Something pretty

Hello everyone, hope you're having a lovely week!

It's a bit rainy and dreary here, but I have been cheering myself up with some lovely images via Pinterest.

Sparkly whites and a bit of purple and pink - bliss!

Snowy Weather and a new look for my header!

I love snow. I think after a lifetime in the sun, the novelty of the soft white flakes drifting downwards has yet to wear off! So with the first snow falling and after a very hectic month away with friends and family over November, I've decided my first post now that I'm back seems like a fitting time to show off my new blog header, complete with seasonal snowy images.

(Okay, I had to cheat with some from last year, but you get the idea! :) )

I have to say a big thank you to my sis, Letitia from The White Shed, for the lovely photo of my linen ruffle cushions (you can buy them at her gorgeous shop over here). The rest of these are my own photos, and it seemed like it was about time I got some things that I made up there.

Of course, snow goes hand in hand with Christmas, so while the snow is falling outside, I'm going to be snuggled up indoors making some handmade Christmas decorations which I'll hope to share with you over the next few weeks counting down to the big day!

Have a lovely week!

Linen Smocking - My Latest Linen Obsession

Now, I think that my linen obsession is nothing new, but I've added smocked linen to that obsession. I'd love to know how to do smocking, but unfortunately I have more than enough on my plate for the time being!

Since I don't have the time to learn this skill, I'm going to have to be satisfied with some vintage smocked linens I bought on eBay and these gorgeous images of crisp white linen!

I hope you're having a great week!

Cushions, cushions, cushions!

Okay, so I think I've mentioned a lot once or twice that I make cushions - and one of the reasons I love cushions is because they're such a simple way to change the look in a room and to make a space look more inviting. So when I saw that Ness at Marley and Lockyer is having a giveaway from her lovely shop, which has the most gorgeous cushions, I just couldn't resist sharing this with you.

Here's what you could win...

Like I said, gorgeous!

If you haven't already, pop by Marley and Lockyer to find out more!

And just in case you don't win, I just had to share some more cushion loveliness from some very talented ladies...

These first ones are from Laura at 'My Summer House'...

These are from Kellie at 'Ada and Darcy'...

Oh, and if you want to see some cushions I made - take a look over here!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Hello Yellow - Home Decor & Fashion

Hello lovely bloggy people. :) I've just returned from a week in London, which was a lovely, much needed break and I'm now packing ready to head to Australia to visit my family next week.

I feel like I haven't been blogging very regularly laterly and I thought I'd just let you know that I haven't forgotten about blogging - but it seems like the last few weeks and probably the last few months, I'm just so pressed for time. Unfortunately, that is not likely to change over the next little while, but I will keep trying to post as often as I can and I will have a special giveaway coming up as well.

In the meantime, with spring well and truly in the air here in the UK and with daffodils out everywhere - I thought I'd do a daffodil yellow inspired post today.
