So sorry I have been absent for a few weeks. I haven't been feeling at all creative, though I am trying to finish a few projects!
I think that's the trouble frankly. The excitement for me is when I am designing, planning and sorting through fabrics. At the moment I'm feel guilty about all the unfinished things that are piling up and every time a spark of an idea comes to me I feel I must stifle it. I know that if someone was telling me this about themselves I would tell them not to be so silly. I would say that unfinished projects are not a sin and in the event of them not being finished by you, someone else may finish them for you! However, I'm not in the mood for taking this on board and am feeling rather down!
It's not helped by warm weather! I know we are all supposed to like hot, sunny weather, but I'm a true North European and I don't. In fact my spirits tend to plummet when the temperature rises!
On a more cheerful note, I'm still deeply into EB and have had some lovely visits with EB friends and have acquired one or two new treasures!
Though I do buy new pieces from Stoke, I tend to buy older pieces on eBay. The large cup and saucer on the right of the picture is a rare piece and was spotted on eBay by an eagle eyed friend, who bought it on my behalf.
I visited with this same friend last week and here is her lovely lunch table filled with assorted EB - she apologises for the trailer in the picture but if we had cropped that we would have lost the beautiful view - she lives in the midst of wonderful Welsh countryside.
Sunny days are delightful on times and this was such a day!
