Look at all the lovely sewing/cooking related goodies I ended up with this year!
I got a lovely Levi Roots desserts book which will no doubt feature in its own blog post in the future, I am eyeing up the molten chocolate puddings recipe already.
I got this lovely scarf from my Mum who bought it at an antiques fair and she thinks it may well be quite old. I'm not too sure but the sequins on it are quite different to ones I had seen before, they are more domed rather than flat.
My brother and my now fiancée both bought me the Burda Style Handbook which was my own fault as I had mentioned it to both of them without realising it. Basically it has one pattern for each garment with directions then it has lots of ways to alter and change them up.
Some shots from the book

 |
| Dress- The pale blue and the cute bow one call my name here |
 |
| Coat- Gorgeous navy coat with a hood here |
 |
| Bags - Loving the Gertie cane handled one and the hearts |

I am in love with this dress from Casey's blog and I am so happy there is a how to in the book for this!
I also got the Colette book from my brother. Colette is so popular with bloggers and as yet I have not got my hands on one of their patterns yet. I think it is good value for money too as you get five lovely patterns included. |

| Truffle |
I really want to make the Truffle pattern, it is so gorgeous! I have in fact already ordered some fabric with the intention of making it up for my finance's sisters wedding.
