Button lampshade
Pretty fabric inspiration from @vanessa_arbuthnott_fabrics on my pin board. Always lovely fabrics to work with. I'm currently making roman blinds in 'May Blossom' in a beautiful colourway. .

Lovely neutral stripes in soft coastal colours for this New England inspired scheme. The blinds were made to be fitted at the same height as the roller blind with matching fascia in the door recess to disguise the discrepancy in window heights. The fabric for the blinds was chosen to allow the client to add pops of colour to the room using mementos from their visits to Maine & to be able to easily change the colour of their accessories in the future if they wish to...it was a pleasure to work on this project with my delightful client Clare & with @belindabrooksinteriors who designed a fabulous transformation of this space🦞
Winter flowering geranium & a little calm after the 'storm'...

It's been a busy & at times challenging week. My industrial sewing machine is an essential tool in the workroom & I bought it, mainly, to cope with those fat, interlined pleats which can challenge any machine. It didn't like this weeks task. Franklin's came to my rescue with reassuring advice on the phone & a new needle plate by first class post. I'm now feeling quite smug having cleared the problem, cleaned out the messy tangle of threads, lint & fluff. It's now running smoothly again & ready for the next challenge 🧵💪🧵

Happy Valentine's day❣
I passed this little pop of happy colour on my way to work this morning...which is less than 20 steps away but the blue sky & winter flowers made it an even better start to the day...
