A Stitch in Time Saves Nine

this week on SPa the theme is Sewing... It was my turn to make the sample... and here it is!

I've been using chalk inks a lot lately and i'm enjoying a return to them! they lend themselves so well to vintage.

Oh So Pretty

My Boy takes a Bath

Oh dear... he was not a happy boy this morning... firstly, i had to chase him to get him in the bath... then when he was nice and clean would he look at me? oh no! And no kisses for Mama either! Myrtle is just looking on perplexed!

No Ink equals ....

a productive Sunday in other ways... I did some baking of coconut cookies, some fairy cakes, crocheted 14 granny squares and wandered amongst the flowers!

My inspiration

On Louise's tag challenge this week, you have to use a word that inspires you.... i've gone a little outside the brief by using images that inspire me.... not only zetti but it's my two daughters who inspire me the most, they are beautiful and keep me going... and who have been transformed!!Lot's of things inspire me... not usually words... but people, nature, colour, animals, music ~ life!
