Good lord, it has been busy here. So busy that I have set up our son's bedroom as a another workroom so that I can continue working while Isabella plays. These days the postman brings not only the usual bills - yuk - but huge boxes like these
It made me laugh to see 'Heavy' written on it as I almost fell over under the weight! Inside there lay a pile of Liquorice Allsorts.
Though on closer inspection it appears they are notebooks, hundreds (literally) of them
all waiting to be turned into hand embroidered notebooks festooned with Lavender & Bees
or a Little House in russet
Piles of Winter Notebooks

and my new Garden Journal (still not uploaded yet...sigh) are filling boxes and shelves everywhere I look.
And don't get me started on the Christmas Hearts! No, you are safe; I won't put a picture up of those just yet, but the house already seems fairly festive. Oh, and extremely messy with boxes and threads trailing me wherever I step.
So, that is what the postman brings here and now I am off to take the children to school before cutting out the next pile.
Have a fun day x

I would love to receive a huge box of 'licorice allsorts' like you did! They will look much prettier though with their sewn jackets! x
ReplyDeleteYou busy girl! Have just sent you a long and rambly emnail., which will distract you from your 'to-do, to-make' list!
ReplyDeleteHave a happy day!
Love Diana x
Good for you, you are going to be incredibly busy, enjoy x
ReplyDeleteLove the bits about threads trailing - happens to me too, but mine are combined with Ben's black fluff!
ReplyDeleteWow you sound very busy! But good to be. Although my fingers hurt at the thought of so much sewing. Gorgeous results though.

ReplyDeleteLove to see the transformations being wrought here Pipany, with such pretty end results! Best wishes, Lesley
ReplyDeleteI used to draw in little black books like these at college - I still do sometimes - but how much more beautiful you have made them look! Such a tempting buy with your pretty embroidered covers! Looks as if you will be kept very busy in the run up to Christmas.
