Hello! I'm starting to emerge from the fog, the fog of being unwell resulting from going on a detox programme. I've been taking stuff (it's not worthy of a better name) for a couple of weeks now to help with various ailments. I was told to expect some side effects such as headaches and a few aches and pains, but certainly did not expect a weeks worth of aches, woozy heads, lethargy and generally feeling ghastly. Today I was feeling a little more myself, not wanting to collapse back into bed and sleep quite so much.
Anyway today got off to a glorious start because the postman delivered this to my door this morning.
I decided this book was something I wanted to savour the first time I opened it so got my chores done first. The grocery shopping in the rain, last night's dishes, oops I forgot it was my turn, and other bits and pieces that needed doing. I sat down with my lunch and a cuppa and devoured the pages. This book has simply surpassed all my expectations as to what it would be like. Each page I turned made me squeal a little more with delight and joy. The colours, the patterns, the fabrics, the styling! Selina is truly gifted.
This gorgeous photo from the book reminds me of some of the fabrics I've seen on the blog Bobo Bun.
I'd be very happy if I could grow roses like this. The next best thing is looking at them in Selina's book.
I don't buy many books but this is one I am so happy to have purchased and won't need to return to the library.
I've been playing around with these fabrics wondering if I can be brave enough to make a plain quilt made from 8 inch squares. All I have to do is work out how to cut out all those squares. HELP!?
They're rather an odd mix of fabrics, but that's where the fun begins for me. The fun of moving away from something that is perfectly matched and ordered.
Well it's bed time for me as the head is starting to spin, a sure sign I need to rest.
Thanks for stopping by and catching up with my ramblings, it's been lovely having your company.
