Snowdrops are filling up the front garden this week- little shocks of white in a jungle of green leaves. It feels as though warmer weather is on its way.
A very cheering package arrived in our letterbox on Monday, from Kelly. We first met in Wellington at Craft 2.0 and agreed to do a little swap sometime in the future. And Kelly recently opened an etsy shop- cloud of birds- that I've fallen in love with- it's something about that mixture of vintage fabric, fanciful imaginings and old photographs - each toy is so unique. Thank you, Kelly. She sent the beautiful badges above (old drawings printed onto linen), a bird (now adopted by K):
a little tooth fairy doll complete with tooth/coin pocket:
And this bunny fellow...
who is now residing on the shelf above my sewing machine, and keeping his one eye on me and checking I'm doing my work. Can't get up to any trouble now.
