The sun has indeed been shining this week and for a brief moment you could be forgiven for thinking Spring is on its way. The farmer has been making the most in the break in the weather and has been busy in the back fields, watched closely by a flock of gulls. In the main this week (apart from looking out the window!) I've been doing lots of behind the scenes work on our website.
The new Tilda Spring collections finally arrived, we've been waiting an age!! Here's some of my favourites from the 'All that is Spring' collection.....it includes a gorgeous the new shade of brown, which is smidge lighter than grey brown from the previous collections and sand, which is a really pretty grey/taupe shade.
I am in love with the new Birds design, .....I've snaffled some of the Pink along with a mini piece of Sally Brown...oh I do love Pink and Brown together.... I am going to make a bitty bloom brooch as a present for Poppy to take to a Birthday party this weekend.....
The other new collection is called The Summer Fair and combines Blue and Pink, it's shabby chic at its best. As always the new collections blend with all the previous Tilda collections a treat!
and we've had notification today that more 1930's prints and the new Country Girls fabrics should be with us very soon....
I've finally made a start on the QAL and I've managed to stitch a couple more Farmers Wife blocks (photo's next time, pinky promise), but I have started a little project. .....I'm making Poppy a small bag that she can carry her ballet pumps or tap shoes to dance lessons. I though it would be pretty to have a little dancing fairy stitched on the front.......
I've been stitching her, rather slowly, in the evenings.....
Finally, just to say a huge thank you for all your lovely comments on my 'You are so Loved' embroidery, I really appreciate each and everyone. The embroidery is now available here and here. I've been thinking recently about your sweet comments and how best to reply to them..... I would love to hear your opinions on how you reply to comments on your own blogs or how you prefer to receive a reply, when you've left a comment? Thanks so much!!
Anyway, I had best get stitching, there's a little fairy needing some attention.
