towards Spring

a little shop update is finally scheduled for Tuesday 3 March, details about time will be confirmed on Monday. Here we have some Little Ozzie rabbits in their new attire.. and two lovely posters featuring Lumi and Lewis as the result of a collaboration with Elisabeth..
Enjoy your weekend!

good times

back in England, the batteries have been recharged thanks to some lovely time spent with family and friends. some old dolls rediscovered at my mum's (we made the yellow haired one many many years ago). 24 hours in Paris and a lovely sunny morning in the company of Else
what a pleasure to finally hear Else's sweet Southern French accent..

flowers and wool

I bought this woollen flower material from there and couldn't wait to use it. its woven pattern adds so much texture and richness to the wool, it wasn't hard to be inspired by it.
the new Lumi is standing in front of a wallpaper Elisabeth sent me, i love the clash of patterns it creates..
so the little shop update isn't happening, I have had too much on my plate these last couple of weeks. School break has now started and I am very very very much looking forward to going to France and seeing my family. see you all very soon x

Tartan!

Thank you all for helping with the trousers' dilemna, that was fun! the tartan wool made it to the top of the list so here it is. the green linen trousers will be next, just in time for Spring.
I loved the idea of patchwork trousers suggested by Julia and the lined trousers by Séverine.
A new Lumi with a skirt is now in progress..

le pantalon

a new Lewis (number five) is waiting patiently for a new pair of trousers.
I can't quite make up my mind as to which colour would be best for him and it would be interesting to know what your view is. Tartan wool, brown or green linen trousers?
have a lovely weekend x

in case you missed the English headlines today

morning off

A rare moment of freedom yesterday spent catching up with a dear friend AND visiting my favourite fabric shop. A very nice combination indeed.
I was ecstatic earlier this week when Elisabeth sent me the pictures of her photoshoot with the dolls. they are fantastic, better than what i could ever have imagined. I now have the difficult task to choose the two of them that are going to make it into a print. they will be in the shop at the end of next month hopefully .
Before that I am hoping to have a little shop update, in about two weeks time..
enjoy the end of the week x
