Splashes of colour

Morning all - my, how the weeks are flying by - half way through the summer holidays already.  Eek....


During the mad bustle of last week, a lovely little gift popped through the letterbox, and it certainly did a lot to cheer up the day!  I took part in Pay it Forward which Jane from Marigold Jam was doing.


What arrived was a set of pretty pouches which Jane had adorned with decorative touches.  Inside each pouch was a little treat - seeds, soap, and a lovely bookmark with one of her handmade Dorset buttons added to it. Thanks Jane!

I finally got round to uploading my photo's of the fabric I bought at Tikki in Kew a couple of weeks ago.  There was so much choice, it was a job selecting my favourite's.  I'm sure I'll find plenty to do with this lot!

At the till, I couldn't help but buy this ball of wall - no ordinary ball of wall as it's only diddy - standing at a mere 2.5" high.  More for looking at rather than using!

Having worked 24 out of 48 hours getting orders completed over Friday/Saturday, I felt I was due a break yesterday so set to making a cushion with individual Yo-Yo's sewn on.  I've also added vintage buttons to each one.  I wish I had done them slightly smaller, but I'm happy with the finished article.

Right, onwards with a variety of activities this week.  We're then off on a little jaunt, which includes a trip to The Vintage at Goodwood Festival, a trip which I'm very excited about! 


I'll say au revoir for now and will catch up with you all soon.


Toodle Pip.
