he Royal Wedding tomorrow and the prospect of our street party has bought out a flurry of bunting and in order not to be left behind on all this activity I have made my own - bonkers version of those patriotic little flags! Could not help but to applique some rabbits and doggies as alternate flags.....Have nt finished them yet but will post when I have....and if I have the guts to display them in public!
appy days when I realise how wonderfully talented my mum and my Fran are.....this little chap is something mum knocked up in time for Easter and the stitched butterflies is something Fran did over 3 years ago on the old sewing machine whilst chatting about her friends at college......amazing...
had really given up hope of ever seeing my hankerchief tree flowering as I bought it 15 years ago and it had never shown any sign of wanting to grace us with its spectacular white bracts that look like hanging hankerchiefs. So imagine my surprise when I realised that this was the year that it was going to happen!
e have all been so frantically busy at home for the last couple of weeks that I have nt even had time to post anything....however Fran has been doing some great fashion drawing in sketchbooks which I thought were definitely worthy of a post! I love the way she has incorporated photocopies ias part of the final artwork..
o beautiful, so like my Fin, and now so mine! I cannot believe what my friend Nicky pulled out of a brown paper bag and presented me with but this gorgeous jug by her very talented mum over in south Africa. When Gay du Toit heard that I had fallen in love with it because the little boy reminded me of Finlay, she sent it over for me.....
icking balls and throwing stones has always been a passionate pursuit for Christian, and yesterday, 17 years of practice paid off when his team won the semi finals of the Daily Mail RBS Under 18 Vase! They now get to play the final at Twickenham....every schoolboys dream come true! They are an awesome team and there was not a dry eye amongst the 200 supporters who had travelled up to the pitch in Coventry yesterday....Unfortunately these pics are not of the game itself as Nick and I were far too nervous to take any photos! the photos above are from the quarter finals....
