Yesturday I received a short stemmed tulip from my little one also. You don't know if you should kiss them for bringing you a flower or scold them for picking it :)

For at least a year I've had your bag tutorial floating in my head, finally I made one in great summer fabrics. Check it out-

Those strawberries look delicious!!!

I discovered your blog a couple of days ago (by watching an old Thread Bangers episode when they use your simple bag pattern...) and I devoured it in no time! (needless to say I have not being very productive at work these last 2 days :P)

I followed every link to articles and posts featured in your entries so at moments I was reading 6 different wonderful blogs at the same time...

I'm from Costa Rica, I'm a new mom (my only baby is 20 months now) who works in a IT company and I've being trying to hook a little bit more into crafting (I have little experience and no skills though :P) and your blog is an amazing source of inspiration

thanks for sharing that

I will be peeking here often, have a nice week

great reds too!

[Trisha]

I remember the shoes, so spring. I haven't caught up with you for so long.....just lovely to look. I love to see your childrens drawings and I think the illustrations are a little like your own embroidery.......so lovely to see.

Oh, I just love love those red shoes!! I've been eating lots of strawberries lately and I'm ready to see the red poppies :) The photos are great :)

I adore colour themed posts having just completed a week with Curious Bird where we photographed a colour a day.
Fabulous shoes by the way.
Plan to email you next week and bring you up to date with all thats happening in the southern hemisphere.

Those shoes are heartstoppingly wonderful - how could you NOT have a great day when wearing shoes like those?! Thanks for the treat!

[Alison]

Love your red theme. And thanks for putting me onto the gocco print machine. Very hard to find indeed! But I really want one!!!!!

[Helen]

Hey girl! Gorgeous photos - it's so nice to see spring fever hitting you.

Sorry I haven't commented for a while - the old marking avalanche again - but through the worst of it now.

All the red is so lovely, but where oh where can I get one of those bags? I really need one of those :)

[Oshun]

I ma so very jealous: rubis red shoes !!!!
Now really my attraction to your tiny shoes is getting stronger every day. I could justify them as heirloom gift, right ?

[Jo]

Red is my fave. Gorgeous tulips. And the poppy shoes are always gorgeous.

[Mirre]

I love both pairs of shoes!

And yum strawberries... they're too expensive here still. I'm going to have to wait until the ones in my garden are ripe.

[kimberley]

I love the look in arlo's eye. he looks like a real dreamer.

[angelique]

Those lovely red shoes are not branded Django & Juliette are they? When we lived back in Melbourne I sold shoes for a job and we used to sell that style. So very cute. There is another story behind the branding of the shoes but I will tell you that if they are those.

like the red and poppy theme of this post! we have poppies coming up in the garden here - another surprise! - this week they've been yellow, but can see some red ones about to emerge. I love their hanging heads. Have a good weekend x

[artycho]

Lovely pics! I love your red shoes and these tiny shoes too! The poppies are gigantics!

[tamsin]

Beautiful embroidery M! and those shoes are cool! Lovely to see a pic of A and K. Our comp hasnt been downloading pics lately so its nice to see what you have been talking about. Love the apron and the postcards too. Glad to see that you have some things in the garden already - good on you!

Love to you and yours

LOVE both pairs of shoes! My daughter is still wearing her embroidered shoes from you and gets compliments all the time.
