I don’t quite know what it is…
…but combine the general cuteness of all things Cath Kidston--
…the fabric, the yarn…
…the florals…
…all the household goodies…
…and I’m a complete goner!
Then, you combine all that with needlework--
…and I’m in absolute heaven!
Couldn’t help but snatch up this fabulous needlework book and get to work!
Tied up in all the rest of my obsessions above noted, I love England. All of it. And I really love the design of the Union Jack. I’m so very grateful that I’m an American girl through and through—but a couple hundred years ago, this was the flag of my people (without the adorable flowers, of course!). And it has always had a place in my heart, as well…
…so I chose this beauty for my first project.
And then, I found I just couldn’t stop!
Happily, included in the book was a smaller version. In a brighter color scheme. What’s a girl to do?!
Just the feel of the lovely wool yarn ask I worked with my hands was a joy—now to just figure out what these sweet canvas pieces will be…..
…I’m quite sure they’ll let me know!
See you soon!
