Nutscene-pink-twist-twine

even the name sounds delicious - I've loved styling and stranding my string...

striking

I love the patterns my son creates from his new dominos... random colour order and almost random design



blue skies...

(almost!) endless blue skies this summer have inspired a quick fix painted blue (existing) shelf for my bathroom
I'm happy - something so quick and simple..
... and cheap - I just added a blob of blue acrylic to some white eggshell both of which I had drying out in rusted tube/ tin in the garage - have made such a difference!


naked soles...

I love these barefoot sandals, they look so gorgeous on tanned feet (my daughter's here - not mine sadly!!) - this pattern here (for free) I've adapted from this brilliant pattern and from this facebook feed...

perfumed ladies

how we've loved picking through pretty petals to create floriferous haut couture with a vintage vibe for May's peg dollies... fleeting though they were a most pleasing moment in time!


lovely loved egg

I bought some eggs from a local hen keeper and simply adore the way the date has been written lovingly on each egg - the gentle touch

bonny babies...

... are all the talk at the moment so may I add mine & a special offer to celebrate the royal birth and mark the special date 22nd July - this baby pattern available here and here is marked down 22% and will be available at this price for 22 days - from today Thursday 25th July to Friday 16th August -
will yours be a boy or a girl?



Geewizz!

... thousands of metres of yarn,
... extensive clickety clicks of my needles,
... copious man hours later...
I've finished my knitted alphabet x 2 (26 small, 26 medium/ large)
- the book is due out in the autumn so watch this space!
In the meantime - perhaps crochet letters - mmm!

for my Johnnie...

20 years married today!

May - you are the sweetest...

some things just make your heart melt!

"Happy Independence Day!"

...to all my american friends!

vintage-ness

vintage wondrousness at Trevoole Farm a real treasure & well worth a visit.
Totally inspiring and creative
- as you can tell I was completely spellbound and in awe when we went to see it on Sunday
- & that was in the rain!

have a happy day dads!
