Life is a rollercoaster...

If you follow me on Instagram, you will know that yesterday had its ups and downs!

It wasn't all gadding about and guesting over at Sara's you know.


I went back to work; 'nuff said, albeit that my day was cut short with a hospital visit; a girly with a hurting hip/leg, which is already pretty much better, but that involved waiting for 3 hours, (even having been referred by our GP!), only to be told to come back if it gets worse... we are not going back!

Yes we have that bloody Mr Chimp again!
And then the arrival of a bundle of gorgeous fabric from Denyse Schmidt...


I say from, as in, it really was from Denyse Schmidt she arranged it and everything, because this is her Hadley collection!!  How bloody thrilled and excited am I!?


We exchanged emails a few weeks back, and now I have the full pre-release in my grabby hands...


Sadly no sunny photo opportunities today; loudest clap of thunder at 6am and then rain pretty much non-stop from then until about an hour ago, so you will have to make do with these; but believe me, I'll be getting more snaps as soon as the sun comes out; I need to capture these for prosperity...


And before you all launch in, I know there is a lot of brown, but Denyse does good brown, rich chocolate, none of that stuff that reminds you of babies or really old ladies!

So I am now thinking on what to make; the prints remind me so much of my 1970s childhood, I may have to go with that and run, and run!


OK, I think I have exhausted my supply of exclamation marks for the day a lifetime, so I better love you and leave you.

Here's to a fun and fabric-filled weekend folks xxx

  17. You get gifts from Denyse and all I got was a like and a comment on Facebook. Lucky you. You think she'll come up with a "di" fabric collection? I doubt it. Glad said twin is doing better.

  20. That is so cool that Denyse sent you some of the new fabrics - they do have a very 70's vibe about them. Hope your little one feels better.

  21. oh wow, how fab! Wonder when Kate Spain is going to bring out a range called "Wendy"?

  22. It's wrong isn't it, that I'm completely wondering if I should change my name just to get my mits on that fabric stack !!! Lucky you, it looks fantastic! Can't wait to see what you make!

  23. I love your description of brown and you are so spot on!

  24. I'm so far behind reading blogs, but I do think I remember your bad day from IG a couple of weeks back. I'm sorry, but I just can't get into the 70s decorator colours of orange and brown. I've tried but it's a trend I just can't embrace! Reminds me of my parents lounge suite we had in the 80s!
