Wondering what on earth to post about today, I picked this little posy of wild flowers beside the road today as 'Little S' cycled off to school (which is a mere 5 minutes walk from our house). Well, that's creative isn't it, hehe!! I'm scraping the barrel here, but I do love wildflowers, and I took a pic of them after tying them together with raffia, beside this bundle of linen patchwork pieces.
I bought the patchwork pieces a couple of weeks a go and I'm still thinking about what I'll do with them - I've scribbled 'use for fabric buttons' on the label to give me a hint of one idea, in case I forget!
. . . and a little snapshot of my redundant 'creative space' today. My Big Sis bought me these lovely fabric tapes for my birthday a couple of weeks ago and I've been looking at them ever since - they're almost too pretty to use! I'm thinking they would look nice as a trim on some 'tweedie' fabric hearts when I get the time to experiment.
Also in the pic, my tartan ribbon which gets used quite a lot, a little bit of bling (sequins) appearing on a tweedie bauble, some fabric buttons (my bumblebee embroidered one which I was quite pleased with), and to the left, a little box which my youngest made in school (made from mathcboxes), which gets used for storing little things that would otherwise get lost in my 'creative jungle'.
Ah well, better get on with the job in hand, which unfortunately means a heap of housework today - maybe, if I'm good, I'll squeeze some crafting in . . . much later! More creative peeps over here :)

I love the tapes - what a great sis you have! I have the middle one with the hearts on, isn't it a beauty.
The little posies look like something Elizabeth Bennett would pick for Darcy before he woke...romantic!
oh the textures here are a delight~
I personally love wildflowers, so I think it's a lovely photo. Maybe a quiet space but one full of pretty possibilities.
glad teenage son seems to be settling in :)
picking flowers is creative, you need to arrange them so thats being creative ;)
