Went to lovely Rye last weekend and picked up the Uhura book and storage bags, I didn't buy the Basil Brushes - I just took a sneaky photo of those cheeky fellas. All of which remind me of growing up in Birmingham in the 60's and 70's. For a young girl growing up in inner city Birmingham it was very inspiring to see an intelligent, sophisticated and seriously glamorous black woman on 'Star Trek'- great TV. Basil Brush was a nutty TV hand puppet character who was very naughty and made me and my brothers laugh.....
We visited Henley this weekend on the way to sunny Swindon. I bought this new addition for my sewing and craft book collection from a great second hand book shop. The other half bought me the gorgeous little plate that is next to the book.
Barbara bought me this fantastic sewing book. We were a bit horrified though when we had a closer look at the model's hand and noticed her scissors finger - ahhhhhgg!!! No wonder she looks surprised!
Got a brilliant book through the post today. It traces the rise and rise of the indie craft movement that has been happening over in America during the past few years. It has loads of great photos, histories and essays. It's a real inspiration and a pick-me-up if you ever get those days when you think 'Am I totally mad, why am I doing this crazy stuff?!!'. I recommend it to you all.
Yes, I'm enjoying teaching myself how to make books, here are the latest additions or should I say editions to my little library. I knew my collection of old books would come in handy one day!
Have been doing some bookbinding lately, I couldn't resist using denim for the spines on these 2 books, what a surprise!
