More coat pics and a handy tip

Hi gang! This week has run away with me. I'm sure you all know that feeling. 

The seasons too are slipping by and in fact London is now feeling wonderfully spring like, in fact it is warm enough to go without a coat if you are just venturing out during the day

So before it gets far too warm, I do have two more snow pics to share.

The first is another photo of the coat that I'm working on. Some of you were interested on seeing it with the collar open, and here it is in all it's glory...

Look! Pockets!

And...
Did you know, there is a clever little way to stop a run in your stockings from spreading?

Simply dab a little clear nail polish at both ends!
Let it dry while holding it like this so that the polish doesn't stick two sides of the stocking together. It works a treat.

I hope you all have a great weekend.

I have been busy at Heyday, working with Fleur de Guerre to bring you something special!

Have a great weekend.
