caravan of love.....................

as a child we had a caravan, a little egg shaped one, just big enough for myself and my mum and dad and my little dog.................such happy memories..............when we weren't away in the caravan, it stood at the side of our house, and it doubled up as my playden......... i was the envy of the kids in my neighbourhood............so you see the humble 70's egg shaped caravan holds a special place in my heart !....................................which is what inspired my new crafty project........
and bunting................who doesn't love bunting ???

not sure whether to put these on folksy or etsy ??!!??

w.i.p. and sunny days..........................

the weather this week has been so lovely that i couldn't resist taking my work outside, miss matilda has loved it, although the only down side to this, is that i have been disturbed quite often with the little minx up to no good.........trespassing over the vegetable plots ( i will share some pics on these soon.......they are really coming on) or pulling up newly planted raspberry canes, or terrorising the cat..............yes very naughty.........but it is quite impossible to get angry at her, it is those eyes !!!

new textile art i have been working on.......................

i find embroidery work so relaxing ........................seriously i could do it all day but there is children and pets to care for, a house to clean etc.......................you get the picture..............

and the finished products which will be going on etsy this week, i have been working on more than these two, but haven't got around to photographing them yet......................

in the words of marie antionette.........................................................................................

Brooches............................

and lots of them.............. you can find these in my etsy shop...........................

www.blossomdesign.etsy.com

also i have been working on some new ideas which i will share with you later this week...............

yellow

i love the colour yellow, every shade of it from mustard to lemon..........i find that in the spring and summer my love of yellow really comes out, at the end of last summer i was inspired to make some yellow bags, but did not get around to putting them on my website (which will soon be going) or etsy straight away, and then i decided to save them for spring which is now........

so yesterday i got around to putting them in my etsy shop..........

yes my love of camping shows in this one.........i love it pictured hanging of the bush, it looks right at home................

i will be back tomorrow with lots of cute brooches to share with you ..............................

mothers day..........

i'm a little late in posting this..............i hope all you mums out there were looked after and treated well this mothers day, i had a really lovely day, with some lovely gifts....................

.....................................................THANKYOU GIRLS...............................................

you made my day wonderful, my youngest said " when is it kids day" i said to the cheeky one....... "everyday is kids day"..............

i love the gilmore girls, and marie antoinette.......................

and me wearing this so so cute hairslide from plumo............

spring is here................at last.......

spring is here at last ........and it feels so great to get out and about in the garden, we have been busy planting fruit bushes and getting the vegetable plots ready, we're not sure what we are doing, i think it will be a matter of trial and error....................but eh, we feel very much like 'the good life'

and on a crafty note, here is a few of the brooches i have been working on, there are many.................i have gone a little brooch mad !! i am also changing my little business around a little, i'm doing away with my website and will be just selling my wares on my etsy and probably ebay........... i have also changed the name to kitty blossom( kitty being my middle name and blossom a family name) , instead of blossom design and there will many more changes to come....................little ................but big for me !!

p.s. i also have new labels..................and lots of new vintage fabric..................there will be lots of vintage crafting going on around here !

January Blues and suffering !!

Well a long blog break was had and not intended as i was just getting into the blogging.......................i had so much christmassy stuff i wanted to share(which apart from my suffering a very lovely quite christmas and new year was had), but unfortunately things did not go to plan, no dear readers they didn't, you see i got that awful flu bug and it really knocked me off my feet for weeks actually getting on for a month, all my energy was used up doing the very basic of things, and i consider myself quite an healthy person, and just has i was showing that flu the door i took matilda out for a walk in the snow.........yes you know what is coming next..................i very pathetically fell over on the very slippy snow, and hurt my knee , i limped for a few days and felt very sore and very sorry for myself, well very down i was feeling you know those january blues one can get well they were just heightened by my feeling sorry for myself and all i wanted to do was stay inside were it was warm and cosy and safe (no germs and no slippy snow) and just as i was starting to venture out........wait for it my misery continues.....................we were involved in a car accident.................yes we were on our way out for a lovely walk around foxton locks, and a car just pulled out of a side road in front of us.........eek it was the first car accident i have been in, very scary, we are all okay, well i say okay, me and my husband have what is called whiplash, neck ache and shoulder ache and it very pathetically hurts me to lift a kettle etc.........(so not alot of crafting) and matilda is absolutely terrified of getting in a car, the poor thing just shakes, the car has faired alot worse it was deemed a write off and has got crushed.........the poor thing !!

So there you have it my suffering, very pathetic i know, i am starting to feel alot better and i will be sharing some new work i have been working on with you soon.....................

I will leave you with a pic of my daughter taken in january, i love the light of the room with no flash, just so cosy, my little cocoon............................................................................................
