Reason being too much work so can't complain really. I have been selling Union Jack buntings, mainly for the upcoming Royal Wedding but I think the theme will continue next year with the Olympics aswell. Everyone seems very excited about the Wedding though, what is everyone planning? Any street parties?!<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LqjT8po2ojk/TZsPIH8d5jI/AAAAAAAABZ4/4yvdTMTHI0o/s1600/IMG_0339.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LqjT8po2ojk/TZsPIH8d5jI/AAAAAAAABZ4/4yvdTMTHI0o/s400/IMG_0339.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592079994556638770" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1POGuBrm944/TZsPIUw8DAI/AAAAAAAABaA/R5tXbGBtL90/s1600/IMG_0251.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1POGuBrm944/TZsPIUw8DAI/AAAAAAAABaA/R5tXbGBtL90/s400/IMG_0251.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592079997997943810" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ma1zG77itnQ/TZsPIi7dDGI/AAAAAAAABaI/doQ4xJRBTkc/s1600/IMG_0258.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ma1zG77itnQ/TZsPIi7dDGI/AAAAAAAABaI/doQ4xJRBTkc/s400/IMG_0258.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592080001800146018" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hFeRWs58NNs/TZsPIz8K5HI/AAAAAAAABaQ/j_C6i48Pp9w/s1600/IMG_0162.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hFeRWs58NNs/TZsPIz8K5HI/AAAAAAAABaQ/j_C6i48Pp9w/s400/IMG_0162.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592080006366553202" /></a>Janethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03419663887477837470noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6982795467339641030.post-16930317791148771342011-02-27T04:37:00.000-08:002011-02-27T08:56:15.341-08:00Monthly MakesJust to let you know, I have joined the Monthly Make over at <a href="http://thefeltfairyuk.blogspot.com/">The Felt Fairy</a>.

Sorry it's a little late and I haven't posted since November, but I have been soooooo busy with some new items. New Year's resolution? Definitely to post more often!<br /><br />Weather has been freezing and just right for being cosy indoors and doing some crafts. We had a lot of snow (well a lot for us!) and ice as I expect you all did, here is one picture of our front garden from the first lot of snow! <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/TS8GJEbIXMI/AAAAAAAABWY/i_Fjjf2bGkM/s1600/IMG_3762.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/TS8GJEbIXMI/AAAAAAAABWY/i_Fjjf2bGkM/s400/IMG_3762.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561670817701977282" /></a> Little one had so much fun making snowmen, as did most kids in the area so it was hilarious to see all the different shape snowmen everywhere!<br /><br />So, to make you feel that Spring is on the way, here is my new range which is called English Roses and Tea Partys. There's a selection of buntings, crochet garland and cushions.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/TS8BE69qjjI/AAAAAAAABVw/Qa8Ux2sIvSw/s1600/IMG_3811.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 382px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/TS8BE69qjjI/AAAAAAAABVw/Qa8Ux2sIvSw/s400/IMG_3811.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561665248884854322" /></a><br />The crochet garland and cushions above were made for friends of Little one for Christmas presents. The caravan pillow was an idea I had after seeing a lot of freehand machine embroidery. It was featured on <a href="http://www.channel4.com/4homes/on-tv/kirstie-s-homemade-home/suppliers/middlesex-suppliers-services-10-11-29_p_6.html">Kirstie's Homemade Home</a> but is not as easy as it looks and you need to watch your fingers with the needle! But it's definitely worth a try. This is my kind of interpretation of it.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/TS8BGGqIMlI/AAAAAAAABWI/nNbnTWq0z18/s1600/IMG_0059.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 374px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/TS8BGGqIMlI/AAAAAAAABWI/nNbnTWq0z18/s400/IMG_0059.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561665269204005458" /></a><br />This is my favourite, the Roses Union Jack cushion. There is bunting to match which I can personalise.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/TS8BFtE1XJI/AAAAAAAABWA/WX9abMI2QLM/s1600/IMG_0047.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 199px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/TS8BFtE1XJI/AAAAAAAABWA/WX9abMI2QLM/s400/IMG_0047.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561665262336695442" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/TS8BFYmt96I/AAAAAAAABV4/BypkruzDVX8/s1600/IMG_0046.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 348px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/TS8BFYmt96I/AAAAAAAABV4/BypkruzDVX8/s400/IMG_0046.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561665256841672610" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/TS8BGdh2BiI/AAAAAAAABWQ/oq2OdltGf1E/s1600/IMG_3816.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 359px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/TS8BGdh2BiI/AAAAAAAABWQ/oq2OdltGf1E/s400/IMG_3816.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561665275343275554" /></a><br />Here is the Crochet Garland, which I wrapped around a card so it was easier to wrap up. It was loved very much by the recipient.<br /><br />Hope you like all my new Goodies! I am having a sale in <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/tinycherubs">my Etsy shop</a> next week, it's the Uk Silly Sale on Etsy. I have tagged all my sale items with the name Silly Sale. My items are either half price or 20% off. There are quite a lot of Uk Etsy sellers involved so you may find a great bargain!Janethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03419663887477837470noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6982795467339641030.post-85697009889535341092010-11-10T11:33:00.000-08:002010-11-10T12:15:09.253-08:00My First Etsy Treasury!Hi everyone, after three attempts (daughter and OH had both managed to delete it before I saved it) I have managed to create my first <a href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4cdaee75ab438eeffbed8a73/red-and-white-christmas-gift-guide">Etsy Treasury</a>! I don't know why I didn't discover this tool before, I've had so much fun choosing different items to go with my theme. It is Red and White Christmas and I picked out things for gifts and decorations. I just love those colours together for Christmas they just seem so cheerful. My Christmas buntings are made in these colours in my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/tinycherubs?section_id=7451534">Etsy Shop</a>.<br />Might try another Treasury, it's quite addictive to do!<br /><H2 style="FONT-FAMILY: sans-serif;

