Monday Craft Day

It's that time again Monday Show and Tell and Handmade Monday, where does the week go? Not much creating this week more visiting my favourite fabric shop in Sturminster Newton, Hansons Fabrics and Craft, pure bliss if you love all things sewing, wall to wall fabric, lace, beads and more and the journey through the New Forest was fun as well, all the ponies.

Afternoon Tea

Amelia Rose

& just in case

So as not to upset Lee (DH) on to Frome (Froom) for him to visit his favourite 60's record collectors shop 'Raves from the Graves' nestled up a small street with a stream running down the middle. I enjoyed some cinnamon toast and coffee whilst waiting.



and finally a Marie Antoinette decorative cushion, with handmade organza roses and leaves, filled with fibrefill and pose pot pourri and must not forget the Swarovski crystals to pin up her skirt.

Marie Lace and Crystal necklace, machined lace centre, topped with Swarovski crystals, flowers, satin bow, crystal embedded heart with satin and organza cording.

From Marie to modern times....

Been on a roll this week and seem to have been making for England. Continuing on with the Marie theme a delightful framed mini bag in blue and gold print with a white fancy lace top, embellished with a crown, Swarovski crystals and a glass heart

Rose scented sachets with a detachable crown charm

PDF Pattern now available on my website for the craft/tidy tote bag along with the finished sample as shown for sale


Something I have been thinking of for a while then filed at the back of my mind until reminded by a friend recently and ipad holder/bag, shown in dark brown cord with a red fleece lining

A bit more fun in mint and white spot, lined with green print fabric and button detail

Kindle and Nintendo holders to follow.

Monday Blog

Another week into the New Year, soon be thinking of Christmas in July, in between looking forward to the Spring these long dark days have gone on long enough, the Inspirativity event is in full swing, the hall is filling up with Artisans and Therapists, some wonderful displays expected.

Launched my Lavender Collection last week now for something a little different the

Marie Antoinette Collection

A much maligned and often misunderstood Queen of France, popularity in all things
Marie Antoinette has grown, maybe down to the film of the same name, she has now found
favour in many hearts across the world. Just a taster of things to come:

Working on a Marie Antoinette pillow with her dressed draped in organza and rose buds...

& back to more creative routes, a silk and organza necklace, the flowers are handmade with a pearl centre, love these colours and great fun to make and wear, corsages next....
