Bright And Beautiful

The sun is shining outside and it is a beautiful spring morning. I have been for a lovely walk with the dog and I could be tempted to spend the morning pottering around the garden. However, I have things I need to do indoors, so to bring a bit of brightness inside, I thought I would share some gorgeous, bright, floral fabrics.

I have been busy cutting out hexagons so that when I have a quiet moment I can sit and hand stitch them together. I find it so soothing to hand stitch and although I love contemporary textile art, there are times when only traditional methods will do! I will be transforming these hexagons into lavender bags or pin cushions, which will appear in my Etsy shop after Easter.

Desired Things for Spring

It has been gloriously sunny this afternoon and I can feel the promise of better weather just around the corner. I had a lovely dog-walk this morning with a good friend, so we had excercise, a good chat and two happy, waggy-tailed dogs! That more than made up for the time I had to spend cleaning the house when I got back.
As I'm feeling all buoyant and good about the world, I'd like to show you a beautiful bracelet in wonderful Spring greens, from a lovely Etsy seller, desiredthings.

From desiredthings

Her work is gorgeous and because the charms are made from paper, they are incredibly light to wear.

Is Spring in The Air?

I can feel an almost imperceptible change in the air, we have had a little sunshine (I much prefer cold, crisp, bright days to all the grey weather we've been having) and the days are getting ever so slightly longer. I'm hoping the snow is over for this winter and I'm determined to get outside more.

We still need to wrap up warm, so here are a few gorgeous items from lovely Etsy sellers, that would be perfect for chilly outdoor adventures.
