I've lost count of how many sets I've bought for Izzy just to end up with lots of single clips and no matching pairs.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Does anyone else suffer from this problem? Where do these clips go?!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyway I saw this <a href="http://nested.typepad.com/features/2009/09/feature-clothes-line-hair-clip-holder.html">tutorial</a> and it's such a pretty solution.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I used a frame from a charity shop which, as it was the first one I grabbed, is not in the best condition but once painted it looked a bit better.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">It's amazing how much you can make from just one tea towel! I had already turned my £1 CS tea towel into an <a href="http://littlepinkladyinpink.blogspot.com/2010/07/little-hands-that-bake.html">apron and oven mitt</a> and was finding it difficult to dispose of the scraps so I turned the leftover strip into a headband for Little Miss. P instead!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Shame she won't keep it on for more than 30 seconds! I still have a small strip left too so there may be hearts in my next post!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Speaking of the little girl who is the recipient of 99% of my makes, I am gradually turning her bedroom from a neutral nursery to a pink, girly bedroom.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">She did have a cream and brown light shade but she now has a pretty pink one instead.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">As you can see she has a kitchen in there and she quite often has friends (of the stuffed variety) over for lunch and tea parties! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I found an Emma Bridgewater Tea Towel in a charity shop a while ago which was perfect for a little girl's kitchen.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I just cut the tea towel into an apron shape and sewed some bias to the raw edges. The straps are one length of ribbon threaded through the bias to make it adjustable. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">There was enough of the fabric left over to make an oven glove.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I have been very neglectful of my poor blog but since going back to work full time I haven't had the time or energy to post, let alone do anything to post about!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But I've had a (much needed) week off and managed to do a cross a few things off my ever growing list!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">First was this dresser unit that had been in Miss. Pink's bedroom for the last few years.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEher3IODmt8ADEkied3ditRCOcoT4MmFAn9LFEJn5S14NeCtaarHu4-F0934TT37ZqBowe0IZnLaBgyGnQpmr2uLgbsolHaPT1tKVv6tJT81g9NIe8GDG9fY69InyjnYR99JWwW6TtPzvY/s1600/P1040800.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEher3IODmt8ADEkied3ditRCOcoT4MmFAn9LFEJn5S14NeCtaarHu4-F0934TT37ZqBowe0IZnLaBgyGnQpmr2uLgbsolHaPT1tKVv6tJT81g9NIe8GDG9fY69InyjnYR99JWwW6TtPzvY/s320/P1040800.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I needed to move it out to make way for a dolls house that was mine when I was a little girl (I'll post photos of that soon). Unfortunately our home isn't big enough to keep it so I thought I'd have a go at painting it before selling.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I finally got around to it this week and this is how it looks now.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKtFrNCqJOXmTxjE1HNMtxSI8AiXbaaXf6jK85Lgv6svDcGVeYTOPNi0dnLk8oFcAIfgEAgPFHzchj1JXfvbyib3-z_9H1eHuttpIsoSHdOixoRPm7WSzQNp1A0MDKmyGCsoDiRaHF3AU/s1600/DSC_0012.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKtFrNCqJOXmTxjE1HNMtxSI8AiXbaaXf6jK85Lgv6svDcGVeYTOPNi0dnLk8oFcAIfgEAgPFHzchj1JXfvbyib3-z_9H1eHuttpIsoSHdOixoRPm7WSzQNp1A0MDKmyGCsoDiRaHF3AU/s320/DSC_0012.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I did try to varnish the top to keep the pine colour but it went horribly wrong and I ended up having to paint the whole thing!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I quite like it (more than I should for something I'm having to part with) and even Mr. P said he was impressed and he dislikes this kind of furniture!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I did also make a cute little car caddy for a friend's son's birthday (<a href="http://homemadebyjill.blogspot.com/2009/12/cozy-car-caddy-tutorial.html">from this tute</a>) but realised after I gave it to him I forgot to take photos! But it's a great guide for anyone wanting to make one.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Anyway, I will hopefully post again sooner than 2 months from now!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Finally got around to it now I have a nice new machine and even more reason to protect it from evil dust (which there is loads of in my house)!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It hasn't got interfacing or anything so it's a bit floppy but it does the job.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Unfortunately Mr. P is not a fan of all things pink and flowery so I had to go with something a little less girly as my sewing corner is in the lounge.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'm quite pleased with it especially as there was no pattern, I just made it up as I went along!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The one I had was kindly donated by my mother in law and I've wanted to choose one of my own for some time but could never justify the expense when I already had one that worked perfectly well. Some unexpected cash was the perfect opportunity to treat myself.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It arrived this afternoon and I have had a little play around with it but thought I'd share my excitement before getting really stuck in. It has 40 different stitches to play with! What fun!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

My new camera has been getting lots of attention and it has left my sewing machine feeling rather sorry for herself!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I did make a sock monkey for my brother's birthday recently and he was quite a giant! I forgot mens socks were bigger than ladies!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now, as way of apology to my poor neglected sewing machine I am doing my first giveaway!

