An assortment of goodies for you today. Firstly, this is an image from a Sunday supplement. Take a look at those gorgeous 'pouffes' of red rose petals. How fab are they? Maybe such a large scale project would be too time consuming to replicate but a few roses sewn on to a cushion could look good. Or maybe some blowsy rose tiebacks for curtains?
Next up are some images from a Country Living article ages ago, about Susan Hill's book 'The Magic Apple Tree'. I really loved the illustrations. Very sweet and nostalgic, but not so sweet as to be cloying.
Those soft pinks are so pretty.
Below is the book's illustration of a winter scene.
This is my version. White and blue felt, white thread and embroidery silk. Add some little touches of brown for plants and houses on the hilltop. The embroidery's padded out in places to reflect the gentle slopes of the hills.
