Patternistic

or Pictureskew (picturesque) as my family says it! .. I like it when something catches my eye and makes me linger on it.. I often will then take a photo to remind me and hopefully recapture what I was enjoying. It is often a fleeting moment especially this one as it wasn't long before this was devoured! Pretty and tasty.. a nice way to start my wednesday!
Started the day by darning a hole on a favourite cream coloured top.. unfortunately it had a moth'ole  on the button placket. So I have done an almost self coloured darn in a circle the same size as the buttons (pretty much) and hope it will not draw too much attention.. whilst visible I would rather that than a hole.. I may embellish other parts of the top eventually to make it less obvious.. or more part of a pattern but it I will wear it out and about now it is mended rather than just on days I don't think I will be meeting people!  
I have just bought myself a leather hole punch and an eyelet stamp on ebay.. delighted as they are such useful tools when you need them even though it is a rare moment. Belts and now bookmaking for the punch and the eyelet maker is for the books.. nice to have some other ways of fastening wraps or  ways to close wrap over books. Both are good for any material be it paper or leather.. fun fun!