When the postie arrives at my door holding a parcel he is a most welcome visitor but especially when it is an unexpected delivery. I was ready to make an accusing call to Mr. Pink at work for ordering things without consulting me (although I am the one guilty if this!) when I read the message on the delivery note. It was an incredibly generous gift from a family member completely out of the blue.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">One of these.....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I do enjoy photography and have been coveting a DSLR for some time but there has always been something more sensible (boring) to spend our money on. Now I can surround myself with photography books, magazines and websites while I try to figure out what ISOs, Apertures and White balances are! I am already making notes of the lenses and accessories I will be saving for!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Obviously I had to try it out so got snapping with some of the goodies I bought in <a href="http://littlepinkladyinpink.blogspot.com/2010/03/pretty-and-cute-overload.html">this shop</a>.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">During the couple of hours I get to myself whilst Miss. P is at pre-school I often enjoy a child free stroll around the charity shops. It is lovely to be able to rummage without trying to stop a two year old from rummaging too! Yesterday I found these trousers made from Ikea CK Rosali. Unfortunately they are a bit faded but I think will look ok if used for smaller projects and I was pleased anyway as I'm always hoping to find some Rosali.</div><br />

This was last August and I'm ashamed to say that up until this afternoon it was still sitting by the back door completely unchanged. Actually, it had gained a layer of dust and some cobwebs!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The trouble was it wasn't exactly what I was looking for but I bought it anyway. I didn't have the motivation to do the makeover as I wasn't really in love with it. From now on I will only buy something if I <i>really </i>want it, promise!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

There are still some areas that need touching up with a bit of paint but apart from that I'm quite pleased with how it looks now. It's painted in a colour called 'Sketchbook' by Crown which is a really pale grey/off white.<br />
<br />

I painted it with a mini roller so when it came to the more intricate leaf design the roller didn't get into all the nooks and crannies but I actually quite like it like this so I might leave it.<br />

Not a cloud in sight and warm enough to be outside without having to break into excessive physical activity to keep from freezing solid! My washing would have preferred a little more breeze but I'm not complaining. I have a feeling it wont last but it has been enough for me to add a peg bag to my 'to make' list!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I have mentioned I'm a big fan of my local library service and they have provided once again! I loved the series 'Mums Know Best' shown on tv recently so when I heard there would be a book to accompany the programme I went straight onto the website to reserve a copy. Surprisingly I was high up in the queue and I now have it all to myself (for about three weeks)!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRCIdzvxMiz4vkkgviLR-riwrOFa8WV75nWf6i_ZoKPHszx6vPOxPJQel45NxLxxR7ubh1X1IslgLvm_YvqRIw84r4mR3e750Eo9oKhycUJdTXsrNPPRPkhphJIf-1xhraOjgrYcJYUBY/s1600-h/P1040856.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRCIdzvxMiz4vkkgviLR-riwrOFa8WV75nWf6i_ZoKPHszx6vPOxPJQel45NxLxxR7ubh1X1IslgLvm_YvqRIw84r4mR3e750Eo9oKhycUJdTXsrNPPRPkhphJIf-1xhraOjgrYcJYUBY/s320/P1040856.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It fits in nicely with some of the others that live here. Who knows, maybe it will impress me and gain permanent residence. Obviously I'd buy another and not steal the library copy!</div><div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Apart from the cook books, I also enjoy a good novel too (see my reading list down the side) and thought it was time I saw something pretty and handmade every time I pick up where I left off. I have wanted to make a bookmark for a while but needed pinking shears for the one I had in mind.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Once I finally plucked up the courage to spend an outrageous amount of money on what is essentially a fancy pair of scissors, I pulled out my scraps and made this for myself. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Next on my list of things to do is making over this dresser unit from Miss. P's bedroom. Next month she will be getting a dolls house that I was given on my 7th birthday and I need to make space for it as it is around the same size as this! It is in my parents house at the moment and I was going to put this on ebay but think it may sell for more if 'Shabby Chic'd' first!<br />

Now I haven't been officially tagged or anything (please do not report me to the blog police) but I thought I would show mine too.

So, in my bag I have 2 books. One I am reading and the other is a cute little ladybird book I got in a CS. The usuals, keys, phone, tissues, purse, passport (not that there is any chance of leaving the country in the near or distant future), cheque book, ibuprofen and medication. There is also some essential hand cream and selection of lip glosses. Batteries to be recycled and a tape measure because you never know when you might come across a bargainous piece of furniture! Miss P's sunglasses, a CK shopping bag and notepad and pens.<br />
<br />
Yesterday I spent the day in retail therapy. First I picked up these jars I ordered from Tescos and I was impressed that Mr P didn't feel the need to moan about them being too girly for the kitchen!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I also bought a few bits in the CSs including this double flat sheet.

I have left one side on her cotbed so it is a makeshift day bed which she loves sitting on with a pile of books to keep her company.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Anyway, I was quite pleased with them for my first attempt at cushions.

So, here it is, just for you dear husband if you are reading. A big, floral, pretty, colourful hint!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Speaking of floral, these pretty flowers jumped into my trolley in Sainsburys! I only noticed my matching vase and mug when I lost my cup of tea (they often get lost when I get distracted and I end up with half drunk cups of tea everywhere) and found it here. A little collection of pink and polka dot has cheered me up on another cold and snowy day.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I came across a bag full of embroidery goodies in a CS last week. There are two linen tablecloths, both unfinished but with a tin full of matching embroidery threads. Just perfect for someone who has never embroidered but is keen to have a go.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
