I'm so excited to have got my hands on some beautiful washi masking tape! I ordered it from UGUiSU online store, and it speedily arrived by air mail! Even the packaging was super cute and stuck of course with little strips of masking tape. The other little package in the top picture is a secret (a little pressie for D), wish I could show that as well but I don't want to spoil the surprise.
I choose the colours as I thought they would look good with brown paper or some paper bags I have hidden away somewhere with a wood grain print on. I love wrapping presents for people and I think with these tapes I'm going to have even more fun!
I made this bunting a while ago, from the Boden catalogue, I thought it was rather sweet as they gave you all the lovely printed triangles - you just had to cut them out and stick on some string. It's been hanging in our lounge ever since.
Since they keep sending catalogues (and I've only ever bought one pair of shoes) I thought I'd best find a use for them. So why not make more bunting using all their lovely patterns, just little this time! Hence the pile of little triangles, just need to string them up.
Here they are fluttering around my desk, I've still got loads of little triangles left so might add a few more strings of them in the future.
I've had a cold all week, so instead of going into the office and spreading my germs I've been working from home, till yesterday. Yesterday was my first day of leaving the house since Sunday, so I decided to make the most of it by popping across the river at lunchtime to the south bank. My first stop as always over there is the southbank centre shop, it's always full of lovely things and they change them quite regularly so it's always worth a visit.
I fell in love with Donna Wilson's Meg cushions, another thing to add to my wish-list as well as gazing longingly at the Marimekko cups, plate and bowls. But I was good and resisted buying any of these lovely things apart from the little fancy pictured! How could I resist that, so small, so cute and so perfect for our tree!
After, I popped very quickly into the Royal Festival Hall where in the foyer was part of an exhibition 'Art by Offenders, Secure Patients and Detainees'. I had a quick wizz round and it was really interesting, I'm hoping to pop back next week and see the rest of the exhibition downstairs somewhere.
