For all you Downton Abbey fans I recommend your next viewing pleasure.
I just finished the 2005 BBC adaptation of Charles Dickens’ Bleak House.
I adored the characters, the intricate plot and Gillian Anderson was outrageously good.
Oh, and be prepared to cry something fierce towards the end.
Victorian England —- so bleak.
Glamorous DIY Black Lace Mickey Mouse Ears
Inspired by the lovely Olsen girls and some very expensive French-designer lace ears I set out to re-create a version for my trip to Disneyland.
I bought florist wire, black lace & two black head-bands from my local craft shop and got to work:
I was thrilled with the results and so was my beautiful friend Anna. We got a few compliments at the park and longing stares from teenage girls.
We finally own a genuine wool Hudson’s Bay Blanket.
Even though it has a couple of moth bites and the stitching along the edge is fraying this was the one I had to buy amongst the 60 on ebay.
Richard D. Mann was once an owner of this 100 year old blanket - I like to think of him placing it across the bottom of his bed, then venturing out into a crisp Canadian winter, in Northern Ontario.
Next to Richard D. Mann’s name I’ve stitched my school name tag.
Richard and I love the same HBC blanket.
Oh, yes and it’s been Sean French approved!
Ps. I found out a common misconception is the number of points (stitched lines) represented the number of beaver pelts in a trade. Nothing so romantic. The points are designed to show the weight and size of the blanket, plus they’re easy to see when the blanket is folded on a shelf.

Hello El Hay - nice to meet you!
