I Need to Slow Down...

Well at least I think that's what my body has been trying to tell me the past couple of days. Since my last post, I have gone through a cycle of sleeping, waking up for food and pain killers and sleeping again! I think I have slept more in the past 36hours than I have for weeks!

I did manage to do a little yesterday. One of my favourite things to do on a Friday morning is go to my local market where the lovely ladies from Lady Sew and Sew have a stall. I stocked up on wadding and other depleted supplies. I also visited the fruit and veg stall and got a whole load of yummy fruit at a really good price. Walking back to the car with all this was certainly an experience as I thought I was gonna take off at one point! I was rather hoping that the wind and fresh air would clear my head, but alas it was not meant to be, so once I got home, promptly fell into bed.

After a looooong sleep throughout the rest of the day, I forced myself up to finish this pillow cover, I hate to leave projects unfinished, especially when so close to the finish line.


Its the cover that I gave a sneak peek of the other day. I love the mix of blues and greens in this and reminds of the colour of the sea from somewhere far more tropical than the sea we have here in the UK! This is the first cover in a range I am going to call 'Elements' - with this one representing water. Updates of the other 'Elements' will come soon! Oh, and yes this cover will be for sale in my shop.

Now for those of you, who have ever suffered a Migraine, you will know that all you can do is lie in a dark room. Watching TV hurts, being on the computer or listening to music, reading, is just out of the question! So I took the opportunity to leaf through one of my favourite catalogues that I had recently received! Cath Kidston! Oohh it left me drooling for more! Here is just 3 of the things I have added to my ever increasing 'Oh if only' wish list.

House Sewing Basket - Isn't it just adorable!

Cow Boy Skirt.

I just love love this! One of the reasons I cannot wait for the warmer months is too wear yummy skirts like this and my beloved flip flops. Unfortunately for me with a £75 price tag it is a little out of my price range, but to make sure I really don't buy it, they don't have my size! So I need to get eating on those Easter eggs!

I do however really want to make a skirt for myself this year, so maybe this is the boost I need!

Oh yes and of course a girl HAS to have the matching bag to go with it!

Finally I want to say a BIG THANK YOU to Ruth of Tip Top Toppers. For the beautiful card that I received this morning for my mum's birthday. As much as I would love to post a picture of the card today, I best not in case my mum decides to have a little peek at this blog. But I will certainly blog about it after she has received it on the 1st of April. In the meantime please check out Ruth's website! Her cards are truly amazing and the attention to detail is out of this world! I am so pleased with my card and have already placed another order for a friend's wedding!

Enjoy the rest of your Saturday!
