Good morning everyone!
South Devon has snow...not a lot but half an inch is better than nothing, eh ?

So there's only one thing for it...
Hit the craft room!
Which is...

...in a terrible mess!

But I found a small space at which to work and I made a start on these, earlier.
Needle and thread cases...more later as they are still in production.

And at the same time I was eyeing up this Liberty fabric and wondering how to use it wisely!

Meanwhile, I have loads of fabric (as I used to have a fabric shop on ebay) and yesterday I made some colourful fabric patchwork packs which are half price and for sale here:
And.... I always put in a 'freebie' with purchases!! ;-) ;-)
And that's not all...
I have made up one pack, as above, for a 'giveaway'...all you have to do is comment on this post!
Have fun but take care!
;-)
Hi Sal,
ReplyDeleteSorry I am a little late in wishing you a Merrry Xmas and happy new year. Love all the goodies in your craft room, it looks so bright and colourful!!
Would love to win a patchwork pack so please count me in!! :) xx
Lovely photos Sal ... we had around six inches of the white stuff come down last night. Off to look at your shop now and would love to be entered in your giveaway x
ReplyDeleteOne can never have too much fabric! I'd love to enter your giveaway.
ReplyDeleteWe have had a couple of inches of snow overnight & The Boy's school is closed - much to his delight!

Hi Sal,
ReplyDeleteLove your snow pictures. Here in Winchester we did have quite a bit of snow and it is still dusting a little out there.
What a sweet give away. Count me in! ;)

So glad you are getting some snow, wouldnt want you to feel left out!

How lovely to have a your kitchen look out on the garden! Something on my 'must have' in our next house should we ever move ;-)
ReplyDeleteWe are thick with snow here this morning and the schools are closed.
I would love to enter your giveaway please.
Have a fabulous day in your craft room!
Hi, Sal,
ReplyDeleteWe even have snow in mild Torbay. The 'palm' trees look a little wilted! Cars unable to get up our Close ... makes for wonderful spectator viewing from our sitting room window as they try and then give up ... the best place is indoors unless you have to go out. Have put food and water out for the birds, though ... we should all do this and help the little blighters through this cold spell, but taking care not to fall over and hurt ourselves in the process.
Please include me in the patchwork draw! I love fabrics and they might inspire this non-needlewoman to 'have a go'!

Who knew the grey skies could provide such nice pictures of snow?
ReplyDeleteI cannot resist this tempting offer. Hopefully this first giveaway in 2010 is going to be a good one for me, ha!

The gardens look so pretty with a dusting of snow, don't they? Unfortunately, we've had a load more this morning, so I didn't risk taking the car out - so kids at home today. I've become so nervous about driving in snow since my bump!
ReplyDeleteI would love to enter your giveaway ... and I'm off to have a browse in your shop!

I love that photo of your garden table with the latticework of snow! Would love to be entered into the giveaway please. :O)
ReplyDeleteEven a little sprinkle of snow looks magical. We've got about 8 inches so we've plenty to spare if you need a bit more!
ReplyDeleteA giveaway is a lovely start to the New Year!
How lovely to see some bright colourful pictures when everything around is white! I'd love to enter your giveaway. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful garden you have. We had four inches of snow, I live quite high up so it hasn't melted yet,but town it has all gone! My boys are snowed-in in Bristol!
ReplyDeleteHello,thanks for dropping by!
ReplyDeleteThe layout of your kitchen is EXACTLY the same as mine...except I don't have a butler sink or lovely creamy cupboards.Mine are pine,but you have inspired me to paint them this year.
Enjoy the snowy days and all your crafting.

The trees look soo beautiful dusted with snow, gorgeous photos. We've just had a couple of inches drop here in cambridgeshire but now it has stopped. I want more! :o)
ReplyDeleteLove fabric and would love to be entered into your giveaway.
Happy new year to you and am now off to look at your listings. xx
You never know.. we might make it to the Exeter Flea on Saturday.. it would be such a shame to miss it. Your garden looks fab, wish I could take better pics of mine. Have been using time wisely this morning, made a new pair of kitchen curtains & some lampshades! Hoorah.. pix to follow all being well.... Lizzie x
ReplyDeleteOoooh I have just found your blog - gosh its fantastic, I love everything on it - its has taken me about 2hrs to read it as I got soooo enthralled with it all :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to be entered into your prize giveaway please :)
Lovely photos, I like snow (but I hate driving with snowed roads ...) The countryside is so beautiful with white colour.
ReplyDeleteIt is snowing in Britanny too, not a lot but enough to be pleased !
The flowered fabrics are beautiful.

