Okay, I've been ploughing through the Nieves site and can't resist sharing some more spreads from the books they have on offer. I am ridiculously inspired right now. The most recent books I have made (not so recent) have all been in a similar, simple format and I love it! I have two so far and would like to make a whole pile of them. I have been a bit busy lately however, so I haven't been able to make much work, and this is why:

I haven't mentioned it yet, for fear of jinxing it (I'm not superstitious usually) but I have just bought a flat! A beautiful flat in the London commuter belt. It's great because I have always wanted to live in the countryside and this way I get the best of both worlds. We move in tomorrow so it's going to be a busy weekend. When I have it all sorted out I'll post some pictures.

Have a nice weekend everyone!

Beauchamping

I just stumbled over Beauchamping's Etsy Shop and I'm completely in love with it. I like Homestead the best - it's no secret I'm a bit of a homebody. I also stumbled over this little gem from Roll and Tumble Press. Shall I buy it?