Why is it when you have time to create you just cannot think of all the ideas that you had when you were too busy to make them? What I have been working on is some designs for little pillows. I have so many pieces of Cath Kidston and Laura Ashley fabric left over from making bunting, I put them together to make these cushions. They are all appliqued and hand embroidered.<br />This one has 'Once Upon A Time There Was A Beautiful Princess' hand embroidered around it, I'm so pleased with how it has turned out, the muted colours and look of it.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/TKNrVrR3fFI/AAAAAAAABSk/n4llv_Y8wT4/s1600/IMG_3516.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/TKNrVrR3fFI/AAAAAAAABSk/n4llv_Y8wT4/s400/IMG_3516.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522375588225449042" /></a><br /><br />Laura Ashley Esme fabric with Butterflies and Flowers.......<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/TKNrV8YCizI/AAAAAAAABSs/l8oh7l4QWX8/s1600/IMG_3518.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/TKNrV8YCizI/AAAAAAAABSs/l8oh7l4QWX8/s400/IMG_3518.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522375592814742322" /></a><br /><br />.......and just to remind of summer, a Cath Kidston Beach Hut cushion.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/TKNrWZkdCkI/AAAAAAAABS0/DIB2HewUW7E/s1600/IMG_3522.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/TKNrWZkdCkI/AAAAAAAABS0/DIB2HewUW7E/s400/IMG_3522.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522375600651438658" /></a>Janethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03419663887477837470noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6982795467339641030.post-89630044752529318912010-08-05T11:27:00.001-07:002010-08-11T06:52:54.181-07:00CupcakesHi I have been busy making Cupcake themed items, thought you might like to see them.<br />Here are some buntings<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/TGKZThAgaNI/AAAAAAAABP0/87nOHdQ4EYo/s1600/IMG_3497.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/TGKZThAgaNI/AAAAAAAABP0/87nOHdQ4EYo/s400/IMG_3497.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504130255157225682" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/TGKZSrBMYXI/AAAAAAAABPk/Wwt4T2GOp4M/s1600/IMG_3463.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/TGKZSrBMYXI/AAAAAAAABPk/Wwt4T2GOp4M/s400/IMG_3463.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504130240664592754" /></a><br /><br />A small tote bag for Little one to carry her sketch book in<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/TGKef6K7opI/AAAAAAAABQc/CB1MlNLdK6A/s1600/IMG_3462.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/TGKef6K7opI/AAAAAAAABQc/CB1MlNLdK6A/s400/IMG_3462.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504135965628408466" /></a><br />This is a doorhanger, hand embroidered with a name to personalise it.

