a brighter outlook...

Today is brighter, I found this lovely fabric and thought that I would share it with you, currently a pair of curtains wouldn't it make smashing cushions? 
 Florence has been supervising the ironing, I think that it was a bit too much for her, you can't quite see but rather than her usual cotton bandana she is modelling a black/floral silk chiffon square scarf, far more feminine.
Oh yes did you read the story of Josephine, on Jayne's blog (http://www.countrycottagechic2.blogspot.com/), well I have to admit Josephine used to belong to me, the reason that Jayne had to make her a beautiful new dress is because the dress that she used to wear was this lovely black/floral pinafore dress which I found in my fabric cupboard this afternoon. The reason that I haven't parted with it ?

It was mine when I was a toddler!

  3. Love the cowboys (particularly the bow legged one!)
    I agree with Florence - ironing is boring & tiring.....
    Cute little dress - you'll need another doll to wear it now....or a teddy?
