Flowers and Fishes

 Happy new week dear readers.......here is a picture of my work table taken the other day when i was making some heart blocks for a new pink version of my heartstrings quilt...........

 ...........there are lots of pretty fabrics here already of course but i had to treat myself to just a few new ones as well....work wise i'm very busy at the moment as i've just signed up to do a new book which is very exciting............

 ...........in the garden the sweetheart rose (cecile brunner) is now flowering and twining amongst the wisteria...........

 ..............it's even more like a waterfall this week.......and so deliciously scented.....

 ............the greenhouse was full of cuttings and seedlings and i finally got round to planting some out....

 ..............pelargonium cuttings from one of my favourites.......

 .............lots of seedlings............below is the seed tray i showed here a few weeks ago.....now these cosmos are bigger still and planted out in the cottage garden....i grew millions of seeds this year...or it felt like it when i was planting them all anyway ;).....

 .............and now my latest little fabric fishes...........made from the pattern in my etsy shop......

 .............i found some cute tins which inspired a little more fish stitching......

 ..............the dotty fabric is from lecien's flower sugar rose kiss collection which i'm really enjoying sewing with at the moment.......

 ..............more fishes....some i made last year.....

 ............in fact there is now a whole crateful..............and i am pretty sure there will be more.....

............thank you so much for dropping by to my little crafty space here and sharing my flowers and sewing...........it's always such a treat to read your kind comments too..........wishing everyone a happy week with flowers and crafting......and a thought for those who are maybe not having such a happy time.............sending love to you and wishing you well..............back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
