Sunshine, where are you?

 Everytime I start to make some sunglass cases, the sun decides to disappear!

 
Am in the midst of rustling up a little sewing tutorial for these babies in the hope that the sunshine will return :) 

 
 
Back soon, I promise!

A touch of Pink and getting to grips with Windows

 
After the death of my iMac recently, I've been trying to get to grips with using Livvy's laptop and I have to say I hate it :)  Not only did I lose a whole heap of work on my Mac (yes, my fault I didn't bother backing things up) but I've also lost loads of my favourite applications etc.  Where in the past I could quickly upload and edit my photos in Photoshop everything, and I mean everything, just looks and feels so different and it's driving me nuts!!

So with dreadful pictures, I'll show a little of what I've been making recently.  I wanted to make a more focused range for my shop and so decided to pick a limited number of fabrics and take it from there. 

I adored the Aneela Hoey Sherbert Pips fabric the moment I saw it and think it sits really well with the pink flowers and Appleville Houses by Suzy Ultman.

 
I debuted some of these new goodies, together with matching cushions at The Chiswick Summer Fair recently and am pleased to say they went down well - phew!  There's also some other pieces in the range but won't show  those until I sort out the camera and laptop issues.  Plus I'm waiting for my styling assistant to return from a trip to her paternal grandparents later this week.

I also fell in love with the new Swedish Forest, organic cotton fabric by, Mona Luna, I think this print is so sweet for a new baby's nursery and doesn't scream boy or girl, especially when I team it with the lovely co-ordinating olive print, although this pic shows a bag with the co-ordinating blue/grey. 
 
This new range will be added to the shop soon - again when I've sorted out the computer issues!
