I'm travelling into a new way of working, a new country, a new language, and a new hobby which I'm passionate about. Come with me for some of the journey...

A touch of Calico
Hello all... Thanks so much for stopping by - but you needn't stay long!
In fact, I'd love it if you'd hop off straight away to the Calico Crafts blog, where I'm offering up a new Design Team piece today.
This one was just lovely to make, from beginning to end... hope you enjoy it even half as much as I did!
There's also a new challenge starting today at Our Creative Corner, hosted by the fabulous Jenny, a.k.a. Buttons. I didn't have time this month to create an inspiration piece, but my brilliant team-mates have offered up more than enough to get you going if you hop over there and take a look.
Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden where all the flowers are dead.

Apologies all... link to Calico now working!!

I do like those meadow grasses. The hanging is lovely. We call those umbel like flowers Queen Anne's lace over here. What is the quote from? I haven't heard it before. A beautiful gift, I like the splatters, too.
The quote on the hanging, I should have said. The "pray you love, remember".
This looks gorgeous Alison x huge hugs trace x
Fabulous!! Happy 1st FEbruary...
It looks beautiful. I hopped over to the link but it hasn't got anything there yet.
Love Chrissie x
Gorgeous hanging, the rusty hearts are wonderful. I tried leaving a comment on the CC blog, but it won't let me for some reason.

Love those rusty hearts. Off for a look...
Your sneak peek is wonderful, loving the splatters and colours :-) xxx
Oh that's gorgeous. We do love a bit of a splatter on art work.
Apologies for not mentioning it: "Rosemary, that's for remembrance" is part of Ophelia's mad scene from Hamlet. I should probably go and add that in to the Calico post.. thanks for pointing it out, Marci!!

Thanks, Alison. I have heard " Rosemary, that's for remembrance" but not the " pray you love, remember" part.
Loving your gorgeous hanging Alison, enjoy the weekend, Hugs Annette x

What a gorgeous make this is, might have to case the use of the old wood that you mounted it on.
