BOWL OF LAVENDER

I made this bowl from papier mache last Halloween,somehow it escaped being stored in the loft along with the cauldron ,cobwebs and creepy-crawlies.It spent the last few months gathering dust behind a pile of fabric in my work room, but now it has a new use,its a wonderful container for my lavender. The room smells lovely,and I can easily scoop out a handful to fill a lavender bag.

I have been watching my lavender plants as the new shoots have been appearing and hope they produce as much lavender as they have the past few years. There is something comforting about making lavender bags, its so traditional and homely.

KNITTING......SHABBYANGEL...HEADSCARF

I was given the fluffy wool by my friend Carole I love the colour and bobbly bits. I did not want a scarf, so decided to make it go further by using ordinary black wool as a textural contrast. I used reverse garter stitch for the black, and knit for the fluffy stuff. The other side is interesting, more of the red shows. I am just knitting a wrap to wear with a red strappy, floaty dress, I think it will look quite stunning...at least I hope.
I transferred this onto a t-shirt and forgot to reverse it!!!!!!! Its all back to front, oh bum!
I thought I might use this design for my labels.

I gave one of these to Sky for her birthday along with the Couture monster. She loved them both. Sky is a little devil, of whom I am very fond. She looks like an angel when she is asleep, I shall take some photos of her,she has the makings of a model .
