April and should be Spring

 Looking out the window on the 1st April and all I can see is rain, however the tete a tete's happy faces are there. Cheering what would otherwise be a dreary day.

Not posted in a while and admit have let my blog go but instead of a New Year resolution a spring one to start with posts of what I hope the coming month will bring.

Today sorting my accounts for the year end. See what has sold and what has not, then decisions to make. In the meantime I have got an ongoing sale of a lot of stock, check out the image below:



On My Machine

Hooped ready to go is a cream organza, the plan to stitch a pretty design and make into bridal wrist decoration tied with cream ribbon.

Other creations planned for April

Some more needle keepers but this time trying with fabric, these sold out last time and are so handy when needle working.

Ephemera packs. Love vintage style ephemera and the plan to make some more of these, have proved very popular in the past.

Now this will take sometime but a fabric journal with lots of dainty rose embroideries, lace, tuck spots, pockets and places to write your thoughts. This is something that will be created page by page in between lots of new paper creations.

Easter to look forward to and DH's Birthday about 2 weeks later. 

We have started a new project in the garden. After trying to regrow the grass under the trees for the last few years to no avail, have given up and ordered some recycled flexiborder edging. Should be here by Monday and weather permitting will get that in place. On the 10th going to the farm shop to order some shingle, this area will have stepping stones for pots and Campanula planted in amongst the stones I love this little plant, a burst of colour and spreads so well. The ones we have on the garden have doubled in a year.


Still looking for a solar water feature but struggling to find the right one. There is one out there that will appear just when we need it.

Okay that is it from me will post again on the 1st May and see what I have or not! achieved the past month.

Happy Spring
