minty knitting

Got some knitting yarn recently from John Lewis... don't know what to do with it though.

No. 67 Columbia Road

Whilst pigeon stepping through Columbia Road Sunday flower market last weekend (obviously not the only Londoner taken back by the bazaar sunny spell we had), I spotted a gorgeous fabric shop and haberdashery - Beyond Fabrics - which sells retro inspired printed fabrics (sourced from around the world) some amazing braided ribbons, amongst other pretty knickknacks.

colour, colour, make and do

Met my mum after work today at our local John Lewis' haberdashery department - treated myself to a selection of kitsch and colourful wool, and got a belated Christmas present from my mother in the way of the Cath Kidston Stitch! book... I'm gonna have me some fun making some of these gems! Can't wait.
After my mum had seen how we'd dress the bed back in the children's section in our store, she vowed to have the fushia pink childs chanderleir to go with her fantasy bedroom, edecked with Pip bedding and accessories. One day mum... one day.

Stumbled upon Letterpress Delicacies on etsy.com, they also have a wonderful range on their flickr.

Oh yeah and when next I have a spare £75.00 free... I could buy everything to make one of these kitsch cushions, courtesy of Emily Peacock.
