A Little Make....

Normally I'm a creator in fabric & wool
this & last year however has been a little
different creatively speaking....

wood, paint & tiles have primarily been my creative outlet,
more out of necessity then choice if I'm honest.
The excitement of having finally made something in tweed
& denim this year, I guess is my justification of this
rather photo heavy post for a little cushion cover.

Most of my ideas swirl around forever in my head

before I get round to making them but then again there

are a few that just can't wait. 

Looking over at the wing-chair the other day

it just called out to me for a new cushion cover

that has a more Autumn feel about it.

With plenty of tweed scraps & denim in my stash

the fabric choice was easy.

As this cushion is right next to the hexagon blanket

it is important that the two work well together.

 I have always been someone that enjoys the design journey

(playing around with ideas & fabric)

 almost more then the making of it,

by the time I actually make (sew or crochet)

my project I have already mentally moved on to the next one. 

  

I LoVe deliberating over my design concepts

with a hot cuppa & sweet treat they are always

very helpful in finalizing my decision.

 

Once I have made a final decision on the layout, it's all go.

I don't like zips in cushion covers therefore I always make
mine without instead opting for a very generous overlap opening.

 However this piece of tweed unfortunately was barley

enoughe to cover the back cushion making the overlap

a little smaller then I like so I may add a pretty

button at a later stage.   

I chose to make mitered corners.
They are a little more fiddly especially with fabric
that is naturally quite bulky & stretchy like denim.

But I feel it's well worth the extra "straggle"

for a beautiful finish.

     

As Autumn winds are swishing outside

& rain hits the window

I looked over at my wing-chair this afternoon....

feeling HaPpY....
VERY HAPPY....

I'm in LoVe....

Oh sOoOo in LOVE!

Wishing you all a beautiful week!

XOXO

Happy Watching....

With this season of Cold Feet coming to an end yesterday,

my evening TV drought especially on weekends has started.

I'm no "soaps" connoisseur, nor am I a lover of "talent" shows, 

so the run up to Christmas on TV 

is mostly a rather dull & boring affair for me.

Thank goodness for DVDs!

Thinking I may not be the only one out there who

finds telly a little uninspiring during the hibernation months,

I thought it'd be fun to share with you

ever so often one of my favorite films.

These posts are not reviews.... I'm no wannabe film critic.

You also won't find a long detailed synopsis about
the films highlighted on here either.

I see these posts more like a good host at a party, making the

introductions but the rest is up to you, nevertheless like a good host
I'm always very interested to hear your thoughts on it after.

Like everything else about me I don't fit neatly into one

specific film category box. There is however no point in denying

I'm very much a vintage & quirky movie girl at heart.

And therefor I'm starting off this "happy watching" series, with a film

that is vintage, quirky and has a real Autumn feel about it.

I LoVe murder mysteries & I like Hitchcock

but I definitely don't do gory blood & guts on screen,

I know to some that may seem a little contradictory....  

   "The Trouble with Harry"
however is perfect for exactly that contradiction. 
 Probably not the best known of Hitchcock's films,
it is the story of a small village during a beautiful
Vermont Autumn where the discovery of a newly dead body
in the woods creates more then a few problems
for some of the quirkier residents in the village.
A great black humored romantic comedy with stunning

scenery and unbelievable calmness even in the panic,

a real joy to watch!

The introduction is made,

 now I would LoVe to hear what you think?!?
