Sing as you go .......

I love Marvin Gaye's album "What's Going On" and it sure fits the bill this week but so does Rochdale born Grace Fields song "Sing as you go". 

Stockport Vintage Village

I'm sure it was written for my mum as she is always singing.  So am I when I have'nt got laryngitis, which I have this week.  It was weird yesterday when tried to belt it out to a song on the radio. A little squeak came out then a bit of a huff.

"Hallelujah" shouted Philip "thats been the best thing to come out of you having a cough and cold.  A bit of peace and quiet".  I'm sure he doesn't mean it really.

So even though I have got bugs I wrapped up warm in my charity shop find cashmere cardi and stuck my head out the door to have a look at Humpty the scarecrow which young Evie and Jack from next door put together (with Mummy's help) for the local Scarecrow Festival. Isn't he a cracker.

Once back inside I pinned up the start of my patchwork curtains which I'm making from vintage/retro fabrics, hankies and linens.  I think they will look great in our bedroom.

 I'm calling them my Rough & Ready Range. In other words don't look to closely.

 We missed the Vintage Home Show yesterday at Victoria Baths, Manchester because of my coughing and spluttering so I'm looking forward to July's Stockport Vintage Village and seeing all our friends again.

SOME SCARY LAUGHS

 Look at the fantastic SHAUN THE SHEEP scarecrow scene my friend and neighbour Karen made for the Whitworth Scarecrow Festival (and she won first prize).

Another friend and neighbour Jeanette did a great job on WORZEL GUMMIDGE

and here is Scary Doodly Bird and its friends.

  It was good fun despite the rain.

A DOODLY BIRD THAT I DON'T LIKE

"I  LIKE THIS...................BUT I DON'T LIKE THIS"

SAID THE ALDI ADVERT ON THE TV

That is just what I said when I created this Doodly Bird for the Whitworth Scarecrow Festival 25th August-2nd September 2012

I liked it at this stage

 

But then the monster started to emerge

Top Secret Project

Here are a few clues to my latest project.

It involves a lot of tape

A prop photographed from a funny angle

A pair of pink crocs, a plastic parrot, some fabric and scissors

If  I told you anymore I would have to kill you.

So my friends you will have to keep a watchful eye on the blog.

The only thing I can tell you is that the end result will appear before the 24th August and if I pull this off I will be mighty pleased with myself.
