Apart from that bit of news, this week has been a good mail week as I finally got
around to buying this lovely book.
I also bought these cute vintage buttons on ebay - partly because I liked the card they came on, so will have to think of something to do with them!
Eventually after managing to get all my ingredients together, I finally got around to making this granola which really is delicious and made such a comforting smell as it was roasted in the oven. Who knew home-made granola would be so tasty and easy to make? I am now a convert, especially as it works out cheaper and nicer than buying store bought.
Finally: I have been playing around with paper cutting, something which I've looked at before but never done. I was actually doing this whilst I waited for the estate agent to come and value the house, instead of rushing around plumping cushions and other such things you should do when someone is coming to value your home! The only problem, is that I didn't really plan what I wanted to do, so it's just happening organically which basically means I'm just merrily cutting bits out at random and hoping that it holds together! Please note the lovely paper I am cutting which is brown parcel wrapping which came folded in a pack - hence the creases! If I'd been really clever, they would have been the pieces I would have cut out- hmmm - perhaps a little planning wouldn't have gone amiss! Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Your organic cutting out is beautiful. Sometimes doing things like that can be so calming and peaceful. That book is lovely too, I'm yet to make anything from it but even looking at it is very inspiring.
i'm a fan of free-form paper cutting as well. there is something very natural and calming about it...
its gorgeous - looks like it could become a stained-glass window.
That sounds like a busy but restful weekend. I can't wait to see how your paper cut turns out. And that book is on my list as well.
