The Purity of White...

I have been looking around the blogosphere for sometime now for inspiration on interiors and design, particularly for my bedroom. If you remember I was keen on some Amy Butler fabric on my Easy like Sunday morning post and had decided to make a patchwork quilt.

Well since then I have got completely hooked on white....yes white!  I have a board devoted to white on Pinterest, called The purity of white, check it out because the pins are beautiful.  Anyhow, this board along with some of the following inspiration from blogs I follow, have inspired me to have a white bedroom!

This beautiful bedroom can be seen on Marley and Lockyer, along with some more stunning white inspiration, I was thinking I could substitute the pink with duck egg blue, what do you think?

And the bedlinen that Patina White features is beautiful too, I have since bought a matelasse throw and shams for my bed, but I am, keen to buy this Ofelia throw which can be found at IKEA for £20.42.

I wanted a little colour though, so have decided on duck egg blue. Laura Ashley have beautiful duck egg blue fabrics which I am coveting at present.

Nothing is finished as yet (the window in my bedroom needs installing first!) but it will definitely be these colours. So now all I have to do is find accessories to go with the colour scheme and paint some furniture, get a new window and.....wow lots to do, until then....TTFN ~x~

My box full of magic...

Wow....Its been a while hasn't it? Well I guess a few days anyway... I've been pretty busy with work and the children so haven't had a chance to post anything.

I was sorting through some fabrics and all my stash and thought I'd show you my beloved craft box, its full of paints, ribbons, paper stock, ooh so much I just love it! My pal Sally over at Knit Sally Knit bought a king size duvet set at a charity shop last week, so I was busy cutting that up yesterday, its has a patchwork effect so I cut up all the different squares so I can actually make them into a patchwork item, you can see them in my craft box below, they are floral with a green and white spot background and stripes;

On Monday, I took delivery of the woven ribbons I ordered.  I found them slightly cheaper on Holland Fabric House, they have allsorts of haberdashery and fabrics, check it out!

I could probably do with sorting out my craft box, putting things into storage boxes etc.....watch this space the next time you see my box of magic, it WILL be tidy!!! TTFN ~x~

Blogs are what we make them ....

So I've been checking out various blogs, some of my favourites too and decided that I wasn't completely happy with mine....I know, I know I've only been doing this for a few days, but I wasn't too sure on the layout.....I love my header (thanks Sarah ~x~).

Anyway, I've made a few changes and so far so good, let me know what you think.....

I have yet another bag of unwanted clothes to take to the charity shop but something made me look through the bag again and I was slapped with so many ideas for the fabrics from the clothes and even some old jumpers, so I have begun the task of cutting the pieces into more manageable sizes, chopped off the buttons and they have been stowed away for other projects.

I hope to have some photos up at the weekend of what I've been working on, so check back soon!  TTFN ~x~

Easy like Sunday morning...

Just sat here browsing the net, found some fabulous fabric by Amy Butler, and have decided I'm going to make some patchwork cushions and a topper for my bed, when I say topper I kind of mean a quilt, but not as big as one but larger than a runner!.....if that makes sense?

I have decided I'll start by making some blocks, then sew them all together, I'll do something quite simple that will incorporate all five of these designs!

Yesterday, was so hectic, my husband took my eldest boy to football training and came home with two more boys!!! I would'nt have minded had I not been having a good clearout and doing a charity shop run.  I did my bit for charity and took four huge sacks of clothes and four carrier bags of books!  Wow, it felt great to get rid of all those bits I'd been saving to put on Ebay, I kept some of the better stuff to put on which is still in a large box in the corner of my bedroom (much to the disgust of my husband - bothered!).

Hey ho, back to browsing......TTFN ~x~
