Thank you so much for your wonderful and inspiring comments on my florals post and the wearing of them. I thought the comment from
Shabbily By The Sea was very touching...." If a hundred year old walled garden can can wear roses then why can't we? " So true Kristina.
Well I have been nosing at fashion magazines and actually it seems, florals are the *in* thing at the moment. Many of the catwalks have pretty florals gracing them and I enjoyed reading
this post on
Fashion Urbia Hey blogettes, maybe we have started something with this floral thing ;0) As I mentioned, I love to wear the floral cardigan I photographed in my last post, and here I am wearing it. I don't post photographs of me often, so please be gentle....
I was featured in a lovely magazine that is local to my area and surrounding towns and villages. The article was about blogging and my love of handmaking what I call my
pretties I use the word a lot, I think I first used it on my blog
here gosh one of my first posts back in 2008. I really enjoyed chit chatting with the friendly editor of the magazine at my home, and I have to say, I have had lovely feedback ( even my super postman said he enjoyed reading it ) I was quite tickled that my photograph, on the contents page, was bigger than
Sir Alex Ferguson's ;0)
It actually has been somewhat of a Mary Poppins week, first my little article in this months Tesco magazine, then on the same day as this magazine's release, I was on the television. It was the repeat of my Bargain Hunt episode, where I appeared as a contestant with my lovely
friend in 2009. I didnt realise it was on until it was nearly over, and some people who didnt get to see it first time round, said they really enjoyed it and it looked like we had a ball, we certainly did !! We even made it on to their 25th anniversary edition last year, those bloomin' candleabra's are famous I tell you....
So after all the lovely attention I have had, I am hoping for a quiet week, in my own little world, making pretties and getting on with life and all that it brings. I have been getting into more of a sunnier disposition, and holding off buying that light box as the sun has been a peeping on occassion, and very much lifting my mood. Though she is obviously a little shy and hasn't been back since. Come on Sun I miss you....
So back to the chine it is, I enjoyed making these pretties....:0)
Pretty cushions....
Sweet fabric covered notebooks....
And Oh so pretty bags....
Is it wrong that I want to keep everything I make ;0)
Hope you are having a good week whatever you are up to, going to go for a blog moochy to see what your news is....
