Days

We are half way through 2009. Can you believe it? Last year I made a promise to myself that I will make a clothes for myself. Since I have been totally inspired by Ruth from Two Hippos and Jo from Today We Are for their dress making skills, I have finally copied the pattern on to a paper. This is a BIG step for me :D In July I am hoping to finish it.
The other thing which will be finished by July is my new crochet tote. The above photo is a sneak preview of the bag. It is not quite finished yet. This pattern will have lots of photos (as per usual) and a video tutorial. I really enjoy making the patterns and video tutorials but it's always weird listing to your own recorded voice!
Just wanna show you this tin... (I LOVE this one). I collect vintage tins. They are going to be my new charity projects for this winter in addition to my Charity Purse Making Kits. The details will be given later on this summer.
Also, there is a new bakery in Greenwich called Rhodes. If you are ever around, do visit. Highly recommended. They are the UK's first company to sell coffee in a 100% biodegradable cup and a lid.
Good new is that Mittens now have a pendant attachment on his collar. I believe it has his home address in it (when I tried to check it, he didn't like it and pulled his neck away). I am so relived that he has a home. He still visits us but at least I know he has a home :D
