A Happy Bedroom

Pretty things in my bedroom make me happy - these are a couple of my favourites.... the patchwork quilt I made last year, my first crocheted cushion and my beautiful Cath Kidston bedding....

Crocheted shrug

This is a little crocheted shrug / cover up, that I made a couple of years ago and never really got round to photographing it or even wearing it! So in our current hot climate I threw it on over a little dress that I made the other day and it served just the right purpose, enough shoulder coverage to be demure and loose enough to still be cool on a hot day :)

The pattern is from Stitch n Bitch Crochet : The Happy Hooker, and is 'Short n Sweet' by Angela Best. Its a little tricky to get the hang of but I found close inspection of the charts helped me along when I got stuck.

Holiday pining

I'm pining for a hot holiday.

Now - I'm not being ungrateful here because I went on a lovely break to Dorset a month ago and that was pretty warm and I had a fabulous time, but there is nothing quite like going on a break to lie on the beach and read a book, and have that warm salty glowing feeling at the end of each day from the sea air, and eating delicious food at a beach front restaurant with a cold beer, I would give anything for that at the moment..... I'll just have to make do with the memories of my favourite holidays instead xxx

Magic Theatre

I went to see an open Artists Studios evening in Dalston on Friday and whilst there I discovered the work of Ali Hutchinson and I fell in love with and bought this beautiful print.....
