I love this magazine and recently treated myself to a years subscription. It was a very thrifty treat though as it only cost £10 using Tesco clubcard vouchers. Mr Earplugs always wants to use these vouchers when we do the shopping but I hide them so he can't and I use them for treats instead!
March's edition has lots of articles which are right up my street. Wouldn't you love to have all this fabric:
And look at this sewing machine:
My grandmother had a treadle Singer and I loved it. I so wish I had one. I don't know what happened to it. When she died the house was rather speedily emptied by one of my aunties, causing a family row!
Lots of ideas for storage:
I think my Dad has a cupboard like this in his shed. He's had it for years and stores all his plant foods etc in it. It's probably worth a few bob now!One day I'm going to live somewhere a bit more like this than where I live now:
And have a garden that I can do this with:
I love Acers:
We planted a dwarf one in a large pot in the garden as a sort of 'baby loss' memorial following my miscarriage last summer.
There's some yummy food too. Wish my dinner's looked like this (love the plate):
And wish I could eat this:
Sadly not allowed at the mo.
But lots of other stuff to drool over when I get a few free minutes - yum!
I bought mine yesterday - its lovely isnt it. I too am going to have a house there, with a garden like that and meals that look as good as that - right before hell freezes over !!! Thanks for your kind comments about Colin - hes still going strong

I love this magazine to, well the Aussie version of it that is. Good girl hiding thoses vouchers you are very resourceful.LOL!
ReplyDeleteI have just done a post on my blog you might like to see it it how Europe/England fits into Australia as many don't quite relieze how big it is. Hope you and baby are growing well.
Hi Tilly, when I was pregnant I always craved pate purely because I couldn't have it... though I found it was more like have 9 months of PMT instead of 9 months off! I miss my CL subscription so much!

I love Acers too. My grandparents had one of those cupboards in their kitchens - I still remember it vividly. It would be a lovely crafting 'station'. x
ReplyDeleteNow that is one monthly visitor I look forward to recieving.
ReplyDeleteI haven't even opened my copy yet (came a few days ago). I've lost interest in it for some reason. I think it went a bit twee for my liking at one stage and I've never really got back into it.
ReplyDeleteOh, I just love my magazines too! I was just reading one a couple of minutes ago too!
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you for the peek! Yes, I would love all that fabric.
ReplyDeletehello and thanks for visiting my little blog. what a lovely blog you have and a precious something inside you. i pray that it all goes well. keep safe, i will be back.

I think I should avoid that magazine - I have terribly itchy feet at the moment and it is made worse as I keep watching escape to the country. I've discovered a lovely mag I can drool over but not necessarily feel the urge to move immediately - Australian Quilters Companion. It's brill!
ReplyDeleteTreating ourselves to a magazine subscription is really fun - and every month we get a gift in the mail:) My stepdad found an old Singer treadle at the dump once - I was very small - but I was enchanted with its beauty. In every drawer there were old sewing things. It was a treasure for sure.
