Another Tiny Pocket Tank from Grainline Studio (you will need to Google it because blogger is being an arse right now)
My first one is here. It is my favourite top ever. It is the perfect shape for me, it's modern, it's workable with so many different fabrics, it's cheap, it's just awesome! I am planning more. Some that are more formal, in silk and chiffon, I am going to go tiny pocket tank crazy!! Lucia took this photo - she is pretty good. She was cross when I wouldn't smile - it's dorky enough having your photo taken for the sake of a shirt, I just didn't know what expression was the right one...



Bakery treats...Lucia and Eva played for about 2 hours with playdoh and cookie cutters!






Poached peaches. I used a simple sugar syrup (2 parts water 1 part sugar - simmer for about 10 minutes) but try adding a cinnamon stick or rose water - yum!

Lucia and Eva were naturally dubious of 'cooked' peaches, as they are dubious of most food but after some gentle prodding, they scoffed them down. It's a great way to use up peaches that have been languishing in the fruit bowl too long or when you see crazy cheap peaches and cannot let a bargain go by (that's me in a nutshell!)



I eat mine with muesli and Greek yogurt. Delicious!

I wondered what pattern the Xmas top was, I liked it when I first saw it! The 2nd top has sold me, I just downloaded it. Hope I look as good in it as you do!

I am a bit dubious of cooked fruit too but those look delicious!

Hiya. I am supposed to be sending you a lovely mix tape cd as part of Vic's music swap over at Punky and me.
Was just dropping by to say, really sorry, bear with me its in the process of being assembled, its just been one hell of a couple of weeks and I'm really sorry some things have fallen off the bottom of the list.
Hope all is well.
All the best Nora (Jane)
