Pears and new prints

 The run up to xmas has been pretty frantic and so I've missed out posting these new designs. The first is a larger version of my Pear Print design with a gorgeous mustard background.

 This handprinted ModFlowers is normally on a bolster cushion but putting it on a square creates a greta banded effect.

and finally this is a neutral version of a ready made Swedish fabric that I use which is going down a storm over on Dawanda.

As we head towards xmas I'm counting the days till eldest is home from Uni (8 as of today) and praying that the snow we've had doesn't grind everything to a halt and block our journey.

I hope those of you that still read my blog are safe and well and looking forward to your own celebrations wherever you are xx

Grand Designs - Scandinavian House

Lizard Peninsula: The Scandinavian House | 4Homes | Channel4.com

Last night I settled down to wath one of my favourite programmes, Grand Designs, and was totally in love with the design style it being a mix of Scandinavian and vintage. The owner Kathryn Tyler is an interior designer and had collected some wonderful vintage pieces to use in her home. As the programme drew to a close I leapt from my seat as one of my Vintage Houses cushions appeared on the screen!
I cannot tell you what a thrill it is to see something I made in such a beautiful home.
