Mmm, tonight I am drinking beer from our recent holiday in Bruges so here are some pics from a tour we took of the De Halve Mann Brewery in Bruges

Ooops, I didn’t have time to post yesterday. I was too tired to to do anything after work last night except watch Ugly Betty!

Today my mum visited us on a day trip from the Isle of Wight (thanks mum!). We went for lunch at a great gastro-pub in Winchmore Hill and she helped me with my knitting. She also helped me understand the instructions that came with my bias tape maker and got to grips with the fabric button kit.

No pics of my mum advising us on the garden or making more curtains. Instead a photo of a great sign from the Begijnhof in Bruges I took a couple of weeks ago.

I was lucky enough to win a copy of Green is the New Black in a giveaway on the Make London blog the other week. The book arrived today and looks great so it is packed in my Orla Kiely weekend bag. Monday is our three year anniversary so I’m ready to be whisked off for a romantic break in Bruges, just waiting for the boyfriend to come and get me. Included with the book were some discount vouchers for the first workshop I book at the make lounge, so I will be looking for courses as soon as I get back!

Also packed are my knitting and my half finished Stanley dog, just in case I have any spare time between drinking Belgium beer and looking for some vintage shops.
