New creations for September 2022

 Well looking a lot like Autumn, the trees are turning and not the end of August yet! Still Autumn is one of my favourite times of year, along with Spring. The colours of the leaves are stunning when in full swing and all part of life's process.

Been working on a collection for September, not finished yet but time has got away from me and the new month arrives tomorrow.

Starting with a Jane Austen themed print in pink and black, depicting Roslings, Pemberley, Netherfield and Longbourn manor houses. Silhouettes of Regency people. Pink pom poms to embellish. 

Marie Antoinette lavender sachet decorated with oodles of lace and rose trim.

Mini desk calendars ready for 2023.

Sewing themed tags in blue or pink.

First of 6 cotton printed lavender sachets of a Queen Bee, including a matching tag.

Second set of lavender sachets as before.

Not sure will manage another 19 items for the Folksy Daily Challenge but will see how I go.

Have also been working on Birthday and Christmas gifts, almost finished just waiting for a delivery from Amazon today. While waiting may make a start on the Christmas cards to go with the gifts.

On a personal front flu jabs booked for a Saturday in September, expect to get the Covid booster reminder soon as well.

Thank you for reading, now off to my craft room to start creating. Until next time.....

New creations for August 2022

 Just looked and have not posted for ages. What have I been doing? Well lockdown for one, started off okay but then got very restrictive but did as we were told. A dreadful couple of years and still not out the woods yet.

Used some of my time to combine my workroom which was too cold in the winter and my sewing room into one. Oh boy why did I have so much stuff! Loads went to charity may regret at some point but honestly had enough to open a shop! Took the adage if not looked at or used would go. The local charity shop in the next village were very happy with my donations, they had had some real rubbish landed on their doorstep. So unfair to offload pure junk to them to have to dispose of.

Once the room was tidy found my mojo came back and started to creat, now have approx 850 items in my Folksy shop.

Today (Sunday 7th August) it is beautiful outside, clear blue sky and not a cloud in site, gentle breeze and not too hot. All that changes on Wednesday through to Saturday and the heat returns in the ‘90’s. will be sitting with fans and loads of iced water to drink.

Okay back to creating a sample of my August creations, Marie Antoinette has appeared again.  Vintage styling my favourite and as per normal found myself gravitating towards this genre again. 

I do hope you have enjoyed my journey over the past two years.

Stay safe and cool
