Sunday Musings.........

Do you ever get the urge to do some baking, I do.  Sunday morning , I decided to bake some cakes for the family,  Peanut Butter Slice.  The middle layer is the Damson Jam which we made last autumn.  I am not allowed any as I am still trying to battle the bulge but I am told they are delicious.

My sister's wedding day is getting closer and I have now finished the bag I promised to make for my 6 year old niece, who is going to be a flower girl.  It is made with a plain base fabric,and I have applied layers of net, organza and old lace.  A few little pearl beads and silk flowers. I hope she likes it

                                             Here is a close up to show a bit more detail.........

February......

It's here and I am so pleased, It feels like we are leaving the winter behind and spring is just around the corner.  I am patiently waiting for the crocus's in the garden to flower so I shall content myself with this image until they show their colourful flowers........

I bought this book from a well known book discount stores last week, it was very cheap.  It is one of those books with lots of information, handy hints and tips, old and new.  A bargain. 

Having finished the favours last week for my friends wedding it is time to start thinking of the next ones.  My sister is getting married in April and I am going to make favours for her wedding.  It is a smallish affair, I have 20 to make.  She is having a bit of a vintage theme, so I have started to make the fabric myself with silk and old lace , it is filled with dried lavender ,this is the prototype.

It's finally finished

My summer bunting is finally finished, I can't believe how long it has taken. 

  It's up in the studio......                                        

I have been making cushions out of tea towels and added them to my bought ones.......

Looks Like I have got a collection going on, oh dear!
