I've been to 'Cowpat' today ...

Otherwise known as 'Cowslip Workshops' in Launceston, Cornwall, to stroke all the yummy fabrics on offer.

The choice is phenomenal & I could spend an absolute fortune in there BUT these are my favourite purchases today. I bought some dotty fat quarters too and stroked lots of flowery & extremely pwetty bolts but restrained myself as I'll be back down in Cornwall in a few weeks with my 'wish list' of crimbo fabrics.
Isn't the doggy fabric just gorgeous ?

Pony Rosette Cushion

Hello Peeps !
Cushions are not my favourite item to make but I do make exceptions for certain lovely customers & the little girl these two ponies are bound for is the daughter of one such lovely customer.

I do love my horses & ponies and I love incorporating them in my textile creations.

Boo's summer holidays started at the beginning of July so we've been on the go for quite a while. It's been a busy old time but I have tried to bumble along with my work & get as much done inbetween all the holiday activities.

I love the holidays & hate it when Boo goes back to school. Just being at home together is as enjoyable as 'going out'. We've got a nice quiet day tomorrow, no rushing about, no picnic to organise ... we're just going to 'Go with the Flow' as they say.
Here's to a little bit of sunshine too x

Pony Rosette Keyrings/ Bag Charms. A lovely gift for a pony mad littly or growd up. I've just started making these & they seem very popular which is rather very lovely.
I'm quite chuffed ...

I bought all sorts of ribbon today to add to my stash so hoping to making more. If anyone is interested, please email me.

I'd be very lost without my Boots , especially in this recent piddly weather ! Just thought I'd share that with you all,
He ! He!

A custom Christening order for a 'Fairy Godmother' ...
I choose not to make too many of these anymore but conceded for a friend. She turned out quite pretty & I think makes a unique gift.

I have to say, I've seen something very similar recently which makes me a little cross ... one reason for me not making anymore, but hey ! what can you do about it ????

I'll try my best to post more regularly but I am rubbish at finding the time so bear with me whilst I am being particularly useless ...
Bye, Bye for now !

Archie Flying ...

Another of my 'Dog Study' photo's ... Here's my by Archie doing a bit of hunting up in the long grass. It was a beautiful early morning with the sun shining & birdies a tweeting.
He really was having fun. He's such a happy chappy, a little mental at times maybe, but he's my nutter & I love him dearly ...

Smelly Houses & Flat Houses ....

The 'Smelly' houses are now stuffed & ready to go .... I'm really pleased with them. I do like my spots !! Boo sniffed them and promptly declared 'Urgh, they stink, I don't Lavender Mummy' !

Oh well, I guess it wouldn't be the floral pong choice of a 7 year old would it ? But, on a positive note she did say 'But I love the spotty birds, they're well cool !' ...

Well, that's OK then ;-)


Rather than making more 'stuffies' as keyfobs/ bag charms, I thought I'd try out some flat ones too, just for a bit of variety really. They have a stiff interfacing inside which makes them not so floppy. I've added a little bell onto each ring for added 'ta da' so to speak.

It's Boo's Spring Fair on Sunday so hopefully my pitch will be really colourful & jollified - I'm glad it's inside as we have Thunder Storms forecast. It'll be a real shame if it's wet after all the glorious weather we've had, Boo is supposed to be Maypole dancing too. Soggy ribbons & miserable kids does not make for a happy combination.

Fingers crossed the sun will stay with us eh ?
