Just between you and I like, yes, let's please keep it a secret... I can be quite a girly blouse when it comes to storms. Loud claps of thunder have been known to make me squeal- quietly like ;-). I try not to be too overtly dramatic because I would like my boys to grow up feeling strong, safe and secure in their own company, no matter what the situation. So I hide being a big chicken... and I get the giggles instead! Fierce lightening does kind of get the heart racing, wouldn't you agree?
With all the stormy weather at the weekend, there wasn't too much deck chair revamping going on so I turned my decorating focus indoors instead. I made this Rosette for the family -wall/ vignette using the lace from my mother's wedding dress which was also used as a hair piece for my wedding. I heart antique lace, it is so beautifully made! I hand printed a number 7 on it because 7 is a number that always seems to just pop up. Both my mother's and my birthday are both on the 7th, Oliver (my eldest) is born on the 17th and August (my baby- well he's not really anymore) is born on the 27th. So I feel 7 is a very lucky number for my family! Do you have a lucky/ favourite number?

| Ok, it was raining but the other thing I discovered is that I think large fat twine balls make the best pencil holders! |

That lace is gorgeous.
I'm born on the 7th too, so it's my luck number also.

That rosette is fab and the wine pencil holder would be great on a craft station. I have to say I love a good storm, as long as everything pretty well stays intact.

Cute rosette and twine holder Rach! Those storms were pretty nasty over the weekend so I think you would be forgiven for the odd squeal ;)