Glad to see your "pinkness" coming to the fore again, Sal. We can do with all the pinkness we can get up here with a foot of snow in a very white world. Happy sewing - am just off up to my sewing too.
ReplyDeleteHappy new year. Your snow looks lovely. We have about a foot and a half and apparently more this evening. I don't remember having such a lot of snow in a really, really long time.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving your hard work, such lovely pretties. I'd love to be entered.

Hi Sal, we are covered in snow (once again). It has been snowing on and off all day and we are due some more tonight.
ReplyDeleteLovely fabric: I would love to be entered into your giveaway! ... :0)

I'd love to enter your giveaway pleaseIsn't the snow lovely? It's so silly that all the schools have closed, it didn't stop the kids hanging around my house all day! We now have staff calling work to say the schools won't open til monday so they can't come back.....the also mentioned they've been playing in the snow all day :( Hope I don't have to work my day off to cover x
ReplyDeleteLovely pics :0) i would love to be entered into your giveaway, thanks.x
ReplyDeleteWe have had only a little snow here in South East Kent but the temperature is very cold. As always Sal your blog with it's blast of colour is there to brighten the coldest day. x
ReplyDeleteHello Sal
ReplyDeleteWow your garden looks amazing even if that is only and inch of snow - so beautiful!
Sounds like you have been busy in the craft room - unfortunately I cannot claim the same, having had a very lazy snow-day.
Take care you too!

I love the picture of your kitchen, it is just how I imagine my dream kitchen will look one day. Snow is looking gorgeous isn't it? The Boys school was about the only one that didn't close, but once we'd trudged down there this morning they said he didn't have to stay, if we didn't want, so of course, we were out of there and off to play in the snow. Loving the snow days, and would love to be entered into your giveaway too, such lovely lovlies, am sure it would really inspire my crafting x
ReplyDeleteLovely snow pictures, Sal - isn't it lovely to have snow at last down here? We've really enjoyed it today, but worrying a little about it all freezing tonight, and hoping the roads will be OK tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteooo i'd love to have a good old nosy in your colourful craft room. xx
ReplyDeleteLovely snow! I love snow days!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit, I'm more than a little jealous of your lovely lovely craft room with all of your fabric!
I need to stock up so please count me in!

what a lovely givaway - the roses would look lovely in a hex quilt i am sewing at the moment;-)
ReplyDeletewe had 18 inches of snow last night and lost electic for 24 hours - sewing buy candlelight is no fun!!
I have been admiring your lovely crafty items for some time now, I'd love to get my hands on that beautiful fabric and surprise myself with what I do with it.
ReplyDeleteThank you
We've got lots of snow on the Wirral too. My school is closed so I've got a few bonus days to forget about the day job. Bliss!
ReplyDeleteI've just got a new sewing machine for Christmas (and haven't used one since I was at school myself) I plan to learn how to make beautiful things as soon as possible. I'd love to be included in your giveaway.

ReplyDeletehi, i just had to tell sal, and everyone else, how stunning the gardens look covered in snow! i have never seen snow. i live in australia, we are having heat waves and floods at the moment.maybe we could throw some bushfires into the mix as well:0)

Hello Sally, we are having a wonderfully warm, sunny, relaxing, funfilled time in New Zealand!!! The snow does look pretty though...but I must say we are enjoying the lovely sunshine and BBQs...Love Janexx
ReplyDeleteA lovely splash of colour on such a snowy day! We have quite a bit of snow in Portsmouth - very unusual for us this far south. Have fun and take care. From another Sal - Sally in Portsmouth x x.

ReplyDeletePlease enter me for the giveaway

Ah, but such a carnival-coloured mess!
ReplyDeleteSo you didn't get much snow in S.Devon? So why is my friend telling me she's snowed in? She has a 4x4 as well. I think she just doesn't want to come home yet!
Nice to know the crafting has begun. When I can find my sewing machine under all the junk, I might start too! xx
Hi Sue, wow what a lot of lovely comments. I loved the pictures of your garden. w
ReplyDeleteWe too have plenty of snow, which is unusual as we don't normally get much living so close to London. I hate it (don't do anything cold!)but the kids love it. Take care. Sue x
Lovely, snowy pictures. My son has only spent 3 hours at school this week and there's no school again tomorrow. He and his friends are in total bliss, sledging in the park, totally oblivious to the cold. Love to be entered in the giveaway please.
ReplyDeleteTracey
