I’m sure most of you have noticed my life has been quite full on these past few months. In fact, it’s been full on since last October when we bought a house and had to sell one in a matter of weeks. And then move. And then have a baby. And all the stuff that’s happened this year. I think I’m ready for a rest.
I feel like my blog has been all about hospitals and the shop and mad activity of late, so today I just felt like taking photos of a few piles of fabric, work in progress, new acquisitions and the garden. Just like the olden days.
I’m making some wall bags for kids using demin and my favourite yukata fabric – it’s brown with green, blue and purple windmills – the folded ones – not buildings. Gosh it feels terribly cathartic having a fabric shot here. Ahhhhh. And relaaaax….
Oh and look – a pile of Liberty babycord – the one on the left is tana lawn – soon to be a dress. The second to left shall become a jacket for Astrid and I’m still pondering the other three.

The cinnerarias are out. I bought a pair of purple suede shoes on Saturday exactly the same colour. I shall photograph them soon. They are absolute shoe perfection. I am completely in Love.
I have to confess I was outside the other day and just wished the fresias would finish because I can’t keep up with picking them. There was a jonquil as high as my shoulders which I forgot to photograph. You wouldn’t believe the soil here. Pure volcanic wonderfulness.
And, an old-fashioned blog post it wouldn’t be without a little shopping snippet. Original oil from Junk and Disorderly in Onewa Rd. It started a minor bout of art collecting, which, after the acquisition of four paintings in the space of a fortnight, has now stopped.
