Lovely things

Hello lovely bloggy friends,hope to find you all well The children are all back at school now after half term ,cant say we did a lot really ,just pottered about around the house really ,the snow has all disapeared and its been quite warm ive even ventured out into the garden which has been lovely to be out in the fresh air ,all the bulbs are coming up and little buds are showing on the trees,im so looking forward to spring and the warmer weather

As always ive been busy making more cushions ,amongst other things to sell on my website www.patchworkandlace.co.uk,im really keen to make a real go of it this year ,its really been a bit of a hobby up till now but i feel i want to make something of myself and be succesful so thats my plan,my facebook page is also doing well ,i get so excited when people either buy something or like my page ,it really boosts my confidence,anyway these are a few things ive been making recently

Cushions or pillows made with vintage fabrics
