Emerging from my office...

It's been a bit of a non-stop week so taking a little moment to share some of my Instagram photos.

Last week was all about getting my projects prepped and made for my May blog post over on the Hey Little Magpie blog.

It involved a trip to Hobby Craft armed with this piece of paper to try and match the colours for the PL pages I still wanted to make:

Well, an evening of catch-up telly followed and the paper I wanted to use for my PL page was all stitched and ready to go:

Naturally there were of course plenty of cards to go with the PL pages:

And I now have another pile of cards to sort into my card basket - I did very well the other week to get these all matched up with envelopes and baggies:

Friday night was dinner and movie night - Miss A joined us for dinner, she also brought her mad expressions too!

And was very happy with the pizza she insisted she wanted for her tea:

(thankfully Miss A's dad joined us in time to polish off what was left so us ladies of a more advanced age could get to our movie)

The weekend also involved a bit of an impulse purchase on ebay.

A Remington Holiday vintage typewriter from the 60s/70s that looked ok on the image and was described as having plenty of ribbon left and all the keys working.

He's not in the best of nick and came complete with a few dead spiders in the case and wrapped in with the machine - if it had been me, I'd have at least given it a hoover before sending it off. But hey ho - now I just need to find somewhere that sells compatible ribbon and get some compressed air to blast out what my vigorous hoovering and cleaning didn't shift last night.

Currently Mr Typewriter is out in the fresh air and sun where I am hoping some of the musty smell of the shed he was kept in will be blown out.

I only really wanted a typewriter for my journaling on PL cards, etc. - hopefully he will be up to the job, and I was never going to spend serious money on a typewriter so I'll see how it goes. Just rather miss my Tomy petite typewriter I had when I was little. He was fab!

I love your stitching on the paper and the cards! TFS
