    Oh, the birds are very cute - I love the green one, I love all things which are green - I'm gardener!

    You are so talented.

    I love your blog Helen and have been a follower for quite a while! The birds are all gorgeous, but the white or green would go best in either of my daughters' colour schemes should I be lucky enough to win!
    You have a great way with colour and I have bought quite a bit of fabric for my stash from your recommendations.
    I note you are from the north west - have you ever been to Standfast in Lancaster for their Liberty bargains?
    Kind regards
    Ann

Reminds me of the elephants and ducks that we can get here at the Indian markets. Everything you put together matches so perfectly. I love that! Have a great week. Tammy
