Hope you all had a wonderful and restful time, I know I did.
I had some fantastic gifts this year, I have been very spoilt, here are a few of my favourites...
Some beautiful Cath Kidston goodies and a book that I have had my eye on for many months.
By boxing day I could stand it no more and had to have a go at some of those fantastic motifs, I decided on triangles.
Nine triangles later and I had some lovely bunting.
I'm not over struck on the colours I used as I was just using what I had spare.
Not the best photos I know, I was struggling to get a decent photo as I was on my own and couldn't find anywhere to hang it, the weather doesn't help much either, so grey and dismal.
Here is motif number 2...
....more bunting maybe, I can feel a trip to the wool shop coming on, bright colours needed.
One last photo to share with you, this is a last minute christmas gift that was finished christmas eve.
Hope you all have a wonderful new year ... speak soon xxx
