Humphreycumfycushion: October 2014
http://humphreycumfycushion.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Friday, 31 October 2014. I am an absolute sucker …. 8230; for anything sentimental. An old book dedication …. 8230; a romantic proposal …. 8230; or simply a few words in a song …. 8230; can move me. John Legends ‘All of Me’. 8230; such tender words. The soundtrack to The Descendants …. 8230; with George Clooney. I fell in love. Not with George …. 8230; was already there. It was the soundtrack. Ka Makini Ka'ili Aloha. Https:/ www.youtube.com/watch? This breathtakingly beautiful melody …. 8230; any day.

Humphreycumfycushion: December 2014
http://humphreycumfycushion.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 31 December 2014. A Brief Winter Wonderland. Have woken to a world of white …. 8230; for the past two days. But the next best thing. A brief winter wonderland …. 8230; even if for just half a day. I miss the snow. After a busy few weeks of fairs …. 8230; a brief break from making pretties. The holiday has been filled with coastal walks. A lake side walk at Penrose …. 8230; down to the beach. A wide expanse of sand …. 8230; with dramatic crashing waves. A very tranquil Godrivy . Sprinkle with f...

Humphreycumfycushion: Sparkling Dew
http://humphreycumfycushion.blogspot.com/2015/04/sparkling-dew.html
Wednesday, 22 April 2015. Early mornings here are now filled with bright sunlight …. 8230; filtering through the greenery …. 8230; and throwing thousands of little sparkles …. 8230; on the dew drenched grass. It is so, so pretty. The days are much longer …. 8230; and warmer. The birds are busy nesting. The bees are busy too. I have been working in the garden. 8230; and going on long lazy walks in the countryside …. 8230; where the lane tops are ablaze with yellow gorse …. 8230; smelling of … garlic.

Humphreycumfycushion: August 2014
http://humphreycumfycushion.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, 7 August 2014. An evidently much loved …. 8230; and much hugged bear. In fact, loved completely bare. Only the teeniest, tiniest smidgen of yellow fur remaining …. In the crease of his left ear …. 8230; to show his original colour …. 8230; and fur status. The stories he could tell! I bought him from the Portscatho Fair at the weekend …. 8230; where I had a stall. Stanley was bought from Cowboys and Custard …. 8230; whose stall was opposite mine …. Stanley was sat in a trailer …. Balm for joy, a...

Home Is Where The Heart Is: April 2011
http://homeheartebba.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 26 April 2011. Currently working on a new piece, luckily you can crochet almost anywhere so no need for workshop to be finished at this point. Had a wonderful Easter weekend relaxing in the garden amongst the tulips and indulging on freshly baked hot cross buns! Friday, 22 April 2011. Yet another great scandinavian designer, Lotta Jansdotter. It would be great fun to make your own labels like these, not sure how though? Wednesday, 20 April 2011. Above and below, my jewellery. Not only did I tast...

Textile Treasury: August 2014
http://textiletreasury.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
My life in stitches. Sunday, 31 August 2014. After the Craft Fair. I thought I was a late night trouper, with lots of experience at the Burwell Bash but these last two days of the Letheringsett Craft Fair have left me really, really shattered! Early nights both days and still I have been tired today. It's amazing how standing around for seven hours can tire you out! Thanks Sue for this lovely photo of me - not the most photogenic of people! The small blue, red-bound quilt folded over the towel stand at t...

Textile Treasury: November 2014
http://textiletreasury.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
My life in stitches. Saturday, 29 November 2014. Well, not quite sure how to open this post - it's been such a while since I last posted and I've almost forgotten what I was going to say about the craft fair! I put the photos up quite soon after but then got into a whirlwind of cooking and music and family stuff and textiles quite went out of the window and everything to do with it. The flat, round basket on top of the font at the front so intrigued me. Julie tells me it is an Irish Potato Strainer, ...

Textile Treasury: September 2014
http://textiletreasury.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
My life in stitches. Thursday, 25 September 2014. And here is Carolyn herself. Right at the bottom of the hall, wearing a blue top, you can see my friend Bev (ex-nursing colleague, and musical mate) attending to her own stand of beautiful glass jewellery. In the confusion of meeting up with another textile chum - Magie Relph, of the African Fabric Shop - I forgot to take a photo of Bev's stand, but I shall do next time. And yes, I did buy FOR MYSELF the colouring book! Another purchase I made came from a...

Soaps and Roses: June 2014
http://soapsandroses.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 24 June 2014. La Vie en Rose. It was June and the world smelled of roses. In the garden, over the arch under the Laburnum tree,. Flouncing her petals and wafting a delicious fragrance, whilst strands of honeysuckle entwine around her stems, is one of my all-time favourite roses -. Beside the huge Arum Lily,. Sweetly scenting the air around the table and chairs,. Pink and pretty is the rose "Gertrude Jekyll",. While to the forefront is "The Dark Lady" behind the delicate pink flowers of a peony,.
