Sun, fur and lego
We've had some beautiful clear mornings here in the last week. I thought you might like to see this view from our back bedroom of the sun rising over Bodmin Moor.
In creative news, I set forth yesterday armed with Issue 9 of Mollie Makes (yes I know issue 10 is out now, I've got plans for that one too...), a cheap and cheerful Asda cardigan, half a yard of faux fur fabric and my trusty sewing machine (which I secretly suspect is smarter than I am).
I had to re-draft the pattern as the one in the magazine was cut for a cardigan with a higher neckline, but here is the result, a little bit of retro chic, plus enough of the fur left over to make a snuggly cushion at a later date.
I've been playing with washers and hex nuts again too, I might have something new to show soon.
And the lego, you ask. Well, I bought Eloise this book for Christmas, and she has been inspired.
Look at this necklace she created from Lego.
Very Harley Quinn.
(Note for Linda, it goes really well with a certain pair of jeans)

Love your sunrise.
Pictures please of The Girl in the Long Distance Jeans. That could be the title of a suspenseful thriller. Alternatively, you could just send me a picture privately.
Super sunrise, your part or the world is famous for such sights, although it's a placed have ever been to.
Well done Eloise , brilliant project, you are clever.
Love the fur trimmed cardi, very swish.
Love the sunrise Christine, but wow the cardi what a transformation,Eloise is inspired too well done to her.What a talented family.
A beautiful photo of sun rise. I like the idea of dressing up a cardigan with a fur collar.
I love your view - it's to die for!
It's always so fun to see what you and yours are creating. Boy, could we make a lot of lego necklaces around here....
oooo love your view and coooooo that cardi looks fab :) and way to go on the jewellery making to Eloise too :) love mouse xxxx
Wow brilliant...and love the neclace..very retro. I reckon that would go down very well with students and famous people who like to be different....I see a designer in the making!!!
The sunrise is beautiful!
Love the cardigan. What a fantastic idea. Love the Lego necklace.
Lovely designs! That lego necklace is too cool!
The lego necklace is quite nice. My son used to be a huge fan of legos.
I first saw MollieMakes due to you and now have a subscription so thanks for sharing it! I LOVE that sweater and how you jazzed it all up. This magazine is going to keep us both from the streets by the looks of it...lol.
