a couple of finishes

okay to be totally honest i finished this about a week or so ago

but i have been a really slack blogger

so this is the absolutely gorgeous note book cover

we received the kit for at GDITC

it was designed by the gorgeous Kerry 

since i am a bit into reproduction fabrics and purple 

at the moment i decided to use

my own fabric 

which i purchased at 

cottage on the Hill 

on the GDITC

weekend

i also added a some antique lace that i had

acquired from somewhere

i am really happy with it

and it has gained a permanent place in my handbag

i have also been playing with crochet

i discovered 

attic 24

a few months ago

and have avidly read so much of her blog

i discovered the patterns for

the teeny tiny stars

and

Teeny tiny hearts

i decided to use some twine, so i could get a very natural look

the twine made it a little more challenging for a novice crocheter

regardless i managed

to

 create a little crocheted

swag

which i am waiting for gadget to hang in kitchen for me

(it involves placing nails into some very hard wood, otherwise i would have done it)

more to show you very soon

I hope your hands are working on a project that you love

Ciao
