getting back

Schools out for summer!
Lets just leave the fact that it has been quite a long while for me and blogger...
Here I am, and the summer holidays have arrived for one tired teacher fabric seller. With life throwing me some curve balls of late, which I have caught, ducked and been hit by, its time to get my sewing love back. Firstly I asked a friend of mine and very talented photographer to take some pictures of some of my fabrics. Cath really is great and I am so pleased with the results!

In the pink...

It was a lovely sunny day and we made the most of it and took some fabrics outside. These will hopefully be replacing old pictures on my website soon, to give it a little re vamp.

I have also ordered some new fabrics which should be arriving any day now. while another order has come in. and oh how I love then

This is Robert Kaufman beauty and I am using it to inspire me to make something. I am now of to look at blogs and catch up with everyone.

Happy days!

mouse light, builders and fabric

Hello to all. I do you are all enjoying the tiny little rays of sunshine that have been poking through the clouds at last. I love the fact that i finally have some colour coming out in my garden but tonight i am concentrating on inside.
I went to Brighton last week to see a friend i haven't seen for 20 years. It was fabulous seeing her and although we have chatted on the phone, it felt it had just been a few months. I also got to look round the shops and couldnt resist this beautiful (well tacky but wonderful - i think!) deer head light. i have it behind my bar for a proper cocktail experience.

 Work has started on removing the rather foul downstairs toilet, and when thats done i can get some carpet and wooden floor down, which will be a massive relief as i think it will mean i am almost done in home improvements.

 More fabric arrived  - all safely packed away from the work - i will show in detail soon i hope. My website is coming along and i really cant wait to show of some of it.... but look out for
miss gingers

Frank is so excited too...... ha ha!

A bit of baking and clearing fabric

 And should maybe not have made these raspberry triffle cupcakes

 or the lemon merangue ones..

But they did taste good and we all need a break.
