Cushion yourself...



Bitten by the summer bug...
Ok ok, the majority of our summer days are rainy but that doesn't mean you can't surround yourself with summer things to brighten up your day..
These gorgeous handmade cushions will definately cheer up a gloomy mood :)

They come in two sizes:
40 x 40 cms
35 x 45 cms
and have 100% down filling, plain backside, wool tapestry flowers and zip.

£47
(or £30 without cushion.)

I only have four (two in each size) so email me fast if you would like one (or two, or three...)

Great as presents or just a summer treat for yourself.

Payments via Paypal or Etsy as usual :)

Desperate housewives....



Nah, forget it..i tried bringing a little bit of 'light' in to my rainy day but didn't feel inspired..i have to leave that top for another (sunny) day.
So, i went in to 50s mood instead and this is what i came up with. This is my desperate housewives dotted apron-summmer dress with pockets..
Cute eh..!:)

A bright, bright day...


I have had this beautiful pale lemon chiffon fabric lying around forever and had completely forgotton about it, untill i had a huge clearout last week.
Im going through a yellow phase at the moment. Not sure if it's the lack of sunshine but i feel my days need brightening up and finding this 'Sunshine' fabric definately did.

Now i need to make a top out of it..I shall make it my mission for this evening!
I'll add pictures of the result as soon as finished :)

A Tuscan wedding.....


Most of you now knows that i have had the honour of being picked for the design and making of the wedding dress and bridesmaids dresses for a Tuscan bride and it is really the most exciting project i have been working on.

We still have another year before the big day but with all planning,sketching and sourcing and last but not least, all fittings, the day they will tie the knot will be here in no time.

So, with the design of the wedding dress decided and the fabrics ordered, we can now start on the bridesmaids dresses.
I will go tulle hunting this week and hopefully we'll have that sorted as well :)

But first..i will enjoy my Mocha Frappucchino :)

I say Yes....!





I have just been commissioned to make a wedding dress and can't believe it. This is so so exciting and the ultimate challenge...my dream order!
But, i have got a big job ahead of me now...wouldn't want to mess this one up ;)

There will be a lot of fabric sampling, sketching and creating the next few months but as soon as it's ready, it will be on here so you can see :)

Wish me luck!
