Are you getting tired of seeing wildflowers from my garden? I promise, this will be the last time this week. I just had to show you what is really growing crazy along the edges of all the garden beds and in amongst the strawberry plants. This month belongs to the forget-me-nots and I've found them in both white and blue. I had fun embroidering them onto a piece of grey wool fabric (it was a gift from Ella– thank you!) and making this cushion cover for my shop update today, along with some other things. 

It's a seriously grey day here today. Clouds and cold and rain and wind. I was kept in a cheerful state by my baby niece Noa dancing to this song and smiling widely whilst eating her marmite toast.

    Ditto again. You take something quite ordinary and promote it to extraordinary. I love that about what you do. About appreciating the simple things, the small things. Tiny things that make me feel happy. Tiny Happy. It all fits. 😉

    I love how you are inspired by something and react to it with immediate effect, I haven’t see anyone work like that before. It’s marvellous!

    do I spy a little forget-me-not stamping in the top photo? a lovely image either way. I don’t tire of seeing your wildflowers and they’re very effective here as an accent on the cushion. long may they bloom!

    Beautiful Melissa! And I never get tired of seeing wild flowers – especially to see how they inspire you in your projects. I finished a brooch yesterday inspired by yours – only had stitched some pink coneflowers on it. (They were in bloom when I started it, months ago.) 🙂

    It’s lovely seeing the flowers from your garden (real and embroidered), especially since they have all gone asleep here…

    It is fall here and our flowers are long gone. So, it is wonderful to see yours, both in pictures and your beautiful embroidery. Actually, they are nice to see anytime!
