String Bean Vintage Note

September 2016

Have just put finishing touches to my latest picture, its a  called The Lido with lots of nostaglic detail in it as summer comes to an end and we store up happy memories of holidays and sunshine to see us through the winter.

I shall start this week now with another picture, going through fabrics and sketching a few ideas at the moment in readiness.




Will post again soon.......

String Bean Vintage Note

String Bean Vintage Note

September

Lots going on so not a lot of sewing done but had a stall recently at Alrewas Art Fair and had a lovely day with lots of sales and nice comments about my cards. I didn't take any vintage items, just a very simple stall with my greetings cards, some cards all ready in frames for lovely gifts and two of my original works.

Am currently finishing off a summer picture and will then begin to think about designs for autumn/winter. Need to rummage through my boxes of fabric and see where it takes me ....

I am keeping things quiet and low-key but will do a few of my favourite events and keep sewing.

Took some furniture over to the lovely vintage shop Curly Magpie and Friends in Swadlincote the other day....a fab blue shelf/cupboard and also a cream coffee table which sold immediately! I'm currently on the look-out for a nice big table to sew on and an old cupboard for my kitchen.

Will post again soon....
