Finally, I have had another creative day where I can work and get the prototype of a lavender bag made that has been floating around my head for the past couple of weeks! I had knitted the flower last winter in the hope of making a brooch, but never got around to it and so this was another idea I had! Think it works really well with the linen I have found. Filled it with homegrown lavender that has been saved in my pantry over the winter waiting for willing projects to be used in.

Had hoped I had won the lottery yesterday and so could retire early, but no such luck. Ah well , never mind ;0)

Happy Easter

I had to prune the contorted hazel in the garden and these are the cuttings. Offering these to my sister she has come up with an Easter tree and so voila a joint effort in our lovely Easter decoration. Primroses and violets from the garden too, in little Cox and Cox name place vases, and lovely little decorations from a fab shop in Ludlow, As You Like It.

Heart Bunting

I have had this in my head for ages and have finally got around to making it this week!!! Fabulous bird and tree papers cut of into hearts and sewn together on the sewing machine with some silk threads.

Must try and make more...time seems to be flying by all the time.

My Little Fortuny Fabrics Exhibition

Finally have had the time to frame and hang my lovely Fortuny pieces that were my 30th birthday present from my fab sister. All bought in Venice on a fantastic holiday!
