Hello all, hope to find you all well<br />
Summer is certainly here, the sun is shining and temperatures are soaring which is very welcoming but not so much the humidity which has left us all overly hot.<br />
I have been working on a few new bits and bobs like this new dress pattern, it is the first time I've attempted an adults dress and I have to say it went extremely well , I'm not very good at following dress patterns so I did struggle with parts but overall I'm pretty chuffed with myself<br />

The fabric is just so pretty, the pattern is quite simple with a zip at the back but I am going to have a few more practise attempts because I want to start selling dresses so I want them to be perfect, I have so many ideas of things to make and I spend most of my time making gorgeous buntings so it is nice to try something new along side buntings<br />

I have been purchasing lots of new fabrics lately. I found a wonderful fabric shop in Harrogate, honestly I thought I was walking into heaven when I popped in for the first time, there are literally hundreds of fabrics, I do try to just buy what I need but that is very hard for me unless I only have a tight budget and then I'm reluctantly restricted<br />

Hello lovely bloggy friends, its been such a long time since I popped by here, I hope you are all fine and dandy, life just seems to be flying by and I can't believe were nearly in Autumn<br />
The family are all well, my youngest has started secondary school now and is settling in well and making lots of new friends, my other daughter is just about to start her second year at York university studying crime and criminal justice and social policies and my son is now a fully qualified electrician and is also doing an electrical engineering course at college and is moving on to another job more in this field of work so they are all doing well I am pleased to say<br />

My small business is still ticking along but I had to take on another job to help with the money situation, I've had so many ideas and dreams but like most things they all take cash to carry them through and the children and paying the bills come first, I still do a lot of sewing on my days off and every evening you will find me in the corner of my bedroom sewing away</div>

Well my little bunting business continues to grow i decided to make it a separate business to my Patchwork and lace one to fully concentrate on buntings for all occasions and nothing else , it is hard to compete as so many people are making buntings so i am always trying to think of new ideas to keep up to date if you fancy a look at my shop the link is <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/lovesbunting">www.etsy.com/shop/lovesbunting</a><br />

Hello all and hope your all well, were whizzing through the year again and only a couple of weeks until the summer holidays from school, i promised myself last year that by August i would make a start on my Christmas lines but that idea seems a bit silly now so we shall see<br />
Patchwork and lace is still ticking over nicely and its still only me but i'm happy with that for now<br />
<br />
Just loving these fabrics , always have, they are so pretty and i have never wanted to cut them up but i decide to make a couple of things with them which i'm rather pleased with<br />
<br />

They are so pretty and look so much better in real life ,i find it hard sometimes to take pictures as they don't always show off things at their true best , these garlands are ideal for weddings gently blowing in the breeze<br />
This boho shabby chic banner is so pretty too the colours are so delicate with pretty lace and faded florals<br />

They remind me so much of my childhood and are very easy to make and can fit a range of sizes due to the elasticated top half and tie straps so they are ideal for summer and holidays</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They come in a very pretty selection of cotton fabrics and are available from my Folksy shop <a href="http://www.folksy.com/shops/patchworkandlace">www.folksy.com/shops/patchworkandlace</a></div>

I really enjoy making buntings too i find it very relaxing , i try not to do custom orders nowadays i much prefer making something how i like and then selling it, i am someone who likes to feel free to do what i like and hate being told what to do or feeling restricted to a certain way so working for myself suits me down to the ground, all my buntings are available from my new shop <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/lovesbunting">www.etsy.com/shop/lovesbunting</a></div>

I do so love working for myself , i love the freedom i have to create at my own pace and it fits in with my children working from home and they are growing up now and needing me less , my son is now 21 and in his final stages of his electrician apprenteship, my eldest daughter finishes her 2 year course at college next week and is hoping to go to university in October ,she has just booked her driving test for next month and then it will be the expense of a car but that will free me up from lifts here and there and my youngest daughter has a year left at primary school from september and her secondary school is near us so she will be able to get the bus so in a year or so i will have lots more free time to concentrate on my little businesses and move forward with them</div>

Hello all , hope your all well, life is ticking on ever so fast isn't it, January and February have flown by and the girls have gone back to school and college today after half term so all was quiet at home<br />
I have been busy lately setting up a little business just for bunting, i have always sold a lot so it seemed a good idea and i do enjoy making it ,there isn't an awful lot of thinking when making it so i find it quite therapeutic , i know there are a lot of people making bunting out there so i want to try and come up with new ideas to keep it fresh<br />