I have been playing around with the mosaic feature on Picassa, great fun! This collage shows the Hardy Geraniums, Poppy, Cosmos, pots with annual Geraniums, Heuchera and a gorgeous Sarah Raven Carnation called Moulin Rouge which has a beautiful scent. Shame you can't smell it through the computer!<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/TEiBxbxB2kI/AAAAAAAABNo/WCS1rR-YkAc/s1600/gardensummer10pics.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/TEiBxbxB2kI/AAAAAAAABNo/WCS1rR-YkAc/s400/gardensummer10pics.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496786031472663106" /></a><br /><br />These pics are of some of my homegrown vegetables. Our strawberries have done amazingly again this year, it's a pity I don't know the variety because they really are fantastic, the fruits were big and very tasty. The bottom right picture shows my 'pea shoots'. I don't know if you followed Alice Fowler's Edible Garden programme, but she showed you how to grow pea shoots from a 38p box of dried peas! They taste just like fresh peas and are a great addition to salads. <br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/TEiBx1Ie_GI/AAAAAAAABNw/yZO57_lOYIc/s1600/summerharvestpic.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/TEiBx1Ie_GI/AAAAAAAABNw/yZO57_lOYIc/s400/summerharvestpic.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496786038281927778" /></a><br />Most of the beans (runner, french and dwarf)have got black fly on them which seem to be everywhere this year, so I'm hoping it won't reduce the bean harvest.<br />But my courgettes are really getting into their stride and I have picked quite a few, same with the cucumbers, I shall take some pics of them for you.Janethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03419663887477837470noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6982795467339641030.post-52500401463703785202010-07-07T10:54:00.000-07:002010-07-09T08:03:21.313-07:00Flying the FlagHi everyone, sorry it's been so long!

<br />I had an idea to grow some salad leaves. If your a fan of those bags of salad in the supermarkets, it's well worth a go at growing your own. I borrowed a book about it from the library last year and then got lucky when the library had an old book sale in that I got it for 50p! I would recommend it to anyone wanting to grow salad, it's called <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Salad-Leaves-All-Seasons-Organic/dp/190032220X/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpi_2">Salad Leaves for All Seasons by Charles Dowding</a>

<br />This is my idea to grow some lettuces in an old bit of guttering placed on the greenhouse shelf! They are doing fairly well, hopefully the slugs won't reach them up there.:0)

Thank you!<br /><br />The rules are I must list seven things about myself and pass it on to seven others, so here goes<br />1. I love interior design but am ashamed to say my house could do with a makeover! The trouble is that I am very indecisive. One day I'll like one wallpaper, the next another, so I think if I choose one, I'll get bored with it too quickly! I love cosy country styles, anything Laura Ashley, shabby chic and Cath Kidston but can't decide how to mix them all!<br />2. I am always dieting but never successfully because I love cooking and have a cupboard full of cookery books.<br />3. I am addicted to buying fabric even if it's just to look at.<br />4. I love my daughter and I love being a Mum. <br />5. I am useless at sticking to one thing, I have a huge ammount of half started crafts that I haven't completed and an enormous ammount of craft equipment/tools that I don't have time to use!<br />6. I'm scared of flying.<br />7. I love pickled onions!<br /><br />So now I need to pass it on to seven lovely bloggers, who are<br /><a href="http://silkyprudence.blogspot.com/">Silky Prudence</a><br /><a href="http://thefabricofmylife.blogspot.com/">Donna Flower</a><br /><a href="http://petitfiloux.blogspot.com/">Petit Filoux</a><br /><a href="http://littlecottonrabbits.typepad.co.uk/my_weblog/">Little Cotton Rabbits</a><br /><a href="http://countryinthetown.blogspot.com/">Country In The Town</a><br /><a href="http://tearosehome.blogspot.com/">Tea Rose Home</a><br /><a href="http://everythingneet.blogspot.com/">Everything Neet</a><br /><br />Congratulations to you guys, you deserve it!Janethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03419663887477837470noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6982795467339641030.post-54949928529054472102010-03-25T11:59:00.000-07:002010-03-25T12:23:38.421-07:00Rainy DayI bought some blank cards a few months back with the intention of making my own greetings cards, but they had been lost in my sewing room along with everything else. So as Saturday was such a dismal rainy day I thought I would retrieve them and give card making a go. I had some of the little patchwork squares left from Little one's skirt and started off with them<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S6u18kw0eFI/AAAAAAAAA9U/-j_CfZJXCG8/s1600/IMG_2636.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S6u18kw0eFI/AAAAAAAAA9U/-j_CfZJXCG8/s400/IMG_2636.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452651826127337554" /></a><br />a mini bunting birthday card<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S6u18MyB3cI/AAAAAAAAA9M/N2A3YHRr7e8/s1600/IMG_2629.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S6u18MyB3cI/AAAAAAAAA9M/N2A3YHRr7e8/s400/IMG_2629.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452651819689958850" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S6u186fqtII/AAAAAAAAA9c/EGM1ybWtRgw/s1600/IMG_2633.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S6u186fqtII/AAAAAAAAA9c/EGM1ybWtRgw/s400/IMG_2633.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452651831960974466" /></a><br />then I made a wedding card with a cute little wedding dress<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S6u19dkg04I/AAAAAAAAA9k/FPl_2h1Tpd0/s1600/IMG_2638.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S6u19dkg04I/AAAAAAAAA9k/FPl_2h1Tpd0/s400/IMG_2638.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452651841376539522" /></a><br />I must say it was quite addictive!

