Everything's coming up roses.............

It's been a long week but not too busy to do a little crafting! I keep veering towards things of a floral nature and maybe that's because I'm still waiting for the lilac and bluebells to show me their true colours in my garden. For me these two are a real sign that spring is here. So at the moment it's a bit of a barren landscape, hence my obsession with the flowers : if I can't grow em yet then I'll make em! So I made a little flower garden pin cushion and another rustic rose pincushion in ivory with a dusting of German glitter glass , oh how I love the way that stuff sparkles and the way it already looks vintage when it's brand new!

Have a great weekend!

Back Again!

Wow it's been a long time since I left a post here but since reopening my etsy shop I thought it seemed appropriate to reopen this poor little neglected blog too!

When I started this blog it was my dream to stay at home and make my living by creating and selling my wares both to shops and on line. However my dream was very short lived and just a few weeks after my last post here I was back at the 9-5 after having a few sleepless nights as my meagre bank balance veered quickly towards the red. Working from home is not as easy or rosy as it looks and I take my hat off to the millions of women who do this and take care of their family and homes as well! It's still my dream but I'm still working at the 9-5 but I somehow find time to make a few new things every week. I love sewing and creating and would go crazy if I did none at all.

So I'm back again and thought this would be a good place to log my progress and thoughts and share my ideas. Check back soon !
