Gifts I made....

Here are a few pictures of gifts that I made this year for Christmas. I made quite a few pillowcases, the tractor one is for my grandfather, while the remaining two were for my husband. I wasn't looking for the Doctor Who fabric but while at the fabric store I saw it and couldn't resist. Both my husband and I are fans. I also just bought a regular kitchen towel and sewed fabric on it as a gift. Did you make any gifts?

What have I been up too?

I haven't been on here lately, but here are a few things that I have been busy doing:

Making quite a bit of homemade bread and mini rolls as you can see below

I have been getting back to doing some crafts;

For those Doctor Who fans, it reads Books are like Tardises, Bigger on the Inside.

I have actually gotten more done on this music cross stitch, but haven't taken another picture yet. 

I am currently reading these books:

Classic Club Spin...and tv shows

The number chosen for the classic club spin was 6, so I have started reading The Railway Children. I still need to get back to reading The Heart of Darkness too as well for my regular classic club book (I have been a little slow on reading it).

Lately, I have started watching some BBC shows (as well as those taking place in the UK) and really enjoyed them. Unfortunately most of them are now off the air in the UK so no new episodes, but still I enjoy the reruns that are aired here in the states. I have even gotten some of them on DVD, books that were the original inspiration of the show, and sadly even one show is not available for region 1 dvd (so sad). Here are the shows, does anyone else have some favorite new shows they have found?

Amazon has Black Books available for instant viewing.

Sadly the DVD's for Ladies of Letters is only available for region 2. However, at least the book that was the inspiration for the tv show is available to read!

Love this show, which combines mystery drama with gardening in various ways. I couldn't resist getting all of the seasons of Rosemary and Thyme.

We watched all ten seasons of this MI-5, and sadly missing that there will not be any new ones.

At least we are still able to enjoy watching Dr. Who.

Love this series about rural life in the UK during the 1800's, can't wait to read the book.

 

Can't wait until the new season of Foyle's War comes on and that of Downton Abbey!
