When I was small, my dad bought me two beautiful gold bangles from Trinidad; they were gone within the year. Love the top - have just looked the pattern up on Easy and it looks like a possible future project.

I am not keen on puffy sleeves either and have learnt to insert them in a way that does not add inches to me width-wise. Make another one it really suits you. I have made something with your fabric. Will post next week when it stops rain ing and I can take some pictures - outdoors! That has you thinking I guess ??

You are good natured to help out at the school car boot sale, I used to dread the school bring and buy sales at primary school, the boys used to come home with the most appalling rubbish which they were of course SO delighted with!

I do things like that and end up having to go through unpleasant bins to check for stuff. My husband dreads me saying "I think it may have gone out with the recycling!" And has long-sufferingly gone through more wheelie bins than I care to recall! If it's any consolation in my experience things like this do still turn up sometimes because you haven't put it out with the recycling but in that safe place which you knew you'd remember because it was so safe only actually it s so safe you can't remember! I really hope this is the case with your birthday money and that you get a lovely unexpected surprise when you come upon it when you're not thinking about it at all at some stage in the future. Hope your cold goes away quickly and that your gorgeous yellow top continues to cheer you on.

I lost two hundred pounds last year...Hey Christina,<br />I lost two hundred pounds last year. It was given to Marc and I by his Dad, as a family Xmas present. I must have thrown it away. Marc often brings it up. I absolutely adore your top. It would flatter me very much. It looks as if it would be forgiving for a forty five year old post three kids tummy. I like yellow too. I am a recent convert. I always thought that it wouldn't suit me, because I am a blondish red head, with freckles and brown eyes. I do like mustard shades of yellow best.<br />I am sending you good vibes for a brilliant week.<br />Leanne xxLeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617604296746784414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515007843975800463.post-33934922065869205092015-05-17T18:15:57.443+01:002015-05-17T18:15:57.443+01:00your yellow top is wonderfully sunny even if the w...your yellow top is wonderfully sunny even if the weather is not. hope this week is a better one xxxdriftwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11416170414524297337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515007843975800463.post-28254538247775528142015-05-17T17:29:37.423+01:002015-05-17T17:29:37.423+01:00I'm so glad you're feeling better after sh...I'm so glad you're feeling better after sharing your top. I really like it and it looks so nice on you. I wish I could wear that style but I carry all my weight in my torso and tops like that make me look pregnant. Not a good thing. I do love them though and I think yours is lovely. I'm sorry about your birthday money and the scarf. Both are a serious bummer. I hope things look up for you soon.

It is just the thing I would absentmindedly do - I have thrown the children's christmas money out before with the wrapping paper and then had to spend hours going through the rubbish on boxing day. Looking back it brings a smile, but at the time I was so mad with myself. And I like to put things like that somewhere 'safe' then completely forgetting where that safe place was.<br /><br />My week has also not been great, various mishaps plus an infestation of some kind of mite in the kitchen. So I have been doing little else but cleaning and re-cleaning the kitchen in an OCD type way. At least we are not alone in our misery :) I do hope your luck changes for the better soon, that beautiful yellow shirt is bound to cheer up anyone who wears it, I'm sure. Take care. xKimhttp://spiralspun.comnoreply@blogger.com