It's so addictive! Whilst trying to tidy up my sewing room the other day, I found these Patchwork squares.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S6dYuKuOyOI/AAAAAAAAA7k/tzW9Ff56kFo/s1600-h/IMG_2609.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S6dYuKuOyOI/AAAAAAAAA7k/tzW9Ff56kFo/s400/IMG_2609.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451423424130762978" /></a><br /><br />I had completely forgotten that I had bought them! (I know I have some more somewhere with butterflies on them) So I started to sew them together and made Little one a new skirt. There seems to be a lot of patchwork around for childrenswear this season, there are some lovely dresses in Next with crochet bodices and patchwork skirts. I'd love to have a go at making one of those!<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S6dYvJFiOyI/AAAAAAAAA7s/ya4pkgPO2QY/s1600-h/IMG_2611.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S6dYvJFiOyI/AAAAAAAAA7s/ya4pkgPO2QY/s400/IMG_2611.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451423440871504674" /></a><br /><br />After three weeks of waiting (un)patiently, my seeds have germinated! I know I should have really had them in a heated propagator, but mine is underneath everything in the shed! Anyway, on the south facing kitchen window there was obviously enough heat to get them through.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S6dYwA9KGYI/AAAAAAAAA78/ylOwfuIFRKw/s1600-h/IMG_2613.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S6dYwA9KGYI/AAAAAAAAA78/ylOwfuIFRKw/s400/IMG_2613.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451423455868754306" /></a><br />As you can probably see from my home made label, these are Aubergines and Peppers<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S6dYvmSScyI/AAAAAAAAA70/KUs_aV0Ui_s/s1600-h/IMG_2612.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S6dYvmSScyI/AAAAAAAAA70/KUs_aV0Ui_s/s400/IMG_2612.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451423448709624610" /></a><br />and these are Artichokes. I tried these once before, they came up well but when I planted them in the garden I put them in quite a shady spot and they didn't really grow much bigger, so I think these will need a sunny position. If you want to have a go at growing them, got my seeds from <a href="http://www.sarahraven.com/shop/seeds/vegetables-salad-herb-seeds/vegetable-seeds/artichoke-violetta-di-chioggia.html">Sarah Raven</a>, her site is great with lots of information about the plants and seeds she sells.Janethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03419663887477837470noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6982795467339641030.post-23220426022421609062010-03-18T04:46:00.000-07:002010-03-18T07:24:39.857-07:00Summer SkirtsSpring is well on the way, so I've been thinking ahead to Summer and making some children's Summer clothes. I love designing and making childrenswear and have wanted to have my own range for a while now, but as it takes so much time to make all the patterns and the sizes etc I just haven't got around to it. So having a spare few minutes recently, I thought I would start off with some simple little skirts. You know, really pretty little designs that can be dressed up or worn as they are. I found some beautiful floral fabrics in my local fabric shop and have made a couple of designs.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S6IoPBUaFUI/AAAAAAAAA58/OolrtVeZNbo/s1600-h/floralskirt.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 398px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S6IoPBUaFUI/AAAAAAAAA58/OolrtVeZNbo/s400/floralskirt.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449962737588901186" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S6IoPXPdyLI/AAAAAAAAA6E/SCypL7CeGdc/s1600-h/floralskirt6.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 362px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S6IoPXPdyLI/AAAAAAAAA6E/SCypL7CeGdc/s400/floralskirt6.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449962743473752242" /></a><br />One is a simple skirt with elasticated waist and pretty ribbon trim.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S6IoP8X1lsI/AAAAAAAAA6M/xvl7sKHKs4Y/s1600-h/tieredskirt.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 368px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S6IoP8X1lsI/AAAAAAAAA6M/xvl7sKHKs4Y/s400/tieredskirt.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449962753440978626" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S6IoQFVgwiI/AAAAAAAAA6U/2BtqhYfbPUc/s1600-h/tieredskirt4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 351px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S6IoQFVgwiI/AAAAAAAAA6U/2BtqhYfbPUc/s400/tieredskirt4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449962755847143970" /></a><br />The other is a tiered skirt with ric-rac braid and contrast topstitching.<br /><br /><br />They are listed in my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/tinycherubs">Etsy shop</a> and I'm hoping to do Custom Orders for them. I love making clothes for Little One and she gets really excited when trying on my new creations!

