Is there any better way to spend the weekend then with friends whilst your sewing soul starts a new creative journey? Majella and I had the pleasure of being students (which was fantastic) for the weekend, participating in a class...
[Werbung/Anzeige/Advertisement] Amberley by Brenda Riddle We're four months into 2019, so I guess it's a bit late to wish my dear readers a happy new year, assuming you are still reading my blog! I have an excuse for neglecting my blog all these months. Early January I had a major set back healthwise and ended up in hospital, not once but twice. I'm still not feeling all that great, so blogging is really the last thing on my mind right now. I apologize. Also, ever since the implementation of all these new rules and regulations effectively censoring online activity, it's become a lot less fun to blog. I remember back in 2008 (!) blogging was a mix of creative writing, journaling, sharing and exchanging information, the occasional promotion and link building. It was casual, easy, and fun! These days I have to weigh each word carefully and linking is a tricky business. Frankly, it's not worth the risk being fined. There are people out there being paid to scan (German) blogs for even the tiniest of "mistakes". And the fines are hefty. It sucks. I have been a little more active on Instagram. But even on there I have to be careful what to post and how I formulate the description. This year I didn't get around to sewing much, even though my fingers are itching to complete a couple of projects. I do still have a few of my foldable shopping bags available at Etsy. Heads up - international shipping has gone up this year, so it pays to buy more as it's a fixed price up to 1 kg. In between hospital stays and work commitments I have collaborated with my illustrator friend Siobhan on a wonderful design project for my main shop. Check out this gorgeous collection of postcards with vintage/shabby chic illustrations. There are 10 happy designs to choose from. Printed in UK on high quality, matte finish card. New in are also lovely "Thank You" and "Birthday" greeting cards with envelopes included. Below are some of my favorites. Last weekend I managed to visit the trade fair in Cologne after all. This fair is important in my line of work, and although it was quite exhausting I was glad I got to meet up with some colleagues and preview the latest fabric collections. Here's a sneak peek of Tanya Whelan's latest "Janey" due to arrive in May. So pretty! Easter is only two weeks away, can you believe? I'm hoping for some milder weather. It's been quite chilly and rainy these past few weeks. I generally feel better physically and emotionally in warmer weather. A bit of sunshine can do wonders. Wishing you a wonderful weekend, take care and enjoy every moment. Love,

I made my first lavender fishes for my friends and guest. Because I wanted to give something different, beautiful, and useful, but also funny and unusual. They love them very very much. I heard words like the beautiful, adorable, unusual, lovely smell, wonderful gift, longlasting, decorative, holiday memories, unique lavender sachet... And all really it is. But it is not only for others. You can definitely give it to yourself. To decorate your house and bring some vacation mode in it. Hang it on the door hook, and every time someone opens the door, a beautiful aroma will appear. Leave it on your pillow, and all night long, the lavender will calm you and put you in a peaceful sleep. You can put it in the wardrobe, drawers, car, wherever you want the lavender smell should do the magic also as a natural insect repellent. It is not just ''a fish''. Made one at a time, by hand. With love. With an accent on quality. Measurements: The fish measures approx. 24 cm x 5 cm / 9,45" x 1,97" and weight approx. 20 g Made from fine cotton fabric, rope, and wooden buttons. Filling: 100% homegrown lavender. If you need your package to be shipped asap, please let me know, and I will do my best. I am also available to help you with your individual request.
