A toadstool is growing...


I am up to my favourite part of the English garden sampler - stitching the toadstool.  I love the colours in it and the spots on it's surface. Can't wait to stitch more of it!

 Over the last few weeks I have been thinking about decorating ideas for my sewing room. It's the one room in the house I have a full say on how it is decorated.   My DH likes to gives his input everywhere else.  Here is a little collection I have put up on my sewing room wall.


These old sewing threads which belonged to my DH's grandmother really appeal. I will never use them but enjoy opening their wooden box to admire their beautiful shine, devine colours and vintage labels. Have you got any sewing memorabilia?

By the way if you are a HAED fan please do my survey?  I am going to by my very first HAED but there are so many beautiful patterns and I cannot decide which one to get first.

Thanks for vising my garden,

I can see how the toadstool will be fun. The bench is pretty cool too!
