My Latest Love Affair

I'm such a floozie. I don't mean to be, it's just in my blood and no matter what I do I can't resist. The smallest bit of flirtation in my direction, and I'm hooked - triggering off yet another round of delicious little flutterings in my tummy.




Do you blame me? How could anyone not love the new Sherbet Pips collection... What a little tease. so fresh and crisp. Utterly delightful - I'm just loving the touches of red amongst the pinks and blues.




As for Prince Charming from Tula Pink.... Well! I am totally smitten. this new range is just too darn good looking for it's own safety. Fabulous designs in the most incredible range of colours. I'm so in love, it's scary.













This is fabric flirting of the worst kind. Just how do you choose which one to pledge your allegiance to?

And... It doesn't end there..... Oh no! The crafty little prince has still got a courting charm up his sleeve -




Laminates! Did you hear that? Laminates.... Pass the smelling salts quick, I'm having one of my turns.

(Picking myself up from my swoon). I know realise I may be in the grips of another obsession... Lusting for laminates. I'm not too sure I like the moniker - I'm an old-fashioned girl, and far prefer the gentle name Oilcloth. Onwards and upwards, I must move with the times and embrace this new term.

A very brief dalliance with Google Images returned these little beauties on page 1...

















Ooh - I must shake off the lust and actually do something today.

Autumn Giveaway Time

I'm more than a trifle ticked off with Blogger. My post of yesterday has vanished into thin air during the day - and I haven't been near a computer. It was the first time I'd entered a post using the new interface, and I was liking the way it worked. Shame I didn't try a short post first, but no...... dibble decided to do a long article didn't she! Sniff. Back to the old Blogger me thinks. Anyways... I was thinking that it's been such a dismal few days - why not think of something to brighten the mood. Why not have a little giveaway? Trying to be a little different - I've come up with a little competition. It's quite simple....... How many buttons in the jar? I've no idea myself, so it will be interesting to find out. To give you something on which to base your guess, I can tell you I am able to hold the little jar comfortably in one hand. Also I have used a few of the buttons so the jar isn't quite full. So.... What do y...

Valentine Kisses

It's not long to February 14th now - so today I am sharing some vintage Valentine graphics.  As you know, as these are vintage artwork pieces, they may be freely used in whatever project takes your fancy.  If you feel inspired by any of these items, do pop over to the  Graphics Fairy  website.  Here you can find oodles more vintage loveliness.  Every day a new vintage piece is shared..... it really is a great blog to follow. Here's a few more of my Valentine favourites..... The three images above would be perfect printed onto stout card stock and threaded together to form a vintage banner.  How lovely to place in the window of a period property.  Or even better, printed onto fabric, and sewn onto a length of pretty lace.  Beautiful! Such a gorgeous little picture.  The original may be a lot larger, so it's worth checking with  Graphics Fairy  if you like this image.  There are so many items on th...

Hillarys Blinds - Country Crafts Competition

A vision in Teal - front view Towards the end of February I saw a competition advertised on Twitter by Hillarys Blinds .  I can't remember the exact wording, but it was along the lines of "would you like to receive some material and enter our competition?" Of course I would! After sending an e-mail, I was delighted to hear I'd been chosen to take part.  I was able to pick from 3 fabrics.  I opted for the peacock print as I adore teal.  About a week later I received a packet from Hillarys containing a metre of my chosen material.  I wish I could get the colours to come out properly.  I don't think any of the photos I've taken do the fabric justice.  The background is a light cream, with the branches and blossom in subtle shades of brown and pale yellows.  Sitting on the branches across the fabric are a selection of beautiful peacocks.  In shades of teal, they are quite wonderful.
