Had a great time this weekend doing a photo shoot with my sister. 
It makes such a difference seeing my aprons being modelled. I really please with the results.








A big thank you to Anne-marie Sullivan!

I've been busy making more cards for my collection. These are my two new designs.
To go with my original two designs.

I've also been making more Aprons. These are proving rather hard to photograph well so when I've done that I'll show you. 

I have a bunch of lavender hearts also coming along nicely.



They just need the lavender and then they are ready to sew up!

Have decided my towel rail looks pretty good as it is. I can get 2 rows of tea towels and a row of napkins on it. So I think it will work well standing on a table at a craft fair. Just need to make some price labels now.


I bought some pretty blue and white bowls yesterday. I wanted to display them nicely on my dresser but it was so full of stuff you couldn't see them! So I've had a big tidy up and I'm really pleased with the results. I've also put some parsley in a jam jar to add a bit of greenery. It always makes me feel so happy when I tidy up. I don't know why I don't do it more!




Now I'm off to make some Aprons. So I should have some to show you next time!

Thought I'd cheer myself up, from all this cold cold weather we are having, with some daffodils and pretend that it's spring even if its snowing outside!!! Also had a good tidy up in my studio, wow it feels good, should do this more often (but know I wont!). 


Really looking forward to the long Easter weekend. Time for lots of making and eating of Easter goodies! I've started by baking some Easter biscuits.


I was watching Mary Berry last night and she made Easter biscuits as well!!!


Now back to making...
I've also been designing a sew on label for my tea towels. I just need to work out what fabric to have them printed on. If I print them on the linen cotton canvas I'm worried it will be too thick. I'll try it out this weekend.


Yippee... Just had a massive parcel of fabric arrive, I wont be bored this weekend!!!


...so I best get sewing!!!

My new Blue fabric with white polka dots has arrived, yippee! Made some tea towels, of course!


To this design I've added a pink ribbon so you can also hang the tea towel on a hook. I thought this might be useful. So going to do this from now on.


I'm also really pleased with how the collection is coming together, you can mix and match any designs together to will brighten your kitchen!



After the success of my lavender heart promotion, my tea towels are now being stocked by the Ugly Duckling of Artisans in Ashby de las Zouch. Very exciting. Frantically ordering more fabric so I can make more tea towels, napkins and want to make aprons too.
