Hey! Long time no post!
No Easter tree for me this year, as I am away. Wishing you all lots of eggs (and a bit of chocolate too!) with this, my little German smoker bunny!
There you go! I'm terrible. I made myself another scarf, I'm sorry it isn't ironed (how bad is that?!) It's very baroque, don't you think? 
Meanwhile, because the weather had suddenly changed from winter to summer in the past week, I have been doing a little bit of planting too, so that the windowsills look so much brighter!
Last year's herbs, rosemary and lemon verbena are thriving, and a new addition has made its home on the kitchen windowsill: thyme!
Hope you are all having a lovely weekend!
Last Monday I wasn't working and went to the Paris fabric mecca near Sacré-Coeur basilica. I did not resist this lovely Japanese style fabric which came in at 4€ and this gorgeous green roses ribbon which was all of 4€80 for a metre. Hey presto! 30 minutes later, I had a unique lovely cotton spring scarf for all of 8€80 or about 12.50$ or 7.70 quid (£ if you prefer). 
Meanwhile, things are happening on the kitchen windowsill! The rosemary has withstood winter and is beginning to bloom! 
Happy weekend!
Hi everyone! This is a cushion made with a gorgeous whitish fabric and a wolf pack border. This above is the front, and this below is the back.
And this was last night's sunset. After a week of glorious, HOT weather and gorgeous sunsets, we are in for drab and dreary again says the weatherman. Ah well...
Enjoy your weekend, I hope it's a good one for all of you.
Hello! It's been a long time since I posted. Co-author Marinagrenadines hasn't been able to access her blogger account for God knows how long, so I thought I'd show you my latest work. Now this might not be to everyone's taste, but I am in love with it. The fabulous 'Dakota' fabric by Alexander Henry that I had ordered from Canada on Etsy has become a cushion, complete with a fake leather fringe also ordered on Etsy and that arrived from the USA!
Meantime, after a wonderfully sunny week, we are back to drab and dreary so I decided it was time to add some colour at home!
Here's another little cushion I made from the fabrics I had bought in Pendleton to which I added the cream tiny horseshoe fabric bought in France.
And this is the back!
Wishing you all a wonderful Sunday and new week (I'm not working tomorrow, yay!) 
These are 'ear bowls'. The typical French breakfast bowls. These are used on a daily basis in my kitchen. They are Quimper pottery, for the most part depicting traditional Breton costumes. A little while back, MB bought a Quimper piece (see it here) so this post is for her!
Here's a bit more of my collection!
This last one is a Celtic cross. 
Quimper faïence has existed since the end of the 17th century. These are all pieces by Henriot manufacture. Unfortunately, just this month, their dire financial situation has been made public. I hope, hope, hope that this tradition of hand made pottery isn't going to die... or worse... be transferred to China.
February and March are rugby months. France, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, England and Italy compete in the 6 Nations championship. Yesterday, a drab, dreary, foggy, drizzly and cold Saturday, my friend L. and I went to the middle of nowhere in the countryside: a small town where the French team trains. As it happens, we weren't going there for rugby reasons but because the largest quilt fabric shop around Paris is located there. Both being long-time rugby fans, we arrived at lunchtime and sought out a rugby restaurant.
It looked closed yet there was a light inside. L. jumped out of the car and went inside. As things go, the restaurant was indeed closed but the gent was nevertheless willing to serve us something to eat. We had the whole place to ourselves!
After lunch, serious business began. We spent one and a half hours at Best of Quilting, which happens to have a sister shop in Woodinville, WA. We also spent quite a bit of money.
This last one she bought, which is one large panel, I think is absolutely gorgeous and would make a superb bag!
As for me... well... I needed fabric for a newborn who arrived late last year at a colleague's:
Then I also wanted something to complement my cowboy fabrics and found some tiny hooves which I think are pretty cool. I couldn't resist the lovely words on this fabric and will most certainly find some sort of use for it!
Finally, I had to find some fabric to make a friend a cushion.
Oh, and I've ordered some fabric on Etsy that I'm very excited about. More about it when I receive it! Now we've both got tons of work ahead!
Happy Sunday to you all!
