…in the fabric shop

Well I say fabric shop. It is actually a garden centre and on the board out side it says “We sell sheds and sewing machines”

What it is in fact, is a small garden centre in the process of being improved. There is a large greenhouse/conservatory with lots of very large tables and many many garden loungers around them. There is a coffee shop and two rooms attached to the conservatory. One room is full of the most beautiful fabric and sewing bits and the other has two huge tables set up with fabulous quilting machines with projects under the quilting hoops.

No body is working today as it is the first nice day we have had for ages and all the quilting ladies are in the ‘conservatory’ drinking tea and discussing their various quilting projects.
My friend and I had a lovely time: lots of looking, feeling, and wondering what we could do with it all! (both of us) and some purchasing (me) and tea of course.
The rafters in the fabric room were hung with these flower quilts.

And wicker baskets around the place were draped with these smaller quilts.

…on my driveway

What a lovely surprise, I haven’t seen my next door neighbours cat in such a long time. He is so beautiful, soft and friendly. There is not a speck of another colour on him except those lovely eyes. He was waiting on my wall and was happy to have his picture taken and then in return he jumped down and rolled over for a fuss. Bending over, fussing a black cat which was moving whilst trying to get my ‘looking down’ picture with my phone…not easy but I think you get the idea.

Guest post! I hope this is allowed?

Not me unfortunately, my son.

I was thrilled to get these for Look Up Look Down this week. Ok the look up is not very good but hey, he thought of me…

It looks a little bit like the tree is soaking up the oil!

Thank you Helena
