when you are away from your family and your husband sends you a photo
filled with cuteness - that is most certainly 'a sunday sigh'......

whispers of freedom and unplanned stitches......
I can't begin to tell you how satisfyingly delightful the last 7 days have been, they have brought a calming wave of contentment as I have escaped into my own little world making bits and bobs...taking time out in the garden....just sitting in the house an denjoying a quiet moment with a brew and a little tower of books...a visit to York car boot (my favourite and most giddy place to shop). Escaping into a self indulgent world happens very little - but when it does I appreciate every whisper of freedom and every stitch unplanned. I will not bamble you with over excited words but just leave you with snapshots of how a little period of time has been seen through my eyes.....

Off on my travels again from North to South.....I will be exhibiting with The Linen Garden (old fabrics and haberdashery)
and a collection of my floral makings too

Would be wonderful to see you there - leave a comment if you are going - it will be lovely to meet you. xxx

a sunday sigh
...this pretty watercolour moved into the house this weekend - I bet
it can tell some stories through its travels before it reached my abode.
I will cherish it forever.

the making table
I have been trying to make some form of wall garland for the house for a while...been spending five minutes here and there and then placing little snippets of compositions away in a bowl as I never have much time for 'play'.
Then last week I took them all out from hiding and spent a couple of hours making a few more and it all got a little out of control. So not only have I made a little metre or two for myself...but have made a small gathering for The Linen Garden shop too....
...and here is how my week has looked on the ol' making table....you may want to make a coffee there are a fair few images....
....and now I have decided to make some more - or maybe they will just hang around on the wall for a while being rather cheery....
...there is a new Home Sweet Home section to The Linen Garden Shop if you fancy a little interior indulgence...

a sunday sigh
....whether bought, cheekily snipped from the hedgerow or hand picked from the garden - there is always a small posy or a towering vase of flowers in the house...this weekend I rescued an armful of snippets from the rain and treated myself to a small bunch of sweet william from the market....brightened up a rather dull weekend.
