I've been using a few of my own fabrics to make some things for friends, family, and my little shop. It's a bit of a thrill to use your own fabric, actually. It's fun. The 'Climbing Trees' print seems to be just the right scale for baby slippers, and a bag to hold A's current lego project. 

It's equally thrilling to send yards of the fabric out to people who have ideas for it- and so I thought I'd set up a flickr group for people to post their finished projects using the prints I've designed. You can find and join the group here. Thanks! I'd love to check out what you're making.

The last photo above shows some beautiful crocheted pieces of black 'Vita' made by Louana and sewn to a red wool cushion. The hair-tie was made by Jo of Dusty Plum using a piece of the 'Clara' print and she kindly sent me a pair for my own hair. 

Hope your weekend is a lovely one. See you on Monday.
