Sewn into a sea of tiny blue flowers

Some recent pictures from my little world...






Today's rays from the sun fell down on us illuminating out across a welcome blue sky.  Isn't it nice to just gaze up at the vastness of the sky when it is like this? feeling the warmth on your skin and imagining how far it really goes on up there! So vast and endless is space it makes it even more amazing that down here on earth there is so much intricate beauty in these teeny tiny flowers and well, everything around us...  I wonder what other sorts of planets there are out there... and with suns just far away enough to give them life, to give them little blue flowers...

This little yellow polka dot halter top I am making is going to be really darn cute.  The stitching I have been doing has been at its best, it's amazing how much you can get sucked into hand stitching things.  Determined to make each little stitch the same perfect short and sweet length as the last one.  I am hankering to do some embroidery but I haven't done it in over ten years and have totally forgotten all the little techniques!  I'll steal lessons from my mother soon as I'm having day dreams of floral details on items....

Have a great weekend, here's to the sunshine and it's healing rays!

Hidden from view

Some recent pictures from my little world...








We went for a little walk today as the weather was too nice to resist it!  I took my holgaroid and we both took lots of pictures in the warm spring sun amongst all the emerging flowers and birds.  This is one of the skirts I have made from vintage fabrics and vintage garments, I like this one a little too much to sell!  We shall see!  I sure could get used to this decent warm weather!
