colours
If someone had said to me when I was 13, that a variety of pink and darker tones would be favourite colours for me to wear and use in later life I would have shouted at them!
But it’s true, only today was a wearing a top with a base colour of dusky pink, and I have been working of a selection of items made from pink to plum coloured linen, including this,
These are all now ready to photograph and list, they are lavender bag/pincushions if that makes sense! They are little cushions/pillows full of lavender, made from linen with some of my handmade felt and a vintage mother of pearl button for the detailing. They are about 3.5″ square, so what do you think they should be, pincushion or something to have your drawers smell good : ) !!
Let me know what you think : )
Don’t forget about my Facebook fan page! I will be running special offers on ther in the lead up to Christmas : )

I love that linen, it looks as if it has been dyed with berry juice. Delicious!

ooh lovely things. Yeah I am a recent convert to purple and pink, everything I seem to make seems to include pink or purple. I never used to be very girly, but I think something happened when I hit 30.
yes it does look like berry juice. I keep meaning to try dying things with beetroot. …

Lovely! I especially like the colour (of course!) and the dual purpose. I think mine would be for my drawer, although that means it wouldn’t be seen…

Very pretty. I wouldn’t use a lavender bag for a pin cushion – it would rust the pins and rot. But they’d be lovely in a drawer to make your clothes smell pretty, or hung on a loop of ribbon to scare the moths out of the wardrobe!
