IS SUMMER HERE?

Well I have finally managed to sit down and actually write something new on the blog! It has been a very hectic few months - getting ready for our first time at the bctf in Harrogate and fulfilling subsequent orders has meant I have not had much spare time.

Now the dust has settled I can catch my breath, however, my head is spinning with new design ideas for the coming few months which keep me very busy making a new range of handbags and scarves.

But we did find the time to do the summer pots this weekend and they do brighten the garden up, even though the temperature has plummeted over the last couple of days. It is nice to see the plants beginning to flower, the colours are very inspirational at this time of year. They make me want to go out and look for new fabric and wool.

For sometime now I have been hunting for vintage fabrics to work with, and I have managed to source several online shops specialising in these two of my favorites are donnaflower.com and vintagefabricmarket.co.uk Both of these sites are useful if you are looking for good quality, unusual vintage fabrics and haberdashery.

Lots of inspiration and choice.

Just waiting for some new knitting needles to arrive and itching to get started on some new scarves. Always a stylish accessory for any outfit, scarves are fashionable whether they are skinny, broad, long or short they can liven up any outfit whatever the season. They are always great in winter to snuggle up with to make us feel warm, but we must not ignore the scarf in summer a delicate silk or cotton scarf can add a luxurious quality to an outfit. Equally a skinny long scarf can add a sassy quality to a pair of jeans.

So come on girls dig out those scarves.
