And I cannot resist a good sale. Butterick is having a Memorial Day sale. It started today and ends 30 May. Unfortunately for those who don’t live in the States, international shipping can be a bit steep if you order more than two or three. But if you have a nice friend or family member coming to visit, ship it to them. Or they can post them to you. I ordered eight and had them sent to my mother-in-law. At the end shipping will be cheaper having her mail them ($14) than the company ($55!). So after costs and shipping (to her then me) is calculated I end up paying about £3.75. Not too bad*.

They all range in skill so I’ll be able to work on the easy ones first and work my way to the harder ones. I will be one busy bee! So, which one should I conqueror first?!
* I do hope it’s all worth the waiting and trouble.

ugh I thought I was done yesterday but here you go showing some goodies that I had not considered. I’m really tempted to move over to wordpress myself. I really like seeing when I have followers and this new thing with it being down is just making me sad.

I LOVE WP. My other blog is one here so it just makes it easier for me. And the dashboard is clean and organized. It uploads photographs in a better quality, I think. But you lose knowing who follows you. But you do still get to read your stats.

I actuallystarted shopping for these patterns, but realised I did not have any of my family or friend’s address to send it to, and I stopped. i’ll just have to wait for sewdirect sales.

Not yet. My patterns are still en route from the States. Have you tried fabric shopping around Shepherds Bush? Lots of stores with lots of choices. Also, I saw this and thought of you: http://londonjewelleryschool.co.uk/taster-classes/. I’m quite interested in doing the silver charm.
