daisy chain

Did you have a good weekend? It's been quite cold and windy here recently and after being seduced by April's sunshine and warmth, the jumpers have made an appearance once more.

I've got a few little domestic sewing projects on the go at the moment for there are changes afoot in the h&r household and perhaps some news to come in the next few weeks or so. There are so many things I want to achieve and sadly so little time, Half Term is next week and they've only just gone back!

For the things I have in mind I'm determined to use what is already in the stash, which is why I finally cut into this one. Bennison's 'daisy chain'. Finding this was a major coup, it retails for an outrageous amount but the price I paid for my two small panels made me skip and dance all the way home as I'm sure you can well imagine.

In a way, it's probably just as well they are smaller pieces, I think that ensured I didn't hoard for forever and a day. So guess what, I've been making cushions again! I used my unbleached antique linen sheet for the back. This is serving me very well indeed as I bought it for next to nothing and am getting a whole lot of mileage for my money. Hmm, very satisfying all round.

Enjoy the week!
