How does your garden grow? This is the first dress I made for myself after my good intentions to make myself more clothes. It's not gone too well as this one is still unfinished and I have now got a part time job as well as sewing orders to get them out on time.

I don't mind that I don't make myself that much clothing as I get a nice amount of satisfaction knowing other people are wearing it. But still, now summer has arrived I will be making myself a swimming costume (fingers crossed).

The table in our bedroom has become a growing station. It's like a little green house in the window so it's the perfect spot to start off our plants. All these pots are nasturtiums that I'm growing to have on the tables at my sisters wedding. They've shot up since these photos and the table is now a mass of green. My windows need a good cleaning.

I have given in & finally bought some little organisation things. It may sound silly but having somewhere to keep your threads & bobbins makes a big difference rather than scrabbling around for things. I am naturally a very disorganised person so I often find myself searching through pockets & bags & on the floor for something & then I find what I was looking for in the draw named 'Needles' (for example). I just never suspect that I would have actually put something back in it's right place, but I am trying to change my habits & need to get used to being more organised than I think I am. I've just bought a whole load more of the organic cotton threads, I think little things like that make a difference when trying to be a bit more environmental. Also, I want to line them all up on my new spool holder & I like the way the wooden spools look. 

I got these hyacinths the other day & they have opened up a treat. They smell beautiful like spring.

Thank you so much for all the feedback on the Liberty prints! I have chosen two - I couldn't just choose 1 in the end - & I've already started to make up a dress in one, which I will be sharing very soon. I hope everyone has been having a lovely week. Apparently it is going to snow here tonight. I hope so.

I have become slightly obsessed with filling my studio with plants.
