Small things are pleasing me today. My newly arrived vintage french thread.
From Milly and Dottie's Emporium. A shop to make one smile if ever there was one.
Some little matchbook jotters with paint chip covers and security envelope pages. Guess who got a new guillotine and needed to test drive it?
A small bit of knitting. Very small, and possibly a touch pointless. But I had to have a go at it.
And some rather more useful sock knitting, now completed (alt least one of the pair is)
Now if only I could find my A to Z - I'm off to London in the morning and I'm hopeless without it.
Beautiful! Love your sock.

Love that nail varnish! Sets off the sock a treat!!
As for your A-Z it's in the kitchen cupboard. That's where mine ended up being last time I looked!

Lovely socks. Did you do anything interesting in London?

Look at your lovely green varnish - gorgeous, and it even coordinates with the socks!

Knitting that cute just can't be pointless... and I dig those paint chip matchbook notebooks, using the security envelope liners as inside pages is so clever!

Ooooh, love the color coordination going on here! And the toenails bring out the green in your sock LOL!
