Friday smile

Happy Friday all!!

I haven't joined in for ages with Annie's Friday smile.

Life just gets a bit hectic at times and I try not to spend too much time on the computer when there are so many other things to do!

Today I just wanted to share this bit of gorgeous colour with you.

I bought it as a little Christmas gift but don't think I can part with it as it makes me smile each time I see it.

The little cyclamen has deep rosy pink, curly petals and looks lovely on my dining table.

So enjoy it everyone and if you want more smiles pop over to Annie's "A stitch in time blog".

Have a great weekend.

In the pink!

Today I decided to blog all things pink!

Daughter M. helped me to make these gorgeous, little, sequined cushions. We found a beautiful jacket in our local charity shop and just couldn't resist "up-cycling" it. The result.... two tiny, pale pink, silky cushions 13" x 10".

They have a soft, pink suedette reverse side and a little "pillow case" closure with press studs.

I will pop them in the blog shop once we have had our post-sale clear out. The sale ends next Monday 31st.

Now for the rest of the pinkiness in my house this week!!

Tulips from M's friend. I re-covered a little bedroom seat for her so she gave me these - a lovely breath of Springtime. (Sadly the weather isn't very Spring-like - look at the frost on the hillside!)

The cyclamen was a Christmas gift and is looking very perky now Wipso!!!

And this delicate blossom is a tiny Dendrobium orchid that flowers, just occasionally, to surprise me! It has about five blooms at the moment and is so pretty.
