This is the second in my new line of vintage bibs, using the same green vintage print as last time (love it) but this time teaming it with a vintage orange gingham that I also love. I'm pretty happy with this new collection and in particular with the fact that it totally repurposes vintage fabrics.
This week hasn't quite worked out to plan so far. Bella, Lily and I have all come down with colds and yesterday (whilst feeling pretty lousy myself) I spent the day at the hospital with Bella (and Lily) whilst she received treatment for her chest. We came very close to having to be admitted, but a course of mega steroids, nebuliser and inhaler meant that no long stay was necessary. She's still sounding wheezy and still looks a little bluer than I would like, but hasn't got any worse.
Today has been a wipeout though, with nothing more than the absolute basics being achieved. Although a big up for Jim, who cooked a fantastic chicken casserole from Apples For Jam. He's not a cook, so it was quite a deal. And it was nicer than when I've made it...but don't tell him I said so.
Hopefully the rest of the week will pick up, or quieten down, whichever way you want to look at it. I have a couple of days of dedicated work booked in, but that's really dependant on Bella's health, so we shall see.
Thanks so much to everyone for your comments about UK fabric shops, but I know there's a lot more out there, so please, if you haven't shared where you shop yet, please do. Also please do mention the post on your blogs, with a link back so that we can get as many recommendations as possible for fabric shops in the UK. I may even, as suggested by one commenter, start a frapper map. Uh huh!!
The new bib's in the shop.
