One week later….
I did enough cleaning of the house last week, so I tottered orf yesterday to garage sales. I found a British magazine from 1950. It talks alot about taking doses of salts. They must have been very poorly after the war in the UK.
I have very artfully placed my hand in the picture to include a new bracelet that I made.

Inside the magazine, stories with pretty drawn ladies. Again, my creativity has reached a new dizzy height. A pearl necklace. Why!… I never!.. placed over the neck of a pretty drawn lady.
I don’t think it has any great value but it has a nice quality about it. Does me fine.

Bags. I really want to start selling them. I am considering a few options. I found this curtain material last week and am amazed I didn’t stash it away and I actually made something. I have been (craft) paralyzed of late.
I used the method from Bend the Rules to do the bias binding and it worked out well but will be better the next time.

Do these photos still look too big? Anyone?

What else does one do on a Saturday night when one is a woman of a certain age.
