I have even got the youngest hand sewing some pieces of fabric together to make a new cushion cover for his room - bless! He's made a good start and for someone who has never picked up a needle and thread before, I think he's done a good job!
Our kitchen window looked rather bland and having such a big window I thought I would soften it with a good old faithful bit of patchwork! (note the lack of snow). Better call it a day now on the amount of patchwork now in the house!
A few weeks ago I picked up a couple of pretty cups and saucers, both for a mere 50p.
We were in desperate need for some new place mats and this brand new set of 6 at £2.00 was a bargain. I love the cottages and would quite happily settle in any one of them.
What would be your dream home?

Love that patchwork and well done to your young man for having a go. Get them started young thats the way!
I rather like the look of the last cottage, though if we're talking dream homes it would have to be something Georgian that looks like it popped straight out of a Jane Austen novel (but not too big, please!). We too fired up the woodburner and enjoyed a cosy time snuggled near it, even if the amount and quality of snow wasn't what I'd have hoped for!

Oooh! I am very envious of your lovely cottage mats.
The patchwork curtains are gorgeous....and well done to your boy on his sewing.I used to teach at a nursery and the boys used to enjoy the sewing as much as the girls. :0)
aahh your curtains are lovely patchwork is addictive ;-)) Lovely cottages, i would love a little fishermans cottage by the sea with a little garden that i could grow vegetables but still be able to have my vintage furniture in. Or a small 1950's house with all orignal features ;-) Have a lovely week, dee x