Tomatoes, peppers, aubergines, chillis, artichokes and onions are all sitting happily on my kitchen window sill and I am waiting (not very) patiently for them to grow. I also have a lovely pot of hyacinths by the back door, which I think smell gorgeously of Spring.<br /><br />I have made a second quilt and listed in <a href="http://my.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MyEbay&gbh=1&CurrentPage=MyeBayAllSelling&ssPageName=STRK:ME:LNLK">my ebay shop</a> to see how it goes. I did a bit more applique on this one and trimmed it with gingham ribbon and pink ric rac braid. (Not sure you can see it that well in these pictures though.)<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S47Ec3ObIMI/AAAAAAAAA18/_ALgH8WMByg/s1600-h/IMG_2529.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S47Ec3ObIMI/AAAAAAAAA18/_ALgH8WMByg/s400/IMG_2529.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444504999677337794" /></a><br /><br />It is made with a mini pink polka dot fabric, embroiderie anglais in pink and cream, red gingham, Laura Ashley Polka Dot in Eau de Nil and Cath Kidston's Little Rose, which is a really cute fabric.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S47EdTwRdVI/AAAAAAAAA2E/CbHSYG2aHNU/s1600-h/IMG_2530.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S47EdTwRdVI/AAAAAAAAA2E/CbHSYG2aHNU/s400/IMG_2530.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444505007335503186" /></a><br />I'm pleased with this one, the colours have come out well.

