CD


Like lots of you others, I have CDs all over the house! Here is the little pile by my bed, kept on a little coffee table with the radio/cd player. I love to play calming music while I read my book in bed. (Helps tocover up the slurping noises I make while drinking my hot chocolateLOL!!!)

SOS


A bit late, but here is my SOS for this week. I went down to exeter for the weekend to stay with friends from Tanda Stamps forum, and these beautiful threads were on a stall at the craft show we went to.

I havea pile of old tapestries and cross stitches in the bottom drawer of my dressing table! Here's the very first one I did. I have never had it on display.
I used to do a fair bit of cross stitch and tapestry. I still have a beautiful cushion half done, which I still mean to finish off one day. It is an Elizabeth Bradley one and it has auriculas on it. It is absolutely gorgeous! The colours in the cushion are so subtle, but that has been the main problem - you can't see the difference in the poor light of winter, which is when I want to do stitching! I have finished the flowers, it's just the black background to do now. Perhaps I'll get it out again now!

Bling


I keep my everyday necklaces and earrings in the this little dish on my dressing table. I bought the dish on holiday in Spain or Portugal (can't remember where exactly!)
I don't really 'do' bling! I don't have any jewellery that is worth anything. The only time we ever spent money on jewellery was in Bangkok, 25 years ago! Our rep kept taking us to all these gem factories! We bought a few bits, which I still have, and hardly ever worn. Not sure it's worth anything now though

Fold




Towels folded in my airing cupboard.
