The last 2 weeks have been spent home sitting for these two lovely pets....
....unfortunately the first week was 'back to winter' weather wise and I didn't have my boots and thick waterproof coat with me!!!
The last week was much better and I enjoyed many walks along the Thames river bank.....
....some amazing house boats....
.....Hampton Court....
....rowers being trained....
....a lot of activity on Sunday morning....
....even 2 people swimming!

The blossom has been been really beautiful....
.....this lilac had the most wonderful scent...
.....and shades....
....these fabulous tulips were in a pot in the garden of the house where I was staying, so very pretty!

I started this piece in Cornwall, layered silk and organza on a calico backing....
....I didn't have anything in mind, just played and machine stitched...
...the finished piece, free machining on top based on the printing blocks I designed in Cornwall. I will certainly use this abstract fabric background again also a great way of using fabric off cuts!
I started this for a very special little girl who will be 2 in June!
Still a lot of stitching to do!
