happy sewing

 

Can you believe the weather is still so hot & sunny! I can't wait to finish work each day, to spend the evenings outside. I love eating dinner in the garden and then going for a long walk over the meadow.

I have been sewing too and I've just finished some more of these sewing cases. I’ve made this one from lovely paisley fabric with a vintage lace trim and a ribbon tie.

Inside the felt pages you will find everything you need for a spot of sewing; colourful  threads, vintage buttons, hooks & eyes, needles & pins, seed beads, safety pins, lace and a few mini floral decorations.

I've added this one to my Etsy Shop ....happy sewing!

oh so pretty

 

I'm going to be spending the next few days (and weeks) happily sewing away, as I have loads to do before my open studio exhibition starts on the 18th May. For details of my show click here, It would be lovely if you could make it! There are lots of other artists and craft people exhibiting in Oxfordshire Artweeks throughout the month of May, it's really inspiring to see what other people have been creating and their studio spaces.

 

I'm so pleased that you all liked my little vintage collage pictures, thanks for your lovely comments  x

The other day I was given an old ice cream container with a note saying 'I hope these will come in useful' from a lovely lady who came to my open studio exhibition. To my delight when I opened the box, there was a selection of buttons and needles all on their original packaging. 

Here are a few of my favourites. Thank-you x

I'm away for a week or so.... off to the coast.....catch up when I get back.
