Some colour's needed!

I'm still wading through paperwork here, and will be so relieved to get right up to date. Nearly there. Sort of! So nothing much else is going on, same old stuff, and same old grey dreary damp weather outside. Time I think for some diversionary tactics to brighten these days.

Here's some more of my fabric goodies from my sister - the red/magenta palette. And there's still more, too!


These hotter colours tie in with these anemones I bought yesterday. Even better, they're locally grown and are abundant down here in the damp cornish climate.



Their gorgeous bright colours are echoed in this 'Parrot Tulip' fabric (by Sanderson), part of the gift from G. Can't wait to use it - I'll definitely make some sort of bag. Not long now til tulips will be nudging through outside, too.


It has been said that here in Cornwall winter only lasts for six weeks, usually January into February, as that is the only time temperatures are considered to be cold enough that we can actually call it winter! So spring beckons...just around the corner.
