the little things..

this morning our boys woke to find this note left by daddy, he's been travelling a bit of late and was dreading to have  to go again this morning..

 home for a day before going again, we made the most of the warm evening at the beach after school..

I love that he leaves these sweet notes, answering random questions asked by little ones half asleep, as he kisses them goodnight..

See you Friday beautiful man..x

love...

it's all about the love... 

we'll be trimming the tree this year with lots of our own handmade love... 

with a seemingly endless supply of doilies and scrap fabrics, I'm having lots of fun putting them to good use making new bits & pieces.. 

to pretty up our place...

I'm sure there'll come a day in this house full of boys, when all the prettiness will not be approved of, though for now it's linens & lace to my hearts content!

loving lace...

a little rainy day creating... 

I'm completely in love with this pretty vintage lace garland!  There is something about the ruggedness of the twine teamed with dainty fabrics that just makes me smile, what a gorgeous combination..

You may remember a little while ago I used a thrifted table runner to make this soft & airy springtime scarf, there was still so much of it left that I decided to make some pretty Christmas garland too...

Our computer has been running impossibly slow of late. I've not been able to view anyone's pictures & commenting has been a bit tricky, so just so you know I'm still here, still catching up on your posts and hopefully back to contributing VERY soon!

some therapeutic creating this week...

 cutting up a thrifted table runner to make the prettiest doily brooches...

 I can't decide which one I like most...

I love how they've turned out & I do believe they will make lovely Christmas gifts for the teachers this year. I'll pop some in the shop soon too...
