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...
