Not idle...

I do realise that sometimes there are large gaps between my posts and I do apologize, but I am not completely idle during these silences.  Sometimes, there is not much to show apart from work in progress (I can be slow!...) or I am waiting for the opportunity to have a picture taken (I have finished one knitted top but the weather hasn't be too good to wear short sleeves lately...) or (yes, I confess...) I have spent too much time on Pinterest to gather inspiration instead of actually making something!... So I will have to shake myself awake and I promise I will try to post religiously on a regular basis.

I am still in my "Let's tidy the home" mood,  and I finally bought a frame for this print I bought in Paris last year.  Better late than never!... I put it up in the dining area in the kitchen, bought a lovely red polka dot oilcloth for the table, in the hope of giving this corner a cheerful French atmosphere. More photos will follow when I am finally happy with the look...

Having bought a new sofa for the living-room and Spring (surely?) not far away, I thought a bright and colourful cushion would be welcome. It am proud to say that I only used left over yarns from previous projects  and an old sheet for the backing. It is an envelope style cushion, super easy to make with minimum sewing.  I need to refine my technique by practising on more cushions using my fabric stash.

The sun has just come out as I am writing this. Spring MUST be in the air... Have a lovely week!...

I could imagine your little french corner so very well, must look most pretty with the dotted table cloth. (And I am now waiting urgently for your promised pictures) The fabric of your new sofa is wonderful, a great shade to both sides, lightness and spotfree. And your cushion looks so very good there, gives it all the colour and brightness for crisp and fresh springdays. Very charming. Spring isn´t really here in my place, but I still hope and long for it to arrive soon.
Have a lovely sunday afternoon,
with my best wishes,
Suzi

I submitted a comment but the computer ate it up, so here goes another try, fingers crossed.
Your print from Paris sis really pretty. I could spend a long time looking at pictures like these and make upstories about what the characters are doing.
What fun it must be to create a french dining area. The read polka dot oilcloth sounds like a cheery addition. So is your new cushion. The bright colours look at home on your new sofa.
