BNTM Here I come

I have a vintage batwing top in my supplies&vintage shop.
I was advised to model it and spent a fun filled half an hour setting my camera on timer and then rushing to sit on the couch.

Well as you can see I am no model but it was a good laugh and you can see the batwing sleeves now can't you?

Red

I have been making a red spangly Dorset button as a custom order. I love the colour and sitting sewing it made me feel happy. So I thought I would find some red items from other people to share the happiness all around.

I love these buttons - aren't they bright and colourful? They are from Bigfish where you can get all manner of lovely buttons and crafty lovelies.

I had to include these simply beautiful earrings from Chameleonite:-

These beautiful fine art print is called 'Red Autumn Leaves'. So how could I miss it out? Look in the lovely and talented Illusio's shop for more examples of her work.

And to finish my happy, warm, red feature is this wonderful hat by MoaningMinnie. I chose it because of the lovely pattern but there are lots and lots of gorgeous hats in MoaningMinnie's shop as well as other lovely pieces. This is just the perfect thing for this time of year. I love it.

Lost and Found

I was a bit daft.
My bike was round my mum's but she needed the space. So I thought I would put it in an empty shed in the garden. Now our garden is a communal one for the 5 flats which is fine however, it has a back entrance so you can walk through from the front gate and go to the back gate and I have caught a couple of kids using this route to cut off a corner on their way somewhere.

But I still put the bike in the shed which had no lock. Although I did lock up my bike.

I woke up yesterday morning and saw the shed door open. Uh oh and to confirm my dread indeed the bike was gone. That is that then, I thought. The little **** have probably dumped it and this upset me more than the thought of someone stealing it to ride it.

So got Little Blue ready for school and off we went. Walking along the road I saw a bike leaning against a wall. 'I wonder if that is my bike' I said. And off my girl ran to have a closer look. IT WAS! It was still locked up and you could see evidence of them trying to cut through the lock and failing. Ha Ha!! The only thing I have noticed is that the chain is off. I put my girl on the seat and wheeled her to school then took the bike home.
It is sitting looking at me now, pride of place in my lounge.

And then I get to my course to find out it is only a giving back essays and feedback on them session. I got an A and a B. And had time to go home watch Bargain Hunt and have lunch with Mr BBB before work.

So a good day after a rotten start.
