A few new purchases...

When DH retired in 2009, he put some money aside to start a 'new car' account. The idea was that he would replace the car in the next few years after retirement. But Camille Camry just 'kept on going on'. But after his recent health scare, DH decided that maybe he should finally get that new car especially with these 'plate sales' that the dealers were offering on 2014 models...big savings. 

So it wasn't long before Carlotta Camry arrived...DH said this new car was 'racier' than the previous car, so deserved what he considered a 'racier' name! Lol. 

Now at the same time I did a bit of shopping...online from Ava and Neve, a shop at North Lakes specialising in Liberty fabrics. 

A more modest purchase compared to DH perhaps but there is a link...however tenuous :-)

I will be cutting some hexagons from these fabrics for a couple of upcoming projects and when we took delivery of 'Carlotta', DH didn't notice...but I did!! Look at the upholstery fabric of the seats...hexies! 

We've since covered up the front seats with seat covers, but the seat in the back is still hexie themed!
