Just a couple of new samples for home and Etsy...........

I'm really into this look at the moment........

I really adore the postage stamp, postcard look, its beautiful but I wanted to make something fresh..that would be romantic but sit alongside the things I already have....to give a different focus,

I can feel some poetry coming on ha ha ..

Lots of hugs Lynn xxx

Thank you so much for all of your lovely comments xxxx I really appreciate them and my heart takes a flip each time you say hello xx

I'm up to my eyes in bags and embroiderys...it has been pretty tough since I was made redundant from Bolton and I was really worried for a time how to make ends meet, but I am getting there I think !!

Enough for me to keep my new bag I made from an oil canvas, I had seen them around but just couldn't afford one  from Anthropologie  well now I have one ha ha . 

Think my hall needs a lick of paint though...

..... or maybe not, I like the falling plaster look! ha ha.

Love to you all xx

Hugs Lynn xxxx

Talking to fabric..................

It has taken me so long to achieve these images onto Victorian cotton patchwork..........  to look  fragile and transparent without loosing the detail...as if the images had become captured within the weave , I thought to share some of them with you xxxxxx  

I will wear a dress!

I have started on my Spring/summer wardrobe so for a few days I am making some poplin dresses.

I love the vintage styles but I am a 12 to 14 and they are hard to find.  I also like to make the skirts less full and arrange the gathers where they flatter the most and cover the tummy ha ha  so making my own is ideal.

I also bought  a second hand roll neck cashmere jumper that I though I could upcycle into a pretty cardigan with lace pockets maybe to go with my dress, the colour is a good match and will go nice with my fabrics...what do you think?

Do you make your own clothes or up-cycle them.

I just need a tea party to go to when they are made xxx

Have a lovely week

Hugs Lynn xxxx

Lots more sewing.............

Darned, worn, printed, rustic French lined hemp and linen bag leather handles 

Vintage French prints appliquéd  and embroidered,

Vintage fabrics appliquéd and embroidered onto vintage pastels

French linen bag printed background with a hand embroidered bird searching for scraps

 My fingers are sore, and I have a terrible cold, and I am so sorry for not visiting anyone (sad face) xxx

but its nearly Spring.. it is isn't it ???

Big Hugs

Lynn xxxx

Hope you have a lovely Easter..........

                                         

My lovely knitted nest from Vicki at 2 bags full

This year has been such a rush, has Easter jumped up on you too?

I have been helping a friend set up her new shop and with creating new things and decorating walls and getting covered in paint I nearly missed Easter.............

I wanted to show you my lovely knitted nest that Vicki made me,  she makes the most lovely creations and sends them all over the world, she also makes for charity so I think she must never stop knitting.. pop over to her blog she has the most gorgeous knitted creations...  I can barely knit purl one! let alone a knitted nest.

Other pictures are of my small  Easter effort for home, I have some Hot Cross buns proving for the oven later on, but nothing else I'm afraid...I shall have to come visiting your lovely blogs for my Easter inspiration

I want to wish you a very happy Easter Tide xxx

Chocolaty Hugs

New Bags

Big Sigh!...I have just finished designing a range of Vintage Fabric Summer bags for a rather lovely customer, xx  and I have a couple of  original one off samples  for sale that I have just popped in my Etsy shop.

Thought you may enjoy seeing some larger pictures of them, they may give you some nice inspiration for coming sunshine days, I say this with conviction......looking at the mounds of snow outside ha ha.

Have a really lovely weekend ...........nearly Easter xx

Hugs Lynn xxx
