my creative space...

I have so much of this silk fabric and, as you may have noticed, it has featured in a few of my posts now, I love it to bits! I usually get quite sick of pattern but not this one..
I'm making a little (dottie inspired) 'Loved' banner for display, though I'm not sure about the wonk of these letters, the 'e' is way too big, & perhaps some more garland, why not!!  I'm picturing lots of garland hanging at the narrow windows in our bedroom instead of a full curtain, all floaty & whimsy like.. 

For more creative peeps, head over to Kirsty's...