But Spring is just around the corner and so, to celebrate, here's some more bunting, this time in some lovely bright colours!<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S4ggHL5yWmI/AAAAAAAAA0M/NLGWMXRFaZ0/s1600-h/IMG_2498.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S4ggHL5yWmI/AAAAAAAAA0M/NLGWMXRFaZ0/s400/IMG_2498.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442635457503582818" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S4ggHx6I8UI/AAAAAAAAA0c/ITVBznf6CW4/s1600-h/IMG_2503.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S4ggHx6I8UI/AAAAAAAAA0c/ITVBznf6CW4/s400/IMG_2503.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442635467705610562" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S4ggHt0W2iI/AAAAAAAAA0U/mvMaTVoLlf4/s1600-h/IMG_2510.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S4ggHt0W2iI/AAAAAAAAA0U/mvMaTVoLlf4/s400/IMG_2510.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442635466607614498" /></a>Janethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03419663887477837470noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6982795467339641030.post-69782121115002445912010-02-23T09:05:00.000-08:002010-02-23T09:52:46.364-08:00RedecoratingI can't believe it's been a month since I last posted. There is a valid reason though; I have been working on a new project and will reveal all soon! In the meantime, I thought I would show you a throw/quilt that I made.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S4QP_HhN6cI/AAAAAAAAAy8/hzEXD-9xElQ/s1600-h/IMG_2428.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S4QP_HhN6cI/AAAAAAAAAy8/hzEXD-9xElQ/s400/IMG_2428.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441491826794949058" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S4QP_72LG0I/AAAAAAAAAzM/INLl0tw5A9A/s1600-h/IMG_2424.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S4QP_72LG0I/AAAAAAAAAzM/INLl0tw5A9A/s400/IMG_2424.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441491840841489218" /></a><br /><br />It fits beautifully on Little one's white cotbed, but would also be lovely as a play mat. The backing is soft white fleece, so it can be used in a pushchair, it's quite versatile!<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S4QQASlLo0I/AAAAAAAAAzU/X7-itwa7cEg/s1600-h/IMG_2422.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S4QQASlLo0I/AAAAAAAAAzU/X7-itwa7cEg/s400/IMG_2422.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441491846944236354" /></a><br /><br />Little one took for first one for her bed, so I made a second, which sold and now I'm making another in Cath Kidston fabric with pinks, reds and a soft green.<br />I'd love to make a double size one for my bed. My bedroom is due for a redec soon. We are trying to go through the house and complete all the little jobs that have been left, but finding that they have been left so long that each room now needs completely re doing! I love Cath Kidston, Laura Ashley and anything Shabby Chic so it's difficult trying to get all those to go together! The porch has been the first place to get the makeover treatment. Husband took up the old floor tiles and put down some new creamy ivory ones that we just happened to 'find' whilst tidying the garage! (I think they are left over from the kitchen when I miscalculated how many we would need and we bought twice as many as we needed!) Anyway, he has made a great job of the tiles and it looks so much fresher out there, that was until little came in wearing her muddy wellies! Ho-hum! Just need to find a new doormat now!<br />I shall post some 'corners of my home' pics as we go along. <br /><br />Also wanted to show you another Hobby Horse I made for an order. This one went to USA so hopefully is happy in her new home!<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S4QP_WtqUfI/AAAAAAAAAzE/-xqeZIEq81g/s1600-h/buntingpics.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S4QP_WtqUfI/AAAAAAAAAzE/-xqeZIEq81g/s400/buntingpics.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441491830873674226" /></a>Janethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03419663887477837470noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6982795467339641030.post-72414342301793821272010-01-23T10:32:00.000-08:002010-01-23T11:57:16.473-08:00Boys and Girls Come Out To PlayBusy, busy, busy........!

You get the magazine, two balls of wool and a crochet hook all for 99p! Of course I already know how to crochet and I thought it may be a bit basic but I've actually learnt a new stitch, this textured stitch.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S08AV4RN_RI/AAAAAAAAAro/0ZlzHfHpN0o/s1600-h/IMG_2349.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S08AV4RN_RI/AAAAAAAAAro/0ZlzHfHpN0o/s320/IMG_2349.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426556451886595346" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S08AW_LsT3I/AAAAAAAAAr4/y8Cm9nW576E/s1600-h/IMG_2352.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S08AW_LsT3I/AAAAAAAAAr4/y8Cm9nW576E/s320/IMG_2352.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426556470922334066" /></a><br />It's basically one row of dc and then the next row is 1 dc and 1 tr repeated. I've used the chunky yarn provided and it looks gorgeous in this raspberry colour. The photos look a little dark, sorry! It's the lack of natural light lately.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S08AWS44ZYI/AAAAAAAAArw/WEEiHRknuJU/s1600-h/IMG_2351.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S08AWS44ZYI/AAAAAAAAArw/WEEiHRknuJU/s320/IMG_2351.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426556459032274306" /></a><br /><br />The idea is to build up squares to make a throwover.

I was hoping to post some beautiful photos of snow but as yet we seem to have escaped the worst of it. We had a fairly heavy snow shower last week but most of it has melted now. Just cold weather and patches of ice.<br /><br />I have been busy with more bunting orders this week. I was sure I had already posted this picture but obviously not, just thought I had but didn't! Anyway, it's a 10m length of Cath Kidston Stars and Gingham, bit of a marathon but lovely all the same!<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S0tTaBf7x2I/AAAAAAAAAqw/LuYhDEOWogo/s1600-h/IMG_2221.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_s8ZYGIf-xfE/S0tTaBf7x2I/AAAAAAAAAqw/LuYhDEOWogo/s320/IMG_2221.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425521882641975138" /></a><br /><br />More snow is forecast, so perhaps I can post some pictures soon!Janethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03419663887477837470noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6982795467339641030.post-13415921903046264192009-12-26T03:46:00.000-08:002009-12-26T03:48:42.235-08:00MERRY CHRISTMAS!Hello, just to wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR whatever you are doing!
