Haven't done a sewing post for a while so thought I'd do a little catch up. I recently bought a whole load of duck feather cushion inserts and came up with these appliqued cushions, the beach huts & the cottage sold straight away. I've since had orders for more of these 2, some camper van ones a wedding one and some to supply a new Bistro that is opening nearby. So the past couple of days I've sat outside and designed a dozen cushions all of them themed around a line of bunting.
Now the sun is out I've also been busy on the pegbag making front this one is made from a Laura Ashley fabric.
I made this cute bag for myself in my 20 minuters time. I thought it would be great for summer and I do have an awful lot of lace that I need to use up. It came from a tutorial that I can't find now, if I find it I'll add it.
This string of hearts were made for a mother of a bride to add to the wedding gift that she had bought.
I've also added these bits to my craft stall - hanging strawberries scented with strawberries & cream.
I usually put photos of my makes in a facebook album but I've now spent over a month trying to add photos and it doesn't seem to work anymore getting very frustrated with it.
I'll end this post with some sad news, my sweet little Silkie hen Flossie has died. We don't know why she died it could've been the stress of being somewhere new she was only with us for 2 weeks and in that time she wasn't very lively & didn't lay, so she could've been egg bound or it may well have been old age. We do miss her lots though :(

Ohoooo poor Flossie x
Your makes are lovely :0) I had a go at a bunting cushion, though very much a work in progress ;0) There does seem to be alot of bunting themed crafts around which is lovely as bunting is one of my favourites. I am not surprised you have been asked to make some of your pretty cushions, they are adorable.
Nice to see the same fabric I have, and you have used for your gorgeous strawberries, it has been sitting in my stash for a while, and I keep meaning to make something pretty with it :0)
Happy crafting :0)

Sorry to hear about flossie, I was so excited for you when you first had her, it must be awful for you. I love to see all your sewing bits and bobs, I really must get my sewing machine out!xx
Lovely goodies, great minds must think alike, I'm thinking of doing a few appliqued cushions too. Now I have more ideas ;O)
Love the animals too.
Love and blessings

I'm so sorry about Flossie. That's sad.
Your cushions are beautiful. The fish made me giggle - guess what I made for my stall last week... fabric fish! I was so pleased with myself as I'd not seen them anywhere and was inspired to do them after seeing wooden ones in France on holiday a couple of years ago. But they are very different to your lovely fish.
Lovely makes. x
