A cute little suitcase full of embroidery patterns, finished embroidery and thread.

A giant table cloths with (hand?) appliqued flowers

Flanel.To make more pyajama pants.

Another apron (I need to stop buying those, I hardly ever wear them, but I love how they look). And fabric. The red is about four metres and I don’t have a clue what to do with it. Maybe bench covers and curtains for the boat?

I read the best excuse in a comment at Soulemama’s: “oh, but buttons are so small and fabrics are flat, you can always buy those.”
So I did.

I visited a thrift shop again. And of course I didn’t leave empty handed.

:: a large duvet cover, but I think I’ll make bags of it

:: yarn. you can’t really see it in the picture, but the grey has a bit of color in it. I like that.

:: table cloth. I didn’t see the holes until I brought it home, so I’ll cut it up and make something with it.

:: a small duvet cover and matching pillow cases. To make a quilt?

My hands are itching to start working with these, but I’ll have to wait till the washing machine is done with them…

One day I will be a normal woman with lots of different outfits to wear.
I found these vintage dresses and skirts on a market and just couldn’t leave without them.
The good news? The skirt on the right fits.
The rest doesn’t. Ahem. But one day…

I used to have an apron like the one on the right. I embroidered it myself when I was in elementary school. I have no idea where it is, but this one reminded me of it. The other one has an interesting design, but it also fits quite well, so I think I will try to copy it.

No, I didn’t need anymore table cloths. But these were too nice to leave behind…

(I had no idea this was going to be a series, until I started coming up with ideas for more warm and cozy pictures. I like it, it keeps me more positive about loosing the light and knowing that there will be lots of wet, cold, dark and dreary times before the days lengthen again. So now it’s a series for the rest of the week.)

Hot water bottles… We had them for the babies of course, but I gave them away when the kids grew up. We lived in warm, modern houses for years. But now we have this lovely but old and drafty house.
Temperatures are dropping and the beds are chilly at bedtime. I was looking for some extra blankets at the thriftshop, but found these. Perfect!
There was only one cozy though, so I’d better start knitting.

A cute apron this time. I seem to find some lovely things lately.
