Looking Down

 This week the theme is Looking Down. 

 We live a short drive away from Exbury Gardens and this is the perfect time of year to catch their Wisteria in all it's glory.  The last picture is taken from the steps looking down at some of the glorious racemes as they reach the ground.

May

 For this week the theme is May.

The garden is full of these invasive Spanish Bluebells - they are nearly all blue but amongst them are one or two beautiful white ones.

Text

 This week the theme is Text.

This vintage box of talcum powder was a flea market find and I just love the beautifully decorated lid and decorative text!

I just love any excuse to photograph my Victorian collection of dead butterflies!

April

 April always sees me moving away from the earthy autumn colours that I naturally gravitate towards and love working with, and moving towards bright greens, yellows and pinks.

These piles of felt, velvet and pleated silk are all ready for me to start some Spring inspired embroidery, collages and textile jewellery.

Signs of Spring

 This week the theme is Signs of Spring, and Pussy Willow is always a wonderful signal that Spring is here!

March

 This week the theme is March.

 I had these photos ready for last week's theme which was Round.  However I spent last Tuesday thinking it was Monday so missed the challenge!

These pretty microgreens are peas and are still growing on my windowsill - they will be ready to eat very soon.
