Hello dear readers, happy Friday again!

This wallpaper-style print was part of the design process for this fabric, and my friend Karuna helped me make digital files and repeats of my paintings. So today's pattern is a bit of cheat really- I found it in an old scrapbook, just waiting to be scanned. It makes me think of faded wallpaper in an old house, or even 1980s-style floral friezes (my sister and I had one of those in our childhood bedroom).

Thank you to Jenny for this review of Sweet and Simple Handmade, and also to Ellie who has written about it over at Extra Curricular

I have received the first copies of the book and next week I'll hold a giveaway, so see you on Monday for that!

    Oh how thrilling about your book Melissa! It’s richly deserved. I’m off to see if I can order a copy.
    I think this pattern may be my favourite. It reminds me a little of an enamel piece I made recently: http://silverpebble-jewellery.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/winterspring.html
    Have a lovely weekend.

    Congrats on your book!
    Also, the second I saw your pattern, I remembered these dresses I wore in the 1980s… and then your analysis confirmed my associations were of the same era as yours!
