Prints Charming


Prints charming the book, this book dropped onto my mat this morning. Hurray. I have been waiting for weeks or so it seems for this to come and boy is it worth the wait. What an amazing book for anyone who ever thought of or would like to screen print and put things together this book it is. 


a few pictures to drool over...literally.




So basically printing and then adding hand embroidery and other bits to embellish. Really really loving it right now. Off to come up with a design for printing. Ooh how happy this makes me...

The science museum

It was almost the end of the holiday and I had wanted to take the little ones to the science museum. I do enjoy a good walkabout and the weather seemed perfect for it. There is a reason I write about this, I promise...




I did not know they had a display of sewing machines and their history. Included was the lovely old american ads for the first machines.
