Bee happy ... have a few day trips

Husband had last week off work so we decided to go out for a few day trips.

First off was a visit to the Trafford Centre again and a look in Selfridges.  While I was browsing PIP products husband wandered off for a while. He has the attention span of a small child but this time it worked in my favour as he came back with a CK bag in his hand.

He had bought me a present bless him.

My new PIP plate and mug to match my bowl
I bought a few weeks ago.

When I opened my present from husband it was this gorgeous bag to use on our day trips.

Inside the bag I found some CK badges as well :)

On Tuesday we went to the Lake District and headed straight to Grasmere, love it here.

Lots of cute sheep about with their lambs.

We also stopped off at Keswick and went to the James Bond Museum, husband loved it here, he took loads of photos.  If you like James Bond it is definitely worth a visit, loads of cars and memorabilla from the films.

We had a day at Whitby and Scarborough and then a couple of days at home around the garden in the lovely weather. 

Updated my sewing corner, photos later.

Have a delicious day!

Bee happy ..... make, do and glam up!

When I was in Selfridges the other weekend I saw some lovely tea towels with ribbons and trims on.  They were that fab they didn't have a price on! So, rather than enquiring and then not buying because of the price I thought I would make my own from already owned ones.

I chose 2 in pink, using the smaller flower towel to cut up. Then a red one to add bits on to.

I cut 2 sections from the small print towel and stitched on either end of large flower towel.
I then added some East of India ribbon across the centre of the strip.
Then I finished off with lace on each end.

To hide any messy sides I then added trim down both sides
to finish off.

Because this towel already had one piece of ribbon I found another the same
to put on the other end, then I put a wider piece of ribbon above each end.
I finished off with a piece of  lace on each end again.
I also added a ribbon hanger halfway.

I am now the proud owner of 2 new tea towels which were otherwise left in the drawer as my Cath Kidston ones were always used!

I may make some for mum in law for mothers day.

Bee happy ..... treat yourself

Hope you all had a great weekend and managed to get any projects in mind started or completed :) The weather was great here yesterday, lots of sun and warmer temps.

I happened to be out Manchester way yesterday and couldn't really say no to stopping at the Trafford shopping centre as I haven't been here before.  Really pleased I did because they have a Selfridges which happens to have a Cath Kidston store inside :)

I also found this really cute bowl from PIP in Selfridges, John Lewis are also doing this range, it's so adorable I had to have it, for my cereals of course!

A little addition to my utility room from Cath Kidston
