liberty love


February half term.
The guaranteed grey and damp weather has occasionally been interspersed with splashes of blue sky, and a break in the bitterly cold winds that make you want to curl up with a book and a cup of tea and hibernate until June.


Splashes of colour are starting to creep in amongst the mud brown and the sky greys, there are bright white snowdrops, fresh green shoots, and a few brave purple crocus petals to be found if you look carefully.


I am finding my own colour in my oh so precious stash of liberty scraps, slowly but surely they are turning into a shoal of liberty lavender fish.


Most of the liberty love this week though is being given to this tiny cushion, a kit that was a Christmas gift, and is being fought over by most of the family, apparently it is "just so cute".

    *SWOON*... Just LOVE Liberty prints! And I love your Liberty bits with so much purples & pinks in them. The lavender fish is a great idea! The cushion is that--Sooo CUTE! Very sweet, Tess. :o) Happy Days ((HUGS)) P.S. Thank you for the great tip of using my clipped yarn ends to give to the birds--brilliant!

    Gorgeous. You've inspired me, I need to make some lavender sachets, at the moment I have it in paper bags!
