A little treat

Something you probably don't know is that I am crazy about Hugh Fearnley- Whittingstall. I watch all his shows and LOVE them. I think he is fabulous.
So to treat myself I bought my very first River Cottage cookbook (which won't be the last) and Zakka Style. So many cute things to make. Very sweet.

Have you treated yourself to anything lovely lately?

Inspiration overload

A few months ago I preordered a book by Tula Pink. You know, the amazing designer that created the fabric that I used in my daughters quilt & pocket pillow.
Yesterday, it arrived.
First of all - I almost didn't want to open it - the label was so cute. I am a sucker for cute packaging.

 And when I finally did open it - (after saving the awesome label), I pulled out this beautiful book.

From cover to cover - it is amazing. I couldn't get enough. My mind was swirling with ideas instantly. Best money I have spent in ages. Tula's mind is just creative genius.
There's plenty of quilts to try plus cushions and other bits.
If you only buy one sewing book this year - I'd recommend it be this one!
I abolutely love it.
Now my fingers are really itching to start something.
