butterflies

I've been working on lots of lovely things for my etsy shop, some handmade vintage Christmas cards and some pretty little floral brooches. I can't wait to show you. I've been trying to take some decent photos, but it's been so dark and gloomy lately, I'm waiting for some winter sunshine.

So every spare moment I have, I'm stitching, beading, sticking and sewing my way through my days.

 

papilio paris

Sunday's here! The more relaxed day of the week, no rushing out the door to try and catch my bus to work....instead a chance to tidy up, finish off some cards and take some photos to share with you.

The beautiful butterfly, 'Papilio Paris' was a present from my boyfriend and the books I bought from a charty shop last week.

 I'm trying to teach myself the names of wild flowers, I love the faded and slightly old fashioned illustrations.

Have a lovely Sunday.

wedding weekend

 The weekend has been and gone. The wedding was lovely, the sun was shining and everybody was happy celebrating the couples big day. (sorry no photos, very busy day, but thank you for the nice comments about my dress.) Champagne flowed and we all danced into the night....

On Sunday morning after a hearty wedding breakfast at the hotel, we spent a lazy day in the sun at my parents house. It was a prefect day for a long walk across the fields and flowers meadows around the village. It really felt like summer, with butterflies, bees and swallows drifting and darting through the sky.
