The eighth autumn stitching club pattern that I've completed is this yummy stack of doughnuts! I don't really associate doughnuts with autumn time, but they are a good idea any time of the year so it's okay. When I was little and I had a stomach bug my mum would buy me jam doughnuts because that's the only thing I could eat. Most of the recipes on my "food" pinterest board are doughnut based, so maybe

Here's pattern 7 of the autumn stitching club, this cute little loaf of bread! I have actually never made bread myself, which is odd because it seems like something I would do and autumn seems like the perfect time to do it! Before christmas I aim to make a loaf of bread.
In other news, I had a lovely time at the Birmingham bloggers meet-up yesterday chatting to Cara, Selina, Elizabeth and Leah.

I've already had my second of the season. This toffee apple recipe was one of the first posts I ever did on this blog, and I'm thinking of cooking some soon.

I have a confession to make - I've never tried a pumpkin spice latte. The next time I'm in a city I'll make sure to pick one up so I can see what all the hype's about. For the meantime, I'll just be sewing pumpkin spice lattes instead, since this is the most recent pattern for the Autumn Stitching Club. My favourite thing about this pattern is the little pumpkin - isn't he cute!

I find car boot sales so exciting. You never know what you might find, and everything is so cheap! When I stay at my Grandparent's house I always try to make it to the Guildford car boot sale with my dad. The last time we went, I picked up this velvet mirrored waistcoat for £2. I think it's amazing - I love the embroidery detail - and it looks great over shift dresses :) This white dress is one of
