many of which intimidate me. Unfortunately the first shop I set foot in had beautiful fabrics that were about £60 a metre! Anyway, today one particular shop caught my eye, the Cloth House at 47 Berwick street. It is a beautiful shop. Wonderful fabrics including hand printed silks and Japanese cottons, as well as a beautiful building. I could have spent a lot of money there. I was eyeing up some beautiful Japanese cotton for a Polly Top from By Hand London but at £28 per metre I thought I ought to try the pattern on something a little cheaper first so I went for a pattern with the two colours reversed. So once I have access to a printer I'll have a go at this ... and then splash out on the fancy fabric!
