lady birds




Cannot stop entering spoonflower competitions at the moment, I seem to need a deadline in order to complete anything these days! A trip to the Natural History Museum ( which is stunning and has a new Darwin Center ) and the subject of insects has got me thinking about specimen cases full of bugs all lined up....

Sharp intakes of breath all weekend as friends and family are introduced to this stunning photo by the wonderful Rebecka from Vintage fairytales.
All the women love it and all the men are not too sure! I think that it is fabulous, the colours and the clarity are so vivid that it just reminds me of hot summer days dozing in the garden. A truly lovely gift on this grey january weekend...
