A Piece of Pink

I found a piece of pink cardigan

that I had chopped off

to make a long cardigan short.

I remember thinking at the time I chopped it off

that I should keep the remnant

just in case :)

Well, just as well:)

This is what I decided to do

with the piece of pink.

 

 

Hearts :)

 

 

...with a little bit of linen,

lace

and my favourite buttons

handmade by my

favourite

button maker :)

 

 

When I finish here I'm going to the sewing room.

My hearts need a backing,

a pretty little wire hanger,

a smidgen of stuffing

and lots of lavender.

 

So...

on Saturday I went for a little day trip.

I offered to drive someone to an event,

thinking it would be a nice excuse for a day out,

I didn't know it would mean

a 4.30 a.m. start!!!!

(am pretty sure he forgot to mention that minor detail,

though I can't imagine why!!)

Have to say,

I didn't exactly bounce out of bed

(come on - who bounces at that time of the morning!)

but you know what -

it turned out to be one of those perfect days:)

 

This was the view

from the top of the mountain

when we arrived.

 

 

And about an hour later

it was warming up

and looking so pretty.

 

 

I had a few hours to myself after leaving the mountain.

Was in two minds as which way to turn

when I got to the bottom.

I went left :)

 

Come for a walk ...

around the streets of

Arrowtown.

 

 

... very very pretty cafes ...

 



 

... down a side alley ...

 

 

 

... the lolly shop ...

 



 

... the bread shop ...

 

... really cute cottages ...

 

 

 

...the prettiest gardens..

 

 

 

...shiny red ...

 

 

...cute little churches too ...

 

 

... and close the gate please on your way out ...

 

 

Gorgeous little town:)

 

Now it's coffee time,

freshly baked banana cake,

and stitching hearts :)

See you.

Jenny :)
