Yes it's the final count down!
And for today's instalment I have decided to group my crafty bits together....
***
First up, some Stitchcrafts and look (LOOK- I'm actually squealing inside at the moment!) who appears on the back *all sigh*
Yes, it's the extremely handsome Roger Moore!
of course I don't like Roger at all- no, not at all ;-D
^A nice fluffy bolero (I was thinking about knitting that!) and what about that mug- haven't found one like that yet.- I have seen a similar 37 one though....
Haven't got a gold Coronation coach either- well I nearly did, but I was stupid and didn't buy it!!!
.... and some single knitting pattern leaflets.
I want to knit them all!
I was thrilled when I came across this pattern, as I have the original cardigan!
Unfortunately it doesn't look it's best anymore as it shrank in the wash, and it now doesn't have a waist, it's too short in the body, blah, blah, blah (I have the original measurements to prove it!)
I think I will just have to knit another one to make up for the now, shrinky dink cardi.

Now the next one I'm not sure of the date, but I'm guessing it could have been made in 53- maybe as a school project, showing the first Queen Elizabeth perhaps?
Isn't she cute- a bit moth nibbled, but cute nonetheless?
Oh, and she has bloomers and everything, though I didn't think they wore bloomers in them days!!!
I take it that modesty prevailed with the seamstress who made little Elizabeth- well most people do look up dolls skirts to see what undies they are wearing, don't they- don't they? (or is it just me!) Surely we couldn't have a queen caught wearing no nitters (Knickers to normal people!), could we now!
Well Cheerio Folks
Tomorrow’s instalment will be....
actually I have forgotten, so you will just have to wait!
I'm sure you can hardly contain your excitement, eh!

Awww, I like the little doll. And of course you have to look underneath, ha ha!
ReplyDeleteAnd the cardigan still looks lovely on you-- and bracelet length sleeves were very popular in the 50s, so it's perfect for the jubilee. ;)
Haha. Roger's wearing my jumper! Lol. X
ReplyDeleteI love that pink fluffy number especially! Thanks so much for sharing! x
ReplyDeletePs: yes we all look up dolls skirts! it's true!
