A post from windy Morecambe

It seems an absolute age since I wrote a post on here. I've had lots of family commitments this year and what with one thing and another time just flew by.
I decided yesterday to start putting some items in my Rag Rescue etsy shop, getting ready for when people either want to start making Christmas presents or making up a gift  parcel for their sewing enthusiastic friends.
Here are a couple of the fabrics you will find in the shop.
For more fabrics go to






I am sorry but this last fabric has now been sold

Scrapbags containing English, French and Japanese fabrics


Four pretty  scrapbags including one with all Japanese silk vintage fabrics and one with all cotton Japanese vintage fabrics. 

I've finally finished clearing our lounge now so all I have to do is get up early ready for the decorator to start transforming it tomorrow morning. I'm really looking forward to getting it decorated for me as all my married life I've decorated myself. My excuse is that this lounge is just too large and the ceiling too high. 
My house started life as three fishing cottages. The houses were all knocked into one and eventually two of the houses downstairs became an ice-cream parlour, hence the large size. the outhouses became the ice-cream factory which in the 1960's were converted into extra living areas.

This smocking came from a house clearance where the lady created children's clothes for 'Liberty'.

A white Christmas in Morecambe

Well it was a white Christmas for us here in Morecambe. I can't remember the last time I had a white Christmas.We have lived here now for 7 years and it has only snowed twice in all of that time and never lasted for more than ten minutes. Unfortunately I was so very busy with Christmassy details that I didn't get out to photograph it until it was too late. However there was the remains of what had been a wonderful ice maiden snow sculture on the prom but I didn't have my camera with me as I thought all of the snow had disappeared, typical of me. However if it snows again which it does as if it might I will take photos and post them here.

Well it is back to work now. I'm busy washing, ironing and cutting fabric so if the light improves I will be listing again very soon, probably at the weekend. I have some lovely vintage eiderdown fabric in wonderful shades of pink with roses and paisley designs plus a lot of other treats.

I don't think I will have time to post again until after New Year so I wish you all success in the New Year.
