Yesterday I finally tackled the workroom, it is no

Yesterday I finally tackled the workroom, it is now tidy, ordered, dusted and hoovered. I can’t remember the last time it looked so pristine!
This image was taken recently, a set of four roman blinds for a shepherd hut using @sarahhardaker Wiveton. Beautiful fabric 💕

I took this photo of the wild flower meadow at @fordeabbey last year and earlier this year, I was so chuffed to hear it had been selected for 1st prize in their annual photography competition.
I remember laying low in the wet grass with my camera while I took this photo and seeing the strange looks from visitors.

With this gorgeous weather at the moment, let’s all get out in the garden and enjoy it while it lasts. With a nip in the air to remind us that it’s still Spring, and with the sun above us, let’s just put another layer on to keep warm and enjoy our gardens. It’s good for the soul and exactly what we need at the moment.

Have a lovely Friday.

The past few days have been the quietness of a new

The past few days have been the quietness of a new way of working. The roads are quiet, shops closed and the usual quiet hum of a small town noticeably absent in the air. Yet there was a different hum in yesterday’s glorious sunny day. The sound of family chatter drifting across the gardens as many enjoyed an unexpected feeling of a summers day. A fresh nip in the air at times to remind us that it is still March but nothing that another layer of clothing would deter.

Others find themselves with the time to sew. The website shop remains open and I am still packing orders for anyone interested. There are lots of haberdashery bits and pieces, pom pom trimmings and fabric bundles for those inspired to pick up their pins, needles and machines in these new days.

Leucoium standing tall and proud, dancing in the breeze yesterday. We planted these a few years ago amongst the snowdrops and every year they make their appearance after the snowdrops have gone. Love them.

The best thing about being self employed and runni

The best thing about being self employed and running a business is the opportunity and ability to adapt to everything thrown at you. And every business has had so much thrown at them in just a few days.
We are both self employed in this household and we have watched as so much of our work has changed and been postponed. We sat down at the weekend and made a list of things we both need to do in any business but haven’t had the time to do. It’s actually quite a long list I discovered! All the essential things plus those plans we simply haven’t had time to plan.

So we are still here and at the end of the phone or email as usual. But with our ever adapting hats on.
And so my plans for today are a Skype call and then to start on item one of my list. I can hear the quiet inward groan before I even say the word ‘Accounts’ to my wonderful husband!
As we awake to a new style of life for whatever time it takes, and navigate through the weeks to come, I have no doubt that, when this is over, many of us will have forever changed the way we run our businesses in the future.

Enjoy today and keep smiling 💕

Monday inspiration, lavender for calming moments.

Monday inspiration, lavender for calming moments. The sky is clear of clouds, the dawn chorus is subsiding and we are at the beginning of another week. Have a good one.
