Happy Weekend!

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend

rolling in the hay

getting outdoors and 

enjoying blue skies and sunshine!

Creative Colour

 

 Colour inspires me to create and design

It excites and inspires me to try out new ideas

and test new boundaries mixing colour, pattern, prints and textures.

My design studio is bursting with colour :-

Derwent pencils, paint chips and fabric swatches.

Colour is such a personal experience.

Everybody has their own special colour :-
mine has to pink  even though I love every colour in the rainbow!

Natural Beauty

'You can take no credit for beauty at sixteen.

But if you beautiful at sixty,

it will be your soul's own doing'

{Quote : Marie Stopes}

Smile when you look in the mirror,

see the positive signs of time on your face 

and show it the respect and daily TLC it deserves.

Pretty As A Picture

Loving this pretty floral inspiration.

I love flowers on wallpaper, fabric, teacups and art.

I love them in the garden or picked in a vase.

In whatever form,

 flowers always manage to put a smile on my face!

Get Cosy For Winter

Winter brings with it lots of heart warming moments - like watching snow falling for the first time in the season. There's a lots of things I love about winter like skiing, ice-skating, watching DVD's in bed and relaxing by a wood fire immersed in a good book. When it's too bleak and wet to venture outdoors I head for the kitchen to try out a new winter dish. I love the thought of velvety chocolate puddings with caramel sauce, rustic pasta dishes like macaroni cheese and homemade pies with buttery pastry. When there's a break in the weather we layer up in warm coats and cosy knits and go for a stroll along the river before heading back to the comfort of the fire.

Sunday Leisure

Sundays are the perfect day for :-
reading in your PJ's
having lunch alfresco
taking an afternoon nap
going for a bike ride and
picking some garden flowers.
 

Happy Sunday!
