We paid almost £8 for a skirt pattern a few months ago :eek:

yep, there's only one shop which sells patterns in town, and they're at least £7..
i usually look out for sales on them, although i picked up a brilliant book in a charity shop the ohter week about how to make your own patterns!

Oh and I just had a phone call from a friend reminding me that we are visiting a pre school for their open evening today. Thankfully it's early so we should still be home in time to have a play with the machine.

I like the purple dress but with the elasticated waist of the black one. I might do some shirring around the purple though.

Good choice I think!

Vicki I love the Very Easy Vogue pictures, so glam!

The superlambananas?! There are penguins too!

I should probably venture further out into Liverpool more, I'm so lazy! There always used to be loads of little markets/fairs/boutique shops that I spent all my money in as a teenager but haven't been to for years and years.

I finally bought a pair of nude court shoes today, with a Fiorella clutch purse that should work well with the dress. I also bought 'coralicious' nail varnish, but no jewelry in the right colours.. still all should work well together.

I like the very easy voge with sleeves....it looks v. sweet.

Oh crikey....running through cake recipes in my head now......maybe a honey and hazelnut cake? he loves honey.....

daisybella

that sounds good Lost!

I'm doing a chocolate fudge cake with a mound of his favourite sweets/choc on top. Simple but should look impressive.

My father is such a chocaholic, worse than the most hormone driven women I know

I have resisted the lure of the cherry cake today. I'm quite impressed with myself

How did the weigh in go Daisy? (or would you rather not talk about it?)

Afternoon ladies.

Vicki those maxi dress look fab love the simple black one and the cream one with the sleeves! I always have visions of things I would like to make but know they would end up turning out very different!

Daisy, the floral dress on my blog was purchased a few weeks ago, so should still be in store.

Today I am wearing

Skinny ripped jeans
Steve madden booties
Striped cardigan with stud detailing(my new favourite item of clothing!)

It didn't go the way I had panicked about, nor the way it should have gone
I'd oddly dissapointed in myself (oddly as it's a new feeling for me) as I've really been working hard to maintain,
thankfully it wasn't down enough for her to want hospital this week.
