If you've read my profile you'll see that one of my favourite flowers is an orchid. They may be expensive to buy but the flowers last for months, really, and if you're lucky like me they flower again and again. This is my latest triumph! I have to admit they don't look too pretty once the flowers have dropped off and the stem is cut back, but have faith, keep them draught free, water now and again, and they seem to thrive. I have found that they take about six months to re flower but worth the wait don't you think?
The postie has just been and it's arrived..... my Simple Sewing book. It is beautiful if you can call a book that. I could sit for hours pouring over the designs, fabric, patterns etc. It really is wondeful, and has the perfect pattern for my apron. However it is given a difficulty rating of four so i may have to work up to it! In the mean-time I'll be searching out fabrics to use and trying some of the simpler projects to start with.
I have just come across this lovely apron on Etsy. It's made using Amy Butler fabric and is gorgeous. A little matching pot holder can be bought to go with it too!
