Description

Some of you asked me earlier on in the week what I was up to with my sewing machine, well here it is.
As an Ambassador for the Royal British Legion I am always on the look out for ways to raise much needed funds the Royal British Legion in particular 'Combat Stress'.
So whilst I am not stuck behind a viewfinder I am letting my creative madness tun riot, this is a latest order which will be posted off to Derbyshire just in time for Christmas.

Well so now you know.

A huge thank you to you all for you very kind comments and messages following yesterdays upload, an a special mention goes to Eric (Gypsyman) for his UA.

I sincerely hope that you all have a great Silly Sunday, for me I think I shall take the wife and camera for a walk.

Highest regards Nathan

Love the colour's in this carefully Crafted Trio Nathan, and the Sacking type BG makes a perfect back drop for them. Smashing and amusing shot.

They're so sweet. Owls seem to be the height of fashion at the moment. YOu can't move in shops without seeing owl jumpers, T-shirts or jewellery.
