I might keep this one myself

I made this cushion yesterday afternoon to put in the shop but I think I have fallen for it myself. I've had the fabric a long time and the plan was to make a new curtain in our hall with it but plans have now changed because I sat the cushion on the sofa after I had photographed it outside and it looke gorgeous. So plans have changed. I need new fabric for the hall and the this fabric has now become, as well as this cushion, a new tablecloth(we have a combined dining/sitting room) and will be two or three big squishing cushions for the sofa.

So I'm still selling this one. It's in my Misi shop now waiting for a good home.

Too much stock?

I'm re-organising all my storage today so got most of my stock all in one place. I was quite amazed by how much there is when I see it all together. I should be doing a craft fair! I do like the way it all looks together though. I think I have finally developed quite a distinctive style.

From my Inspiration Files

I love my magazines but with a small home I can't keep them all so regularly go through them cutting out the best bits and re-cycling the rest. I used to put the cut out sheets into plastic sleeves in ring binders but lately I have been glueing the best bits into scrap books and creating my own lovely inspiration journal. I think I now have around 10 ring binders and so far 5 scrap books. I love looking back over them for inspiration both for my work and our home. I thought I'd share a few pages today. The majority of the images come from Country Living Magazine with possibly a few others from Country Homes & Interiors or Homes & Gardens.

The Heart of the Home

I had so much fun yesterday creating this wall decoration.
