by the sea shore...


A little something made on a rainy Wednesday has safely reached it's destination...

A mobile made with shells, buttons, tiny seed pearl beads, linen ties, old silver trinket bits, a paper boat and crochet flower. Threaded with linen thread and attached to the inside ring of an embroidery hoop.

I was inspired for this project by Kristina's beautiful petit bateau kits and the lovely mobile in Meet Me At Mikes. If you haven't already acquainted yourself with this gorgeous book you quite simply must, it's fabulous!

Kitchen planning is progressing nicely with a major find this afternoon. Deserving of a post all it's own I think, back soon...

woof...


Thank-you for your kind words about our new cushion. I seem to be in a finishing phase at present and I must say it's very satisfying. This little guy, a gift for my darling nephew {pattern from sock and glove} was finished a couple of weeks ago.





May is a big month for birthdays in our world, lots of friends and family celebrating so I have a few things on the go. We are also in the process of some serious planning for our kitchen renovation and are finding inspiration from some favourite books and are keenly watching the progress over at shelter.



It's a gorgeous day here, hope you are having a happy Wednesday, where ever you may be...
