I saw this in a shop in Derbyshire and fell in love with the baby blue colour. It’s an old Imperial 200 typewriter, all in full working order as far as I can see, although I haven’t tried it out yet. This lovely thing currently takes pride of place upon my mum’s old welsh dresser,Continue reading “Pink, retro and typewriters!”

My bible of books
My bible of ideas! These are just a few of my favourite books that give me pleasure just to look through them. They are great for coming up with new ideas of things to make or just for changing a room scene. I always watch any Kirsty Allsop craft and vintage programmes and last yearContinue reading “My bible of books”
Fabric!
Boys Fabric! I love these fabric designs, courtesy of fabric rehab. The London buses is my particular favourite. I’m currently making yet another kit bag for my transport obsessed son with it.

Telephone Pinboard
A cute telephone fabric pinboard, with a red ribbon crossover for effect. Just add pins and off you go.

This garden had lovely handmade bunting by the owner and transformed a plain fence. I might well do this in myContinue reading “Bunting!”
Inspiration!
Saw this beautiful tablecloth at a café in Matlock. Love the design and the colours!
Sewing Tidy
Pretty sewing tidy in Cath Kidston original bird fabric. It has pink bias binding on the edges and can be hung up on the loop provided or folded away as in the pictures. Lovely and useful for the crafter yet nice to look at too! If you like this, you can buy it on Folksy.
Hexagonal Pincushion
Here are a few of my favourite pincushions.
Notice Boards
I’ve just made this vintage floral memoboard. The fabric is Cath Kidston inspired and would look pretty hanging on a wall in any room. Its very practical too and useful for displaying cards, pictures and anything that takes your fancy! I made this red star noticeboard for my son’s room. No pink or floralContinue reading “Notice Boards”
