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....



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!

    1. Thank you Kathryn!! I knew I loved yellow, it's probably my favourite colour, but I hadn't appreciated how much yellow I wore until this month!

    1. I'm so pleased with my purchases! The top is lovely but I'm still not sure whether I'm going to keep it for me or resize it for Élodie.

  5. Happy blogiversary! I love your bronte tops, I had real fit ssues with the pattern and gave up on it and your versions are making me jealous.

    1. Thank you!! I feel very lucky that it fitted so well straight away, although I think I need more room in the bust on less stretchy fabrics.
