Feast your eyes on these wonderful pieces of vintage fabric at Rag Rescue tomorrow


So what have I been doing at Rag Rescue today you might ask.
Well apart from wrapping orders, posting them and answering emails, I have -

Cut out ready to photograph

10 scrappy parcels and 40 scrapbags 

That was 200 pieces of scraps for the scrappy parcels 
and
160 pieces of fabric for the scrapbags.

Now I just have to cut 40 pieces of card for the scrapbags and I can
begin photographing all of them. tomorrow.

Me thinks I had better go and get my own ironing done then, as it is piled high.

Don't forget to put the clocks back so that you can have an extra hour in bed, that is if your children or dogs will let you.

Don't forget from tomorrow morning items will be listed at 7am GMT

Vintage French fabric and Christmas mood board.

Four more lovely pieces of French fabric for your sewing projects. All at the Rag Rescue website tomorrow.


I thought I would create a Christmas mood board today as it gives viewers an idea of what vintage fabrics and embellishments there are on the website that could be used for Christmas crafts.
Enjoy.

Finally I would like to send my sympathy to everyone in Ireland who are living through the terrible floods there.

A rose is a rose is a rose............

There is nothing more difficult for a truly creative painter than to paint a rose, because before he can do so he has first to forget all the roses that were ever painted.
Henri Matisse

Beautiful old Pearsalls and Penelope Fibrone embroidery silks

I  really, really love very old houses and love living in one 
UNTIL....
when I'm at my desk printing out a large order from a new customer, there is a very large bang in my stock room next door.
The top shelf had fallen down with all of my files and boxes of pencils, brushes etc all over the floor.
Upstairs where my study and stock room are, all of the walls are still latt and plaster, except the one wall where the shelf was. I suppose it was just the dodgy plaster and perhaps I overloaded it.
So now I have one upturned shelf in my stock room but I have cleared away all it's contents.
Another job for hubby to do.
Thank you for looking and listening to my moans.
