A little inspiration .....



.. Nautical Days...



It has been a rather nautical few days around here!
Our eldest daughter arrived back from Rome
after staying with friends for a few days
and I love this image taken by her relaxing in a rowing boat on a beautiful lake,
feet up and looking out on a world with endless possibilities.
It just says so much about her free spirit and
those wonderful, carefree days when only eighteen years of age!




When one of my favourite house magazines
Homes & Antiques
 arrived through the door at the beginning of the week
 there was a lovely article full of sea faring decorative items. 
Such bright and beautiful colours....




......which  made me  decide to revisit my sewing machine
(which  hasn't had much to do of late!)
and make a pair of my favourite nautical hearts
to brighten up the bathroom.




I intend to add a drawstring bag in this
fabric with a brightly coloured lining although that may have to wait
a short while ....



......as I now have lots of inspiration  
for the colours in my new project.
I intend this to be a little oddment project which won't take long to make
and will hopefully make a pretty decorative item
or a perfect little gift for someone special.....




Etsy Shop Update
My ETSY shop will reopen on Moday 19th April






Take care

Easter Giveaway !



A Little Easter Celebration
from

Mary Jane's TEAROOM



While I have been reorganising my yarn baskets over the last few days
I came across 2 balls of beautiful DK Alpaca Yarn from 
Alpaca Select 
in
  Light Camel
which I have decided to offer in my
Easter Prize Draw.
This yarn will be suitable to knit any of the rabbits'/bears' bodies from my patterns
or could be used in many other DK projects. 
It has more of a warm, honey tone than the photograph
and is very similar in colour to the yarn used for
BO & ANIKA.






 The prize draw will take place on  
Easter Monday 6th April

If you would like to be included!
Just leave a note in the comment box saying that
you would like to take part in the draw and all names
will be put into a hat and the winning name drawn out
on the above date.
I will then post a quick message on Monday with the winner's name. 
The yarn will also be posted FREE of charge.



Good luck!



And best wishes for a lovely
Easter!
