Forest Animal Friends for Tea

Dear Friends,

I wanted to share with you my latest fabric purchase that was made into yet another fabric basket.

This fabric has so many pretty things on it.

First there is the deer and the squirrel having a tea party and cute little apples.

A black cat on a pink polka dot chair and she has a curvy tail 

Then there is a squirrel offering his friend the deer a chestnut. A pretty bird and hedgehog

Checks, Polka dots, mushrooms and flowers, trees and leaves in this beautiful linen look cotton in ecru. And I got to use that golden beige ribbon that has been sitting unloved in my stash for months! 

I can't stop looking at this! I think I am going to make one of those loop scarves with it too.

Have a lovely Wednesday!

xoxo

Hello Friends,

I have been away from blogging for a few weeks.

My love of foxes continues in this recent fabric purchase.

 This fox is so cute. I normally don't go for orange but decided to challenge my comfort zone.

 There is also a hedgehog and an owl and a raccoon!

 I like to keep the selvages and use the dots to find coordinating fabrics

Can't wait to sew this one!

Fox Felt Brooch

Fox Felt Brooch

A few weeks ago I made this little fox brooch out of felt.

I liked how it looked but it is so small, it had to be hand sewn and I worry about my hand sewing!

Normally, I go for the perfection of the machine stitch.

I was in two minds whether to persevere and make more fox brooches, or just forget about it.

Last week I had my first ever order from Australia in my etsy shop.

In a moment of spontaneity and excitement, I included the little brooch as a free gift. Thinking it will travel all the way from a cold and wet UK to sunny OZ, the other side of the planet, and live a happy life there.

That makes me feel very happy inside.
