Yoga by the stars

Hello!
I picked up this class little book in Oxfam books at the weekend for £1. Yoga by the stars by Roma Blair a guide to yoga poses to suit your star sign. I'm Taurus, my poses are the shoulder stand and The Bow posture, "those who were born under born under this Star will find that practising Yoga they will find that practising Yoga they will acquire a finer degree of control over the mind and body".  Roma Blair is definitely my new Yoga guru! She rocks the Yoga poses in her flesh toned fish nets and leotards!

What a fabulous lady and she lived to the ripe old age of ninety!

Namaste everyone!

Ps Another fabulous lady, Vix, is wearing the tiger print dress I sent her on her blog today!!,

Used Unique Boutique....you never know what you might find!

Hello!
Hope you're all having a great weekend. I found this place a while back completely by accident, driving home from Newtownards, the sign Used Unique Boutique caught my eye (there is no sign now!) and it sounded like a place I'd like to check out. It's totally random, house clearance stuff and you never know what you're going to find (fake poo!!) It's worth taking a poke around if you're into retro furnishings, I've seen some really cool things there. Of course like any of these places, auctions or charity shops it can be hit and miss, so the more you go the more likely you are to find what you're looking for!

There are treasures agmonst the crap!

In Search Of Spring

Just Hanging Around

Hello!
My friend Deborah was having a clear out, she saved me a lampshade she thought I'd be able to do something with. I instantly thought about using it as a hanging basket.....

Bits and bobs, left over wool from pom pom making, lampshade and ivy

I cut a circular shape from the lampshade

threaded wool through the top of the shade

bring all the pieces of wool together so they are the same length and tie together

put a little dish in the base

Tah Dah!

It's hanging in our shower room. I finally got around to hanging my charity shop macrame basket in the loo.

I got this idea from the yoga class I go to, I admired some tin hanging baskets hanging at the studio entrance and thought I'd have a go myself. I saved some large tins from the sandwich shop, hammered four holes, used wool to hang and covered the tin in some vintage fabric....Hanging in our hall

Can you tell I love plants!?

I hope you're all having a warm and dry weekend xxx

Sewing for the School Run

Hello!
I've finally got around to making some more elephants in vintage fabrics for Mr Oooh Betty's School Run. Sister Bob was on hand for ironing duties. We sewed, stuffed and sewed some more until 10 more little elephants were ready for their epic journey on The School Run!

Hope you're all having a great week xx
