Spring is here!

Or is it?
The weather has been so interchangeable these past few days I don't think it really knows what season it is! It has cheered up a bit here now, although all day its been pretty grey and miserable!


Here is a little stack of purses all ready to go in the shop!

And this one is a new style that I have been making although I think I need to perfect it a little bit before I put it in the shop. Its also a bit more fiddly to make with a curved zip, and the lining has to be sewn in by hand.

I think it is a cute shape though, and something a little different.

Another of my Elements range of pillow covers! This one is Earth. Now I did finish the other day, and even uploaded the pics to my blog on Sunday, but things got a bit rushed, as I looked at the time and realised I was running late for mum's birthday lunch!

For the backing of this I used Irish Linen in Oatmeal, which I think really compliments the greens. You cant see too clearly in this picture but that decorative stitch I think looks like leaves. Perfect I thought!


I bought this dress/top last year, it was one of those impulse buys. I was just walking out the shop and it screamed - rather loudly - buy me!! So I did! I got home all excited about my purchase and tried it on. But it didn't look right on me, it just sort of hung and the fabric was so pretty I didn't want to spoil it with a belt (which didn't look right anyway) . So it has been hanging in my wardrobe ever since.

Now the sun has been sneaking out every now and then, my thoughts have turned to summer wardrobes, and all the lovely things, I will soon be able to wear. (Unless we have a summer like last year of course!) You may of remembered in a previous post that I said I wanted to make a skirt well what a perfect project to start with! Yep I am going to turn this beauty into a skirt - well try to!

With some great advice from the very talented Abi on Etsy, I know what I need to do. Its just getting the nerve to make that first cut in the fabric. But I will be sure to keep you updated on how I get on! OK, that's all from me for now, pop over to Abi's shop and look at the lovely clothes and bags she has!

(P.s for some reason this has decided to still be dated on Sunday! But see I wasnt fibbing when I said I uploaded the pics on sunday but ran out of time to do anything else!)
