The weather this week has been damp and foggy until yesterday when I woke to a perfect autumn day. I had been wanting to visit
Julie at Threadbear Cottage for what feels like ages so I decided to ignore work and make the most of the sunshine. Julie lives only 30 minutes away from me and the countryside is beautiful. Everywhere looks lush and green again, I guess the drought is definitely over. Julie's house and shop are so beautiful and inspiring, full of the many gorgeous things she has made. I bought a sweet little doll for Charlie's room and hung it beside her noticeboard. Charlie noticed as soon as she came home from school and loves it. The little red doll I bought for me, it looks really cute with my red and white things. Julie was so generous and gave me some of her famous potpourri and a lavender heart, my house is smelling amazing right now! Thank you so much Julie, visiting with you was the highlight of my week!
As for my sewing, I have been plugging away at my Vignette quilt and have finally finished two more blocks, so that's ten blocks done and six more to go! Wendy xx
