Heart to Heart

I'm definitely feeling the pressure of Friday looming and not being ready. I was determined to be hyper organised for this event, but it seems that's not meant to be. Instead of organising what I have, I'm busily creating more. That's me - when the going gets tough... go make...

I've been making lots of Lavender Hanging Hearts. The aroma in my studio is just to die for. I've the biggest bag of the most fragrant lavender sitting waiting to fill the little lovelies.

They haven't quite turned out how I'd imagined them in my head. But that never does happen. I didn't have the time I would have liked to work on getting that right, so instead we have simplistic shaker style hearts ready to decorate your tree/house this Christmas. I must say I am a big Shaker fan and alot of what i do is influenced by the simplicty and colours of that.

It's a good job, because I've made so many of the damned things that I'm sure there will be plenty to decorate every corner of my own place this season!

(And if you aren't anywhere near Harewood House this weekend, but you would like some, they are available here and here x)

Lovely Bedroom

Isn't this a lovely bedroom?

Come and take a closer look... Doesn't that bed look inviting?

It's covered with my very favourite crocheted throw from Habitat.

I bought this cushion aeons ago in a Designer Guild sale. I love it just as much today.

As for my corner of tranquility with the all time greatest Tree Fall Design Pear Cushion.

And look at the view. On a day like today this is a pure slice of heaven.

I have this beautiful print on the wall by the talented Munieca. I could stare at this picture all day - until I get around to buying this one.

I've even position nice little scented lavender hearts in unexpected places (you don't know this one is there until you've closed the door behind you.)

This has to be my favourite room in the house for all the above reasons and more. You may wonder then why we choose to sleep here instead?

I have absolutely no idea! You'll have to speak to my husband about that! In the meantime, I'm taking my coffee and going back here.

Ahhh. That's better.
