Let's hope Santa comes...

Because I made them especially...

make-up bags

I have made a large set of make-up bags for the christmas markets, some with buttons, but all of them with fancy frills!

It's very cold here...

I have decided to diversify and make hot water bottle covers now, as it is so cold I can't feel my toes!

Anyone for tea?

Or coffee for that matter?

Been a bit busy...

I have finally started making my autumn winter collection 2010, watch this space...

A patchwork throne...

Surely everyone has one of these in their bathroom ?

A matching pair.

Oh, but they don't match....

Time to hang the washing out...

Anyone for a peg-bag, they don't grow on trees you know!

buttons..

Does anyone need a button sewing on? I've got the threads too..

Pick a colour...

Don't you wish all paint sample colour charts looked like this!

Rectangular doors...

Whoever said that door frames needed to be rectangular?

A challenge...

I LOVE a good tiling challenge! (At least the green Le Creuset look good with it!)

Before...

And here's the after...

Fabulous folds (and finds)

I keep coming across these beautiful cushions at the local Brocantes. They must take days to make, there is only one seam, and the fabric folds are all sewn in place by hand!

Shopping lists...

We need a new "produce in season" board for our gites. Do people still use chicoree?

French dove grey .....

Amazing what a coat of Farrow and Ball can achieve...

Gilt...

What girl doesn't go weak for a bit of gold?

Or a few diamonds...

And it has only got a mere 750 crystals on it....a subtle little number for our bathroom!

Obsession...what obsession?

Can a girl ever have enough tassles? Or do I need to seek some therapy?

The Union Jack re-vamped...

Who said they needed to be red, white and blue?

Anglo-Franco relations...

See, the French and English

can work well together...

and soft and fluffy too...

Purple is so much more "now" than blue, don't you think?
