So, I realise that it's been some time since I've posted, and it's really just that life has gotten in the way of me having some quite time on the computer to blog.
Sewing wise I've been working on my current projects, and also one more thing that I didn't share with you the other day... because we just moved house I've been wanting to do some new placemats for us to use for dinners and things like that. I absolutely LOVED the High Society range from Anthology fabrics, they have a good compromise feeling in that they are not too girly, but are quite earthy and fun.
So I've been making some placemats for us - just some little touches for our new home. I picked 5 of the prints above to be included (taking out the ones that were too flowery) and added Kona solids in Coal (I think). At the moment they look like this - stacked up waiting to be finished
But soon they will look more like this. I had lay them all out to ensure that I had a "random" enough look in the designs of each placemat. I've already bought the special thermal wadding and I'm going to use a dark brown for the binding, hopefully they'll come together!
The other thing that I've been doing is a little "gardening". We have lots of outside space here and I would really like it to be a lush green oasis - but given my brown thumb past we decided that I should start small - 3 herbs - and see how I go with these!
