Me Made May Roundup - Week 2

Yay!  It's my one year blogiversary today! And after a fairly eventful week here is my round up of days 8-14:

Day 8: Bronte top and Ultimate Trousers (again!) for moving day.  I really hate moving house!!

Day 9: Bonnie Sweater with Marilla Walker's Evan Skirt for the daytime, followed by....

...a Tilly and the Buttons double whammy (Françoise dress and Mathilde blouse) for a fab evening with friends. 

Day 10: Bronte Top and Ultimate trousers (again, again) for a recovery day

Day 11: Brand new jumper (which I'm now on the fence about, I may get round to blogging it at some point) with a jersey maxi skirt.  I did get too hot in the afternoon and put a renfrew on instead.

Day 12: Resized skirt with an unseen NewLook 6808 and a Mum knitted cardi.

Day 13: Marilla Walker Evan skirt with Zoe's Dolores top and a second hand cardi for work.

Day 14: Another Tilly double, yellow denim Delphine skirt with Mimi blouse (and new coat, oops!) for a wonderful morning spent with Portia at the local charity shops.

And just in case you were wondering what I bought, here is my haul for the day!

A home made suit (we think, there is a lot of hand stitching on the inside AND MATCHING SHOULDER PADS!!) made from something that looks a lot like tie fabric for £4.  I mostly bought this because I didn't want to leave it behind but I don't know what I'm going to do with it.  Maybe resize the jacket and wear it as a blazer.

A maxi dress which I'm going to make into a skirt for £2

A pair of shoes for £2

A Joules top for £3

Salt and pepper pots for £2 which Portia saved for me from being poached by a very grumpy man!  Also, I am convinced these are my parents old ones which is a bit strange!

And a selection of knitting patterns and a book on smocking for 50p which I can't turn round for some reason!

It was so lovely meeting Portia again and I had a great time browsing the charity shops with a real pro!  It felt like a good bit of escapism from the trauma of moving!  We still haven't got any internet in our new place yet and I am really missing seeing everything in the Flickr group, but hopefully tomorrow something will be sorted.  I also haven't been able to read any blogs for over a week now so will be spending a very productive morning tomorrow with my computer!