These are a lovely idea and very easy to make although very sticky with the glue but worth it and they look very effective<br />
This very pretty bunting has been made with gorgeous vintage lace and decorated with floral bias binding, fabric, ribbons and button trims<br />

Hello my lovely bloggy friends, hope you are all well , time is whizzing past as always and Autumn is certainly in the air ,i do love this time of year , the cosy nights in by the fire , candlelight and lots of warm comfort food like stews, pies and dumplings and lots of snuggly blankets too<br />
Christmas bits and bobs are creeping into the shops already and i am determined to be more organized this year ,with presents and my work as i always feel like i am playing catch up<br />

Quilts are always popular over the colder months and i do love to make them but i just need more space, which i will have soon as i am reorganizing the house so that i can have my very own work room which is all mine, where i can spread my wings and i can make all the things i want to in the bigger space, i have made a start so i will keep you updated over the next week<br />

My youngest daughter has just turned 10 so we celebrated that this week , no big party this year , she had a couple of friends over and i took them trampolining and then for a pizza which was a lot less work then having a party with 30 or so friends to entertain , thank fully we are passed all that<br />
My son is now 20 and is enjoying his Apprentiship as an electrician and will qualify after Christmas and my other daughter is 17 and is in her second year of college , still not sure what she wants to do yet , i am so glad they all still live at home , i will be heartbroken when they all fly the nest<br />

Cath kidston is still my favourite shop by far in fact it's the only shop i ever really go in , i could buy everything , i do miss the old prints and the displays they used to have in the shops which they dont really have now but i still love it , every time i walk into a Cath kidston shop i feel like i'm coming home<br />

I am still busy with my work and have just finished these pink patchwork curtains which are very popular and i have sold a couple already , they are just very time consuming and it is surprising how long they do take to make but i am not going to make them to order , these are a standard size so the thought of any bigger ones is just too much work<br />

I am still considering taking someone on to help me take my business forward , i know it is the next step if i want to grow but we shall see , maybe when i have my own work room it will be easier to bring someone else in<br />
I still long to have my own shop , it has been a dream of mine for so long but the expense and pressure is so off putting, i am however very happy working from home , i do not have any overheads and i don't have the pressure of a shop rent to find every month, i have seen so many shops open and close over the years it is such a shame as all the people started out with dreams like i have so for now i shall stay as i am where i am happy and under no pressure<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My love of vintage things started as a young girl , when as children my brothers and sisters would visit my grandmother in Leeds every Sunday , we would walk around Roundhay park around the lakes and flower gardens and then go back to my grandmothers for afternoon tea .She lived in a big terraced house which had a cellar full of coal and an attic which seemed scary at the time , she had a coal fire in the kitchen which we would huddle round to keep warm and we would eat tea in the " Back room " and she would always make mandarin jelly .Her house had lots of Eiderdowns on the beds and i just loved it there , it is only now later in life that i appreciate how lovely sundays were there with my family .Then of course Cath kidston arrived and i fell in love once again and ive been a fan ever since </div>

I decided not to take anyone else on , i just thought i would carry on myself , i would of course if i ever get a little shop as they could work there with me as i just don't have the space at home for 2 of us to work , i will hopefully one day have my dream of a vintage style tea rooms and shop but until then i will keep on working from my little den </div>

Hello dear bloggy friends , hope you are all well , time is whizzing past as always and life is very busy but i am the happiest i have ever been , i love my life , my home and my children are my world and at nearly 20 , 17 and 9 they are growing up so fast i can hardly believe it and i have been blessed to have them as my own<br />
My business is going so well too and i feel i am at the stage now that i could take someone on to help me as i simply just don't have the time to make all the lines i want to , i forever feel i'm on catch up which is of course fabulous that i am busy but i'm just not sure where to take it now<br />

In a lot of ways i am happy just how it is, plodding on at my own pace but it's that nagging feeling that i could do so much more if i had someone to help me so i am at a cross roads and not sure which road i am going to take<br />

The cushions and buntings i make are always popular in Cath Kidston fabrics .<br />
I am on Instagram a lot these days which i love and of course pinterest and i used to spend a lot of time looking through blogs all these are a big source of inspiration for me but again it is down to time and fitting everything in.<br />
I also love this time of year and all the spring flowers and bulbs that are appearing<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We just have a yard at the back which is a fairly good size and a bit of grass but this is enough for me , i have lots of pots and it's a very low maintenance garden which suits me ,the weather has been sunny and bright the last few days and the days are lengthening which i love so i am itching to get outside and pot up some plants for the warmer weather and the thought of bbqs and warm summer evenings are joyous to me , the winters always seem so long .I however love all the seasons and by the end of summer i am ready for Autumn and the dark nights and snuggly evenings cuddled into soft blankets by the fire<br />

