Well…. here we are. Easter has been and gone and it’s time to enter all these numbers into the ‘hat’. Except that these numbers are going into the ‘Random Number’ generator thingy, which doesn’t seem half as exciting, but I’m sure that the result will be…. for someone. Remember the beautiful pile of Heather Bailey [...]
Beware!! This post is picture heavy. At the risk of turning my poor dear blog into a bit of a catalogue I felt honour bound to share these with you. But there is something nice at the end. My room of fabric has gained a few boxes … large boxes. O.K that’s not very interesting [...]
I’ve been a little slow in posting this, I’ve had a little trouble with my ‘image capture’ . Thank you everyone for taking part, and yes, we do have a winner of this pink lovliness. and it’s; number three and number three refers to a comment from Lyn. Congratulations Lynn. If you’d like to e-mail [...]
Today I’ve been actually testing out the pattern I’ve been working on, and I’m thrilled that it’s going well. But, really I suspect you’re more interested in the winner of the fabric… … which is Amy Lane (…. look at the cakes…… !!!) Congratulations, Amy! If you e-mail me your address I’ll get these fabrics [...]
This little beech tree in the corner of the garden is doing it’s best with autumn colour now… The squashes have been harvested…. I’m so proud of those butternuts …. The leaves are definately falling… and burying the garden… and the chickens and anything else that stands still for long. Something else which is burying [...]
I’ve been busying myself today putting together some new fabric bundles for the shop, which always gets me thinking. I know it isn’t necessarily easy when buying fabric on-line, computer monitors don’t always reflect true colours. Plus, it’s not always easy to work out how large the fabric pattern is etc…..so how can it made [...]
I’ve been on holiday….. ….a beautiful Dales Barn… .. in the Yorkshire Dales. Swaledale to be precise. It’s my favourite Dale and we’ve visisted a few. It’s rugged and quiet, lots of flat bedded rivers to … walk beside and skim stones into. Waterfalls to admre and picnic beside. … just don’t mention the midges…. [...]
I’m sorry to do this when the weather seems to have forgotten that it’s summer and it was doing so well. All those weeks of uninterrupted sunshine whilst the children were at school and now that there’s the opportunity to enjoy the lack of school routine and go out on picnics and walks in the [...]
Last week was the most appalling week. But, I’m not going to launch into one almighty rant… I need to fight the urge to stamp, scream and shout. (It would look rather silly!) Nor am I going to describe how it felt to arrive at my children’s school on Friday afternoon to find Fire engines [...]
I was talking to someone on the telephone the other day about Heather Bailey’s Bijoux and Pop Garden fabric collections. She loved the fabric as individual patterns and designs but was struggling to get her head around how to mix and match the prints together. We had a lovely conversation about this, but later I [...]
