Recalling when we last went there we went as a family when the children were children (they're all in their 30's now!) and the museum had changed a lot. There were not just cars from before our time but also ones we remember growing up with too.
There was a red room with red sports cars, this lovely MG was made in 1955, so it's as old as me!
I've done a collage of just a few of the many cars here (and a scooter from the 60's)
Thursday was to help my daughter Sarah with her choice of wedding dress for her wedding next September. She wanted to see if I liked it and I think she made the right choice, its lovely. So that was Thursday taken up. Also the gas fitter had capped off the connection for the old gas fire in our lounge and we now have a lovely flame effect electric fire instead.
Friday was to see friends for what we thought would be a nice lunch and walk at Hilliers Gardens near Romsey. It was not to be as it was chucking it with rain. So we got our phones out to search for the nearest pub and had a lovely meal and catch up.
As for making things I had a catch up with some recent Splendid Sampler blocks of course, more of that in another post. I've also been busy with secret knitting too. I bought the latest Crochet Now mag. and could not resist doing a little crochet. This was done last night while watching Strictly Come Dancing and hearing the noise of the fireworks outside.
I love the little 'granny' flower which didn't take long to do and I used some glittery Christmas yarn to make a Christmas tree. I like trying out little bits like this.
This week I've also received a couple of craft boxes that I subscribe to. One is from The Bramble Patch (I am so thankful that I don't live near this shop, it is my favourite quilt shop, it wouldn't do my bank balance much good!) which has an English Paper Piecing project in this month's Box of Delights. Another is from the Craft Club Box with some Christmas decorations.
Oh yes, and another little thing I've tried is folded Scandinavian Stars. This was a link that was on the Quilters' Guild Facebook page (so its all their fault) there were several photos on Facebook following this and I had a go on Thursday evening at Bourne Quilters and couldn't get it to work, but I did this morning
The top and left were made with folded strips of fabric and the bottom right as made with ribbon, though that was a bit slippy putting that together but didn't have the bulk of folded fabric. Here's the website that started it all off - Crafting a Rainbow.
All these different crafts reminded me of this
