Autumn in a frame....

I was a little later than usual in getting a sampler made to switch out my summer-themed one...

Sunshine on a rainy day...

This feels a little like making jams and jellies and storing up autumn harvest for the winter: I've spent this week working on a summer sampler to send to a friend who has already received winter and spring ones. We've had a mini heatwave this week, it felt like being abroad last night when we walked out of a shop at 8.30 last night and it was still warm and balmy outside. Today, however, has been raining ever since I got up, and is an unrelenting grey through the windows.

B loves pink and flowers and birds, so I hope this will please her, It's much sunnier and brighter than the one I made for myself last year so I am almost tempted to make another - but mine is more reflective of a typical Irish summer!!
