arrangements...

 ..one of my favourite 'things to do' is to make simple arrangements and compositions with the new arrivals to the studio...palettes of plaster pink and grey litter the studio today...

....arms flung back like Julie Andrews....

I always a feel a tad anxious when starting the foundations to a new year.  The studio has been tidied (tidyness is enough to make any creative person feel slightly unnerved-well this one most certainly).  All has been taken down from the patchwork wall and new colours are starting to be added.

New deliveries of antique lace and vintage fabrics are being washed and dyed and before even one simple stitch has been made I am starting to feel inspired-excited-giddy and ready to step into January with arms flung back like Julie Andrews.

While I indulge in creating new stock for The Linen Garden's haberdashery shop there is currently a Winter Sale - with a rather smashing 20% off -  simply type in BAUBLES at checkout....www.thelinengarden.co.uk
