A little bit crafty

Have had such a lovely day today with mum. We have spent the day making needle cushions out of bottle tops & felt, which we then decorated.

Then mum brought down (one!) of her treasure troves full of bits of wonderful material. Some of it proper 'vintage' stuff! It was so lovely to hear all the stories behind each piece of material.....some material was from a dress that she had made in the 60's, others from her time in Australia & even some that she used to line my crib with. Lovely how every piece had a memory.
