New avenues

Alan is in the process of buying a 1967 Riley. Stupidly, I offered to make some cushions to brighten up its interior (thinking of some nice quilted ones), and he agreed, but instead of quilted cushions he wanted me to make two headrest covers with the emblems of both our colleges on them! So he bought me this ready-to-stitch kit with the Balliol logo, and is currently designing the Wolfson one, as it's not available in the shops. So now I can add embroidery to my repertoire! I feel like quite the old lady sometimes.

In the same craft shop, I stumbled upon these wickedly cool cards:


Aren't they simply fabulous? And... the long awaited envelope from my mum finally arrived, with these very chique gardening gloves.


Thanks, mum! Now I must go and do a little bit of work, before we go off to watch the last day of Torpids rowing races! Go Wolfson and Balliol!
