Show and Tell Monday

Show and Tell Monday with Make Mine Pink

Another week and Autumn is here, fires being lit, smell of burning pinecones, crackling and hissing logs and only 82 days until Christmas, only seems like 5 minutes ago packing away the decorations for another year in January.

Victorian Etc
an online magazine

I have won the web category for Art and Craft so if you can find the time to vote for me daily to hopefully win the grand prize would be eternally grateful, this award is a great honour.



A busy week ahead with a meeting at the end of the week with my crafting buddy Jill to view The Kiln, a possible venue for our Inspirativity events, hand crafted and pamper days with refreshments of homemade cakes and light lunches. We have been discussing this new
business venture for some time and feel 2011 with the UK Craft & Design* month in
May would be the perfect time.

Craft and craft selling is changing in the UK with events opening up to give a different approach to the normal church hall venues, customers are expecting more and now want an experience, so out with the old and in with the new unique, stress free atmosphere sometimes associated with high street shopping, easy parking and quality made local crafts.

Craft & Design Month May 2011*

A creative weekend, the sun was shining, the mornings crisp, what is better than to spend the weekend sewing inside in the warm.

Colours of Autumn

The day's are getting shorter, the leaves are turning, squirrels are storing nuts for the winter months ahead. Crisp mornings, a sun with no warmth spells the onset of Autumn. Born in October I love the Autumnal mornings and apart from the rain the cooler weather, the build up to a magical Christmas.

My offering for the Colours of Autumn is a silk patchwork bag, embroidered with leaves, lined with cream an ideal size for the evening.

Silk Stripe Clutch

Show and Tell Monday with MMP

The weather is changing and Autumn is almost here, crisp mornings with a nip in the air that really does not disappear through out the day. Hunting for the sun for a smidgeon of warmth is getting harder, will soon be lighting the fire. In some ways I welcome this time of year with the anticipation of Christmas just around the corner, decorations up and lights twinkling, shops giving way to the sparkle, glitter and magic of gifts to come.

Until then a silk stripe flower clutch purse, in colours more reminiscent of the summer or they could be cool as a glacier, would look good with in the evening summer or winter.


Add either the blue or pink wrap for a perfect outfit for any occasion

Inspiration

Over a period of many years I have cut out and collected pictures/articles from magazines, keeping them in pretty journals for a rainy day or when needing some inspiration.
Love to look at the designs and colours, how what is in fashion rotates in a circle, frequently ending up where it started. Had a wonderful day on Sunday relaxing and browsing through 4 of my packed to the brim journals, remembering the years past and what I was doing at the time.


Having tidied my sewing room, so the sofa is now visible, I have a special place to sit and dream and get some inspiration for a week of stitching ahead.
