catching up on summer...

our summer so far....the last two weeks ended up being very different to how we had planned...very exciting though but now we can kick back a little and relax...

in between the chaos here are a few things keeping a smile on our faces... making some triangles for here.....

 

more pom poms.....these ones are for the shop though as our house is FULL of them and apparently there is a limit to how many you can safely dangle in one room...

...patchwork curtains to hide washing machines  :)

 

experimental teapot cosies which kind of worked...inspired by this  but without following the pattern 'cos I'm a bit rubbish at that... 

getting out and chasing the sunshine....

plotting and planning a new quilt...and loving these fabrics :)

finishing the picnic blanket and lining the basket and managing two picnics despite the rain :)

 

being sent a copy of this lovely book because my little bird box is featured inside.....

 and then deciding I had to have a go at this...

by the fab Claire Nicolson...these two are for presents but I will be making myself one for sure :)

so... halfway through the summer hols, it's been fun ...

sneaky peak

I'm planning a giveaway for my next post so pop back soon
