How wonderful to have all of this beautiful land to roam.

Don't know what kind of tree this is but it is very beautiful.

Hearts cushion

Didn't really want to part with this one - the hearts are made from Laura Ashley fabric which I used to sew a maternity pinafore when I was expecting my first baby girl Jennie. Happy memories x

Happy hens

Linen

Blue hand dyed linen drying on the washing line in the sun. Great for sashiko. 

Vintage

Love the faded blues of this 1970s Laura Ashley print. So pretty. May have to keep this cushion when it's finished !

Daisies

Sunning themselves 

Walkies!!

A rather damp walk up the burn this afternoon but Tala and Scout had a great time chasing bubbles in the water. They are so funny. 

Happily stitching

This vintage linen is just so lovely to work with. Not sure if these are trees or flowers! They are sweet anyway! Will be sewn onto little zip purses tomorrow
