print giveaway...

 ...no don't worry I haven't put my Christmas decs up just yet but I have been doodling some Christmas designs for a set of postcards... I think you can tell my hexagon obsession has inspired these prints...

 while I was at the printers I had these ones made up again and they are now available as a set of four...

Thank you and good luck x x x x x

corners of home...

back in the summer on the day of the Mollie Makes photo shoot...our house looked momentarily...tidy...

so I took some snaps to capture that sunny day and our house without piles of washing and mess everywhere...

I dusted down the shelves of tea cups and tin collections

and various objects big and small that have been collected over the years....

...tidy desks without piles of fabric and packing supplies covering every inch of work space

 ...chairs with cushions actually on them and not discarded all over the floor

 a tidy workshed with room for a chair is rare these days....

and freshly painted walls mean a chance to hang favourite pictures...

 choosing a favourite patchwork to put on the bed against the wall of many colours :)

even little rooms were given a quick spring clean and tidy...

our home is usually a bit messy and unkempt, it's light and bright but it has a lived in feel... not magazine pristine. Life's too short to worry about grubby hands and dust :)

autumn owls...

last week I spent many nights burning the midnight oil to finish these guys...

I decided it was time for a change from the vintage sheet style ones so I chose fabrics from my favourite modern quilters cottons and chose an Autumnal colour theme. Some of them have vintage florals on them but most are checks or graphic patterns so are suitable for boys as well as girls :)

they are ready to fly the nest now and you can see them all over here

books...prints and pompoms

just a few things to share this week...things that are making me smile, for my birthday last month I was lucky to receive these very lovely books...

'A place called home' is filled with beautiful photographs and very inspiring interiors...

it's a good mix of styles  and I love the more masculine styling and colour palettes....

the other  book is by one of my favourite bloggers Ingrid and is just lovely...full of creative ideas and colour

it isn't written in English but I don't really notice because the pictures are perfect :)

 

and a new discovery for me...lionheart magazine is a really good read..cover to cover full of great articles about favourite cities and new artists..good for boys as well as girls :) 

I am busy working to stock up my etsy shop for the holidays so I have been making owls and cushions and pom poms and I picked up my final copies of my new prints...

this one is my favourite...boy and little dog :)

all available here
