Happy Halloween

Hope your day is full of treats !

Bits and Bobs

Had a great week end in London popped into Libertys love this shop,
 such an amazing fabric department. Dumpling lunch at Jen Cafe in Soho.
 Wednesday 26th Sew Retro was at theJubilee Library Brighton, for a
 Eco family fun day, helping adults and children make
recycled home decorations.

Thrifty Week Ends

 Enjoying the great weather strolling along Blatchington Road Hove I found two
side plates, a bargain, £1.00 each. Perfect to put my first try from the Primrose
Bakery cook Book -  plum cupcakes on. This great book arrived a few days
earlier from Amazon, and I am REALLY looking forward to trying out

so many of the gorgeous cakes. It's not often that I feel I will make 90% of the
recipes in a cook book, one down 89% to go. Ha ha.

Mid week up cycling

I was really inspired by these great cafe table's, at Inside Out Cafe in the
Lanes Brighton., and of course Gaudi Parc Barcelona.
With the help of my "girls" we have recycled a few paving
slabs for the front garden, to use a stepping stones.
I went to my local tile shop and bought £10.00
worth of end of line tiles (20p) each, found some
left over tile adhesive and some left
over grout, also I have recycled a few Ikea
glass beads originally used
in flower vases.

 It was easy to break the tiles with a screwdriver and hammer, and spread the

adhesive over the tiles, during the recent warm weather they dried very
quickly.

 Again it was easy to grout, I used an old take away, carton lid, cut to shape
to spread the grout. When it was dry, I wiped over with an old cloth to remove

the excess grout.

The summer we never had

Swimming in the channel in October - fresh but fab. Hope you have been enjoying
this incredible weather.
