Yesterday was a day of ups and downs.
It started off with excitement. The supplies I ordered for a new idea for my Christmas stalls had arrived and I was itching to get to work with them.
I won’t tell you what I’m making, as I’m still not sure it’s going to work. But suffice to say, my initial experimentation was unsuccessful.
Spectacularly so, in fact.
Things got broken. Things that will have to be reordered.
But after a modicum of swearing, I moved swiftly and positively on and finished getting my moggies stuffed (though not sewn).
And then the postman knocked.
And he brought me the best, most beautiful consolation prize I could have wished for…
FABRIC!!
Oh my!
This beautiful parcel came from Rachel of Rainbow Vintage Home. A swapsie.
And perfectly timed to brighten my day. ♥
Wow! Now that’s what I call a pick me up! We all have days like this and it’s easy to feel it’s been a waste, but as I wrote on my studio wall the other day, “Nothing Creative is a Waste.” – just to remind myself to keep going! Looking forward to seeing your new creations. xx
Thanks Naomi! I actually did a very stupid thing which wasn’t remotely creative – got something stuck inside something else and broke both things trying to get them apart again. But these things happen when you’re working stuff out as you go along. It’s not the end of the world – a new supplies order will be winging its way off very shortly!
Oh wow, that fabric is stunning! Rachel has the best stuff – guaranteed to brighten anyone’s day 🙂
Lovely lovely fabrics. Good post for you this week. x