Hello lovely bloggy friends it really has been a while , my little blog has been very neglected of late and so much happens that its hard to remember it all to tell you but i hope to find you all fine and dandy<br />

Our big news at the moment is that we are moving yet again , we have got the keys to our new home which i am very excited about,our home at present is very cosy but small and we have definately all outgrown it so we have gone for a lovely spacious 4 bed terraced just around the corner , my love of terraced houses stems from visiting my gran with my family in leeds every sunday when we were growing up , we would always (whatever the weather ) have a walk around roundhay park then back to my grans for tea ,it was a lovely terraced house with an open fire in the kitchen ,a coal seller and an attic , i did love that house and have very happy memories of it ,so this new house is ideal ,we will all have plenty of space and i will have room to do my work so the next couple of weeks will be spent decorating it all<br />

I t has been such a busy year so far , the children are growing up fast , my 19yr old son is doing well with his apprenticeship and will soon be qualified as an electrician , my eldest daughter is leaving school this year and will either stay on at six form or go to college and my 8 year old is growing up fast , i often wonder how i will feel when they fly the nest, i love them all being around and i know it will be a difficult phase when they do one by one </div>

we have kind of settled in the new house, but we all agree it is too small , but the rent is low and it has done us over the winter where work has been limited for my other half ,and i know in the summer we will miss a garden so i think it is another stepping stone before we move on to a bigger house with a garden and maybe a room where i can make my own to create to my hearts content </div>

Hello lovely bloggy friends , it's been such a while , life just seems to take over somehow , and it's been very busy here in patchworkandlace house<br />
<div>
we are all enjoying the holidays and had a mini break to the stunning yorkshire dales with my little gang but we all came down with a sickness bug so we were glad to come home<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OnWye8wpp3M/U_L7Qc52UlI/AAAAAAAAEP8/wpTj1eWlLGU/s1600/001%2B(5).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OnWye8wpp3M/U_L7Qc52UlI/AAAAAAAAEP8/wpTj1eWlLGU/s1600/001%2B(5).JPG" width="239" /></a></div>
<br />
we will be on the move again soon too , compared to our last house which was lovely but very old and run down ,this house is very modern and new but the rent is killing us financially so we have found a smaller and a lot cheaper house ,i wont have as much space for all my work but at the end of the day all i need is a table and sewing machine and a place for my fabric and it will be great ,so over the next few weeks there will be a lot of sorting and packing<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am very lucky to be able to work from home which i love so much , i have never been career minded so this suits me so well as my favourite place is my cosy home and i am here for the children whenever they need me and it gives me chance to do all my jobs around the house and garden as well as my sewing work , </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I recently decided to close my website and instead open a folksy shop which works a lot better for me ,of course i would one day love to have a real shop / tea rooms / fabric shop but at the moment i am happy working from home until i have saved up and my youngest is older </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have started to sell fabric now which has been a real success , i do patchwork packs</div>

Hello lovely bloggy friends , hope you are all well and enjoying the last half term before Christmas ,I really do love this time of year, the build up to the big day and all the decorations and twinkly lights ,it seems to come round quicker every year <br />
It is also a busy time of year for my little business too with a couple of Christmas fairs planned so been busy making these for my shows <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I do love my work ,especially working from home which fits in with my little brood ,I would of course love to have a shop with a tea rooms but I know it would cost too much and also take up all of my time and be away from home a lot so for now I am very happy with what I do and would consider it more when the children have flown the nest to keep my me busy which is a long way off and by then I will probably be too old , tired and have even less money !! but it is a nice dream <br />

In our previous home I had a separate room for my work but our new home is smaller so I have a corner of the conservatory which is lovely , very hot in summer and chilly in winter but it is my little space and I love it and spend all my free time here making all these <br />

Loving these collages my daughter taught me how to do ,I do have a website through vistaprint but have decided to close that now as it was costing quite a bit and I was not really happy with it through vistaprint so that will be closing in about a week , one day I would like to have a professional website done where I am free to put on what I like , where I like so that is something to do after Christmas </div>
