The season to come....

 After enduring a few rather too cold days this past week today's milder temperature was most welcome and I felt compelled to take a break from my sewing and housework to walk around my winter garden and take a few photos of what is in flower at the moment. Due to a mischievous kitten waking me up early on Sunday morning I had time before church to pick some Daphne, Erlicheer daffodils and Violets to fill our home with their sweet fragrance for the rest of the week.

 These girls are starting to earn their keep this week too... they must have heard me threaten to replace them a few times lately. Store brought eggs are so inferior once you've had your own free-range ones. 

And these two A4 size art supply/journalling folders are what I've produced from my sewing attic this week. I was hoping to list them in my Etsy shop tonight but I'm not happy with how the colours have turned out in the numerous photos I took this afternoon. The colours are really washed out especially with the lighter one on top in the above photo. Will have to try again tomorrow...

 Disappointing photos aside I am happy with how they have turned out. LOVE these vibrant batik fabrics.

There are 3 large A4 sized pockets to hold sketching pads, an ipad or similar sized tablet along with individual pen pockets and a couple of  smaller pockets too. 

Lets hope this milder clear sunny weather lasts throughout the weekend at least. Surely spring must just be around the corner :-)

A4 Art/journalling folders

 Freshly added to my Etsy shop today are these A4 size Art/journalling folders made with my favourite colourful and vibrant batik cottons.

 They have each been embellished with some pretty machine embroidery as well as a handmade button and loop enclosure to keep everything securely together.

 Inside are 3 larger A4 sized pockets, 1 smaller pocket for pens or a small writing pad, 3 individual pen pockets and 2 business card pockets.

 Working with these happy colourful fabrics makes these cold wet wintry days more bearable...
