Keep your pins tidy and add a splash of color Tutorial at Hope and Gloria Blog "Although it's possibly not the most sophisticated of flowers, I am rather fond of the sunflower. I have always loved their cheerful faces and was disappointed to find out that they don't actually turn their "heads" towards the sun, as I always thought this was a lovely image. It's currently sunflower season and I have seen plenty of these lovely, striking blooms for sale in the local florist. Maybe next year I shall get around to growing my own. They featured in this fantastic bunch of flowers that I received as a "Thank you" gift at the end of term and this got me thinking of a new design for a pincushion".... Read more

Join the popular tropical interiors trend Tutorial at Pillar Box Blue Blog "I love the tropical trend at the moment, I think it’s because it remind me of my childhood growing up in the far east.

The big difference is the roof and the tropical fabric print I used. Also I managed to find some lovely tropical birds to adorn my birdhouse.   I actually prefer this tropical fabric version of my birdhouse to the original.

Use a small space to extra storage in your kitchen Tutorial at Grandma's House DIY Blog "I knew from the very beginning with Grandma’s house that the kitchen would end up being a bit of a galley. At first I leaned to using the closet under our stairs for our pantry but it worked out too well for that to be our wood storage. I also knew that we would probably have enough storage to make it work without a pantry but upon running into several, narrow, rolling pantrys on Pinterest (Check out this one, isn’t it gorgeous!?) I knew exactly what I would be building".... Read more
