March 17th may have been St Patrick's day for some of you, but if you are after something else to celebrate, then why not Pattie's day!
That's right, Pattie Boyd, the lovely 60's dollybird also celebrates her birthday on the 17th of March. As her mother had assumed she would be a boy, a name was never picked for her, so being born on the day of a saint was an easy pick! Pattie is a favourite of mine. I even made a suit in her name and managed to remember her birthday!
Hello Lovelies! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Mine was very busy – getting my hair dyed, record shopping, having lovely dinner dates with the boy and joining my friends for a crafternoon on Sunday. My dear friend is pregnant and is not too far away from popping, so we were making decorations and favors for the belly blessing. Normally you would have a baby shower but being the modern gal she is it’s a party for everyone, even the boys get to come and bless the belly.
I have of course been sewing and have something ready to photograph but must wait for the daylight on the weekend! These short daylight hours really bother me…
I've also been trying my hand at quilting and have been working on some gifts for the baby. I’ll show the photos later on as I don’t want to spoil the surprise for my friend.
Otherwise I've been reading two biographies at once – Eric Clapton’s and Marianne Faithfull’s.
I've got a sudden desire to read biographies lately, even ones I've already read and listening to a mixture of Cream, Marianne Faithfull and The Stones. When reading biographies, I like to also listen to music – usually to the one they are talking about at that moment. It helps cement the story and puts me in the moment.
Do you sometimes do the same when reading a book?
I’ll leave you for now to enjoy your Monday with some lovely Marianne in the movie Made in U.S.A
