3 cushions....

I have listed 3 of my last V for Violet cushions in the V for Violet Etsy shop at a bargain price today. A whole $10 off!!They include the gorgeous china girl fabric above and my favourite stripey fabric, wonderfully named 'pink lemonade'! which has now all sadly been used up. Then there is the green geometric with polka dots:-and finally the summer dahlia fabric, a print I never tire of. All 3 have pom pom trims and a duck feather filled inner pad. They measure 16" x 12" and if you are outside the UK, I am happy to sell you the cover only to save on postage, just email.

Now, back to the on-going sewing!! xx

Colour, colour everywhere..and a bit of nostalgia...

Another beauty from the garden - unfortunately these don't last very long as they are so heavy but they make me stop and smile on the way to the washing line.

Did some tidying today and was struck by how this scene could have been from years ago - there was something really 1940's about it -

That step really needs some attention! Only job number 968 then!

Anyway, back to brighter thoughts - I tidied my fabric stash today too - it doesn't last long when I'm busy choosing colours, but for a brief moment in time it looks like this:

I just love the yummy potential there - just looking at those colours gives me ideas - especially loving the polka dot. I must confess to a real weakness for polka dots.

Now I've shown you 2 parts of my little sewing room - if only the rest were as presentable, oh well, tomorrow is another day.... one section at a time. The early worm ....catches the monkey.... you know what I mean.

a little bit of studio

Just thought I'd show you around a little :-this is one side of my little studio, about as tidy as it gets! I know I am very lucky to have a little studio - mind you, I've had to fight to get it, the little room that I now call my own has previously been the children's playstation den, a little tv room, and even the cats' room. Now though, it's mine all mine!

I will show you more when it's presentable but for now, here is one corner. The 70's telephone was another very lucky find in my favourite charity shop, the clock was my Grandad's and the painting was done by my late Grandma.Our house is a constant battle to tidy and de-clutter so the odd corner which looks 'sorted' is to be cherished. It doesn't last very long. I don't know where it comes from but 'stuff' tends to gather and move around inside our house a bit like flotsam, coming and going from room to room like the tide of an ocean.

Just had to show you this beautiful little blue flower - not sure what it is but I walked past it on the way to hang the washing out and went back to get the camera. Isn't it just gorgeous in all it's stripey blueness. Maybe some clever person out there will know the proper name.
