As always with the Great British Sewing Bee, I feel the need to sew. Not that I'm particularly good but I try. Anyway, this week's challenge was to create a lace pencil skirt. Man, do I want one. How cute?! And if the GBSB can't get any better, they then posted this on their twitter feed during the episode. *Giggles*
The book I read last week was a hard slog and even though I started to skim read after the second chapter, it still took me almost the whole week to get through it. I don't feel that I can review it so it has been removed to the 'Bad' file on the kindle and I'm started on a new one which will hopefully be better.
That book is In for a Penny by Rose Lerner. It's shaping up to be something of a interesting historical romance so fingers crossed.
Max has still not arrived yet. I might have to have a word with the post office.
In the meantime, I'm reading the last ever book in the Duke's Men series by Sabrina Jeffries - If The Viscount Falls. Lordy it's good!
I've really been enjoying the Romance Festival this weekend. It's great to see so much going on and since it's run from the UK, I can take part without having to get up early or stay up late! Yay for laziness!
It's on until 8pm tonight so pop over here to see what's going on today and how to join in.
Only 2 more days to go until the last in the Duke's Men series comes out and I. Cannot. Wait.
Until then, I've been trying to figure out which of the dashing Duke's Men would be my ideal match.
Luckily, I didn't have to think too hard as there's a quiz! Man, I love a quiz. Anything with questions and I'm all over it. I'm probably the only person who was so disappointed when the census was only 2 pages long! Have a go yourself, here.
Oh, and I got the delicious Max as my answer. I'm expecting delivery in 4-6 weeks.
The Great British Sewing Bee starts again this week and just in time for me - I really need some motivation to get some sewing done.
Sunday has always been a lazy day for me. A day for coffee, newspapers, family, meandering walks topped off watching a black and white film all snuggled up on the couch. Bliss.
For me, it's definitely a slippers and cosy jumper kind of day.
A former friend of mine once invited me to do something on a Sunday. Do something that means I need to dress, put make-up on and be sociable? Em - you can see why they are a former friend! If it takes effort - it won't be happening on a Sunday!
Anyway, with that in mind, I decided that I would do a easy, lazy post series that I could pop up on a Sunday with minimal effort. Thus my Sunday Supplement was born inside my head.
So, I aim to share some fun things each Sunday for every one of the 52 weeks of 2015. A bit of a daunting challenge but I'll give it a go!
This week I've chosen to read some fun short stories about New Year romance. Maybe it will give me some tips to find a man this year!!
"When you smile to the world, the world smiles back."
The new series of The Musketeers started again on Friday and what's not to love about a bit of swashbuckle at the end of a long week?
Oooh, a slow walking scene - my favourite part of any show/film.
When I plonked myself in front of the telly to watch, I decided to time how long it took before the first punch was thrown. 3 minutes, 34 seconds. Then I decided to time how long it took before the first sexy scene. 12 minutes, 23 seconds. Swashbuckle and smooching - that right there is some awesome storytelling! Is it any wonder I love this show?
. Lordy it's good!
