Lino Love

Suzi Sparrow brooch

Isn't the internet the most amazing place? For me it has created connections in lots of places and so much creative inspiration.

I love Betty Jo Designs and when I saw this lino…

…at my friend's house just before its demolition, I grabbed a couple of pieces and sent them to Liz aka Betty Jo Designs.

And Suzi Sparrows is the result! Liz used some lino in the wing of the Suzi Sparrow brooch and sent it to me!

I absolutely love the brooch and put it on and wore it straight away. I will show the brooch to my friend. Now he'll now why I was so excited about the lino; he's an artist so will understand.

Note to self: Must learn to use this camera properly! It took nearly 20 shots to get a photo in focus. In the end, I took off my top and took the photo lying flat on the bed!

Things that make me happy


Bird Bath has been having A Week of Happy. I'm a bit slow to join but nevertheless I here!

This is what is making me happy. This is a beautiful gift from Jodie: a note purse (with lovely soft woollen lining), a crochet washcloth and a soap that I can't stop sniffing! Plus a beautiful handmade card.

A big thank-you, Jodie, for this wonderful parcel. I'm really touched by your thoughtfulness and craftiness.
