Rule Britannia! Britannia rules the waves...

I used to be somewhat addicted to buying magazines. It got to a point where

I was buying up to 4 mags a week. They were totally unnecessary but to be

fair they did help to beat my "mid-week blues" at College. But the

only mag that I ever actually read every page of was Company

and now it's the only magazine I ever buy!

Plus some of you may remember I blogged about Company back in January

If you've never read it I really suggest you do, it has everything from

Fashion to Homes, Real Life to Crafts...

Plus it occasionally has it's fair share of Georgey Lamb ;-)

The October issue was "The British Issue" and it really inspired

me to get making all things Britannia!

Knitted Jubilee Brooch

Union Jack and Vintage Stamp Brooch

Union Jack Felt Owl Keyring (which really didn't want to be photographed!)

Right then, I'm off down the shops to get this months Company Mag!

Let me know what you think of my latest makes :-)

Well I had an utterly terrible New Years...

It was my first 'legal' New Years, so my illness on 1st January should be that of a self-induced hangover not that of an absolutely vile sickness bug which is what I had! Turns out it wasn't food poisoning my Dad had on Christmas Day, it was this, which despite taking every vitamin known to man on Sunday Night when my Brother caught it, I still managed to end up having it on the Wednesday right through to Sunday! To be honest I still feel a little poorly!

But I suppose every cloud has a silver lining - when ill in bed I managed to thoroughly read my favourite magazine, Company and noticed that I'm in it!! OK so I'll admit it's an unnoticeable mention on page 12 in their "Best Tweet" section, but going from front page of my local newspaper age 13 to an incredible magazine is surely going up in the world??! And it made me happy when I was feeling blue :-)

Can you spot me?? (LauraLawrence77)

This Month's Company magazine (I recommend!!)

Happy 2010!!
