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
