Flowers, Flowers Everywhere...

It has been a very busy weekend despite the awful weather which is still covering Cornwall. I feel sorry for anyone who has booked a holiday here, it really has not let up at all and this morning looks like a November day.

You may remember that I found this lovely piece of fabric on Ebay by Micheal Miller a few weeks ago. I thought (and hoped) that it would be perfect for my friends diary cover. Well I finished it just before I went on holiday. We met up at another friends house on Saturday and I was able to give it to her.

I tried out a new idea by incorporating a pen holder as well. I found a small pen to slot in, may need to adjust this slightly if a longer pen is needed.

I lined the inside with blue cotton fabric. I used pink binding down the edges and here added my label. On the left I added two pockets. This is a new addition, previous covers had a plastic pocket but this time I decided to try something a little stronger.

Close up of pockets.
Kirsty left a lovely comment on an earlier post where I mentioned the cover for the first time so I will transfer it to here.

"Hello, have managed at last to find how to comment although I have already confused myself with the next step! I think that the ICT section of my brain has really deserted me! I just wanted to say another huge THANK YOU for my wonderful, funky diary cover - I love it!!
Kirsy X"

Anytime Kirsty!
I want to try and get hold of some more this fabric because it think it is great.

Well on Sunday we went to see a cat and we brought him home that afternoon. I will post some pictures but as he is a little unsure at the moment so sneaking up on him with a camera may not be a good idea at the moment. there is also a little story that goes with him too.

It is raining again today so Sophie is going to do some cutting and sticking and I am going to use the sewing machine so the kitchen table is booked!
