I am back in my studio after a week of holiday. We went to the Summerhouse my dad has been building for the last years. It's finally finished and perfectly cosy on a cold winter day too, I just wish we could have stayed longer! My dad was so clever to make these peeking holes on the loft for the grandchildren!
Mum and dad had prepared a great sledding hill for us and the weather was perfect (that's my mum in the picture)! Look at all that snow!!!
This is Big E taking a break from reading, she was mostly up on the loft reading all the books we got in the local second-hand book shop :)
I got this one for me, I fell in love with the beautiful cover, but I am certain it has some useful information inside too! I am very ready for the gardening season! Last weekend felt promising, snow dripping from the roof and birdsong, ah!
So the time felt right to make an art print of this picture to keep hope up during the cold days that I'm sure will come during March. Yes, there will be flowers! Eventually.
The Love machine is now also an art print. At the moment this is my favourite of my printed designs, I love how the colours of the quilt turned out. Tomorrow I will finish the rest of the paper work I have waiting and then dedicated the rest of the week to sewing! I cannot wait!
What are you longing for today?
I really love your blog so I'm tagging you with this award :http://sewhappiness.blogspot.com/2011/03/i-got-award.html

I love the Love Machine print! You must be delighted. Longing for the green shoots of spring, both literal and metaphorical. ;)

I'm longing for the 'Bat Lady' to tell me her survey is clear.
I really really don't want the building work held up by bats!

Sounds wonderful Emma! I hope to live in a house and have chickens one day!

I'm longing for one of those yummy prints, and also for spring we have just taken on half an allotment and I can't wait to get started. My husband has also promised me a chicken house and chickens for my birthday yay.
