a day of all weathers...
will i ever get used to the british weather...?
here is my ruffly lovely bag in autumn mode...
inspiration to spend a snuggly day inside, making a matching one for *sarah*, after coffee with the B.B {british bestie}...
sarah won my ruffly-giveaway...she is a doll & inspires me constantly on her gorgeous blog *Modern Country Style*...oh the houses she takes us through...-get over there!
ballet shoes...mac coat & ruffles...autumn...
i'm gonna show you when i get in my winter boots...i'm still holding out...just...!
so...with a coffee under my mac & a morning waiting for rain...i started ruffling...big time...
see my little *i love mum* note up there on my machine...?
that's been there for longer than i can remember...love those moments...it not ever coming off...
so...ruffles by the yard...french ribbon by the roll...rain trying to fall...pots of tea...sarah's bag...
i love sewing with plain fabrics where the texture really shines through...
it's not about the colours...but the design...the shape...the ruffles...
lined in blue french stripe...simple...timeless...
as i finished...the rain bucketed down...pounding against the windows...
B.U.C.K.E.T.E.D...!
*murphy's law*- lunchtime- chance of rain...school pickup- lashing down...!
so i left my cosy little corner...slurped the last of my tea & dashed past my wellies {!!} into the rain...
leaving a pile of ruffles, cotton, fabric & creative chaos for another day...
i so love sewing in cold rainy weather...listening to BBC radio on my laptop...
i've made lotsa extra ruffles today...ready for some cushion creating...for the change of seasons...
& i've been thinking of ruffly wreathes...& other autumn crafting...
there's some little projects i'm wanting to share..so ladies, get your glue guns loaded...!
this cushion is for my sitting chair...
french typeset...old vintage sacks bought in the french countryside whilst brocante loving with my mama...
we had a couple of weeks together, the summer after we first arrived from the sandy beaches of sydney...
i've been saving these for a rainy day...& here's the start of something lovely...
but...i'll keep this to show you for another day...
another rainy autumn day...
~~~~~~~~~~~
happy friday...hope you weekend is full of some ruffle love...
