A New Look

You may have noticed changes in the look of my blog over the last couple of days. I decided I was bored with my old blog colour scheme.

No Sewing, but....

I have a lovely clean bathroom. Nothing like exam time to get that house sparkling. :) Oh, and fabric came home with me from Spotlight. Nothing too amazing - black tricot and a printed satin with skulls on. Both have been bought as linings. Yes, I'm shamelessly copying inspired by Judy's idea. I'm sure she'll forgive me. [Insert big cheesy grin here :) ] Hopefully there'll be some sewing in the next few weeks.
