Less is more?

Less is more.......



Or is it sometimes...more is more....


When is enough is enough?
Is it now or never to stop?
Or am I, as the hubster says as mad as a hatter.....

New Blog

Please check out my new blog x http://sidmouthknitcafe.blogspot.co.uk/

Sewing in the garden....

Oh at last the sun has arrived..
And the garden becomes another room.....for taking tea, and lunches, evening meals and just .....to be in....


Sat drinking in the sunshine and birdsong and to tell the truth falling in love with my garden again...when on impulse i ran upstairs and grabbed a pile of scraps...
My machine and some bias binding and within an hour I had garden bunting.....
It's just a spur of the moment quick fix....
I have plans to make some more with better fabrics......
eventually......
The neighbours have give me some funny looks and a few have even ventured  to ask me what I am celebrating....to which I replied...SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
