Thankful {things I love} Thursday ...

I am so Grateful to be in 2 Stampington publications this month.

Somerset Studio Gallery Summer 2015

and

Sew Somerset

Summer 2015 where I have 3 articles / art work.

A Contact Gatherer pouch

 to hold  business cards

created with my Woodland Whispers print on the cover.

Practical Pinafore

my new favourite style of apron

with cross over straps. Super comfy to wear and easy to put on and off.

lots of embellishments including a special little

"love note to the sparrows"

♥

And for the garden,

my Live Life Lantern

create using a few  watercoloured prayer flag panels

and stitched together.

All the directions to create, along with needed Tools & Materials are in Sew Somerset.

I wanted to create it so that it could lay flat after Summer when it's time to pack away the garden items.  The two dowels on top criss cross and you simply just take them out to allow the lantern to fold up.

In our garden, the Lilac have all but finished

making way for the Peony to be the star of the garden for a little while.

I've snipped and gathered up the last little bit of lilac and lily of the valley

to bring indoors ♥

hope you are having a wonderful, Thankful Thursday
