Shed Head

Mmmmmm...excuse me chewing while we chat but I've just found a fruit pastilles in the bottom of my bag while searching for my camera. Scrummy!
Now you know you've left it too long between blog post when you have to go back and read your last post to find out what you chatted about. Honestly my head at the moment is all over the place! I've got folders and folders with photos to show you, all crafty stuff I've made recently but not had time to blog about.
Right lets get down to today's business... . . . sheds!
No not man sheds, pretty girl sheds of course.


I rediscovered a little sketch I had made over a year ago in my sketch book.
(How could it possible be a whoooooole year ago!)

A little sketch of a shed.
A pretty shed.

quite quirky.


Well you should have seen the fun I had and the mess I made.

"Don't just make one picture Fi" I told myself.

"If you're going to make one, then it's just as easy to make three!" I said very sternly.

"Yes, you are right Fi " I answered.

So I did.

Each one a little different from the first, and oh... what a lovely mess I made, piles of fabrics everywhere! Bliss!

That's all for today friends. These are some of the Christmas decs I've been making. I think we'll be having another catch up on Fi's crafting very soon if I'm ever to get through all those folders of photos! lol!

love fi x

Those are movely. You are so clever. Iam sat here with a knitting book by Debbie Bliss and a French patchwork book in front of me and I am so daunted and scared I can't start. I want to start knitting but everything looks so complicated.

The Weaver of Grass said...

You are one very clever lady Fiona and you jolly well deserve to do well with all the creative things you do. Hope they all sell so well that you have another pile to make!

potterjotter said...

I must have a look in those shops when I am next up your way. I also panic all the time about orders and commissions, but it always gets done somehow! Am TRYING to be more relaxed about things in the run up to Christmas... lol.

The sheds are beautiful - I've got a thing about sheds myself. You have been busy, no wonder you haven't had much time for blogging. The rainbow is the finishing touch, isn't it? Perfect.

Twiglet said...

As you probably guessed - I love rainbows - your pics are perfect. I think your sheds are brilliant and hope they fly off the shelves for you. Do keep showing us what you are up to -it really does inspire me to get down to crafty things (as opposed to putting zips in trousers and making curtains!!)

Bluebell said...

I Love your shed pictures they are so quirky and each one different Lovely! I also love old Linens and I find so may in charity shops for just pennies, I buy them and wash them and then stroke them for a while and just wonder who did the work on them, I could'nt bear to give them away.

Have I told you how much I love your blog? I always go away feeling very full in a glad sort of way, like Ive discovered something tremendously exciting and inspiring - and of course I have, on both counts! Your embroidered pictures are amazing, I love all three of them, and I am so pleased that gorgeous little shop has been in touch with you to sell your work - thats so very exciting and so very well deserved!

Sending love - ooh, adore your Christmas Decs too!!

Tracey said...

Because of a lady I have met and you, I have been convinced to give patchwork quilting and sewing a go. I am really excited. Your projects are so inspiring. Thankyou for sharing.

Sandi said...

Fi, you have such a talent and a great imagination. I love all your beautiful, beautiful handmade goodies.
I have finally been able to make sense of crochet patterns and have hooked up 4 different squares. I now understand when people say they love it. I do too.
Always look forward to your posts, do understand time is an issue. Rainbow is beautiful.
Hugs Sandi
