Summer Flowers

Happy august dear readers.....how fast the months are flying by....we are enjoying summer here very much, with plenty of sunshine (though not too hot)......

..........this is my new appliqué cushion inspired by all the flower vases i have around my home......

........the pattern is now in my etsy shop link in sidebar.......

...........this is one of the many little flower vases from this week.....containing a bright dahlia, sweetpeas, some daisies and petunias.....love all the different flower combinations......

......this is one of my older quilts, made from bright floral fabrics (lots of beautiful old lecien florals in there)....

.....it has been well loved and washed so it is very soft and crinkly now and perfect for cool summer evenings......

...........strawberries in summer fabrics too.......pattern also in my etsy shop as before........

.........a pale pink dahlia....i love them all........

...........the little zinc planter i got at the brocante has now been re filled with summer flowers.....

........so many lovely bright colours in the sunshine.....and below is a pot of summer seeds which grew into pretty love in a mist, candytuft and nasturtiums.........just love all the flowers at this time of year......

.......work-wise i am thinking about next season though as well as christmas....but as a designer i'm used to doing that and still living in the moment......have got a few pumpkins out already though.....

 .....thank you so much for popping in to my little blog space and for your very kind comments and messages.....so lovely to hear from you.....wishing you a happy sunny flowery august with peaceful crafty times.....take care lovelies...................back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
