calm every day

Thank you for your great suggestions and comments yesterday, on the knitwear. I think I know what I'm going to do simplify them, thanks to your help.

This is some wonderful new fabric I received last week from the lovely Amisha (origin: superbuzzy, i think) I love the tiny line drawings and helpful phrases- 'time of healing', 'calm every day'- hmmm, that's something i need to work on...

She also sent these seasonal cottons: blossoms... (perhaps for cushion covers?)

and some more of this great autumnal fabric (i have in mind some northern-hemisphere gifts to make already:)

Also in the mail (I've been lucky) this week was this printed linen. Berries...

and green trees:

I found these, and other seriously nice linen fabrics, in Namolio's etsy shop. She has some great stuff, and I notice she now has a special shipping listing for New Zealand. Excellent.

My Mum has joined the world of blogging- you can find her here at her aptly-named site. Ever since i can remember, she's had a work-in-progress in every room of the house, and in every bag hanging on every door, so of course i have her to blame for my own tendencies to do the same. She'd be thrilled if you went and said hello.

Beautiful fabrics! I found the autumn one with the birds on it myself but it was a small piece. I am excited to do something with it but as with all fabrics, I have to wait for that just-right-inspiration.

Lovely fabrics. 'Calm every day' - definitely true for me too at the moment. Just off to meet your mum... :)

Love all your pretty new fabrics.

Are you going to make something for sale out of the tree fabric? Let me know once you have anything up from it! :)

love that tree fabric!

Thanks for the link to Namolio's. I must get some fabric, and I can afford some of the fabric too. Can't often treat myself to pretty things so I am hoping my new business will give me a bit of pocket money (eventually!) You have been such an inspiration to me this past cold winter in Vermont I have been lurking on your site. It inspired me immensely to start my own blog, which I have thoroughly enjoyed this past month. I can't tell you what a fan I have been of your blog. Am so happy that Sally has begun blogging, finally someone who must be somewhat my uh-humm age with grannies. Best Regards, Meg Jewell
