Had a little bit of sunshine this week and that always overfills my energy so my dad and I decided to cut down some trees in the garden as they were overhanging the neighbours and they were really too close to the house that the roots may do future damage. So sadly they had to be chopped back quite a bit. I also cleared out some fabric for the charity shop. I love a clear out the light feeling of making space. I seemed to have a growing pile of fabrics that I knew I wouldn't be using for myself or to make things with for the shop. An afternoon was spent sorting out and stacking them up and then taking them to my local charity shop. The lady in my local shop was thrilled with the fabrics as well which made it an more enjoyable good deed. Though I hate clearing out fabric it just feels wrong as I see so much potential in fabrics and even now a couple of days after clearing out I still worry I have done the wrong thing and think I should have kept it all for the future. Which is crazy I know! Stop judging me ;-)
I have also opened up a Wanelo account. If you don't know what this is, it is an online community of shops where everyone can share images from these shops in to groups. I am not loving it at the moment I have to say. It doesn't seem to make sense. My feed is full of products I don't like and I didn't put them there.They have categories but I can't choose where my products go except the basic Woman, Man or Home. It seems a bit odd and more geared to big shops especially the trending tab. How can a little shop like mine compete with massive home retailers in terms of traffic? Any way I shall keep trying to like it and see how it goes over the coming weeks. If you are interested here is my store link:

If you are on there and can give me any tips please please leave comments I need all the help I can get. Heehee :-)
My pinterest page this week was followed by PinterestUK, which I was very excited about and then they emailed me with an interesting proposal which I can tell you more about soon hopefully.
Take care

I am constantly inspired by the old to create something new. I adore old doilies, crochet lace and fabrics, they bring me so much joy. I am in love with the Swedish, Shaker and French Châteaux styles. It is a soft, relaxed, feminine, romantic way of decorating that looks comfortable and inviting. My creative process and my drive to create is sometimes random, I like to play around with my fabrics in an unstructured way so I do not always know what I will make but come inside and I will show you.
