August Days

The august days are flying by....hope you are enjoying this summer month dear readers....

..........here is the brass bed with some of my vintage charm quilts......i always love to see patchwork quilts on this bed.....

............it was chilly and rainy here a week ago and we were glad of our cosy quilts.....

......it's been much more summery though most of this week........

..........i made a little sewing set using the gorgeous handcraft material fabric by yuwa which i bought from rose garden patchwork.....there is a needle book, a pincushion and a scissor keep and it was fun to fussy cut the fabric to make these...... (pattern in my etsy shop link in sidebar)......

........i made the needle book pages using spotty red felt ..........

........i enjoyed using some of my collection of old haberdashery items as props in these pictures.....

...........daisies on the fabric....and daisies in the garden.......so many flowering this year and i love their happy faces......

.........plenty of butterflies in our garden too...mainly cabbage whites..... here is a beautiful peacock butterfly exactly where you would expect to find it.....on the buddleia or butterfly bush....

.....close to our home is the local common where we love to walk, and have all our lives.....i've always loved the colour of the heather since childhood....my husband took this picture which captures the colours so well........

..........other walks this week were beside the sea.......beautiful fresh sea air and warm sunshine made it very pleasant......lots of seabirds here and the remains of a jetty from long ago when this quiet little bit of the coast was more important for seafarers.........

.......thank you for dropping by to share a bit of my little world lovely readers......and thank you for the kind comments you leave, it's always so nice to hear from you......hope you are enjoying happy, crafty times and that you are keeping well.........take care lovelies........back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
