Among the Ferns!

happy monday!

on saturday i won my first blog prize...
well really tif fussell of 'dottie angel ' fame did first!
tif won a gold and silver prize in the handmade olympics...
{see the 'dottie angel' link on the right for more details}
and i was one of five that she handed her prize on to.

i won $50 from sarah at 'mousetrap vintage' on etsy...

i chose a 1946 golden book encyclopaedia
and two vintage retro cookbooks...
and a packet of paper flags with a pennsylvania coat of arms printed on them...
'cos sharrie used to live in pennsylvania for a while.

when i receive them i'll show them to you all...
thanks tif!

i  made two 'little rainforest' cushions on saturday...
here's a few pics of them
among the ferns and staghorn...

nestling in there...like they belong!


the fabric is from nancy @ a gardner's cottage...
this is the last of the rainforest fabric.


'if'....anything is possible!



the button up backs in brown.

now!
i must stop procrastinating...
i've had two surveys to collate for a local radio station
for 3 weeks..
i must do them this week
and have only just started.
i know!
i feel really guilty...
and some long hours of true application are ahead of me.

so i will go and bury myself in paperwork,
excel and word...
graphs and analysis
summaries and statistics...
until all is completed!

by for now...
