little boxes how I love little boxes

Sorry not to have Blogged for a while but I have had my head buried in several sewing projects which I have now completed.
I have had a busy time getting my unit down at the Dorchester Curiosity Centre up and running and have enjoyed having a little permanant retail outlet.

I went on my first "call" of the year and came home with some new treasures, these little boxes are just so lovely , wonderful quality workmanship to house sewing aids, definitely a cut above

New Year's Project

After several days in front of the fire and rubbish films, I am pleased to welcome the New Year with my latest throw, just the backing to do. All that hand stitching I am aching but pleased .
I have done three this winter which is a bit of a record . I was inspired by the colours when I found my latest Fair Isle, it is usually that that pulls the whole thing together and sparks me off, I have to like the colours, too much work otherwise

Getting in the Spirit

Cowslip Christmas was the start with such a wonderful atmosphere ,following that a trip to Germany for the Christmas Markets and this weekend is our family weekend Rufus has his tree ready
Happy Christmas to you all

Victorian Doll's trousseau

This little box of delights was " truffled " out of a Victorian loft, so new to the market.

nearly all perfect , one bonnet has a little damage and a stain I have to tackle on the bloomers that look like ink.
16 items in all.
make me a good offer and they can be yours just in time for Christmas
