I also just love these cosmos
maybe I will paint them on my wall
in the bedroom ,opposite the white cosmos,blue iris and yellow daffodils wall....
sewing is just one of the things I do. Also have been known to work on catering jobs ,film catering included.The other hat I wear is a farm worker on an organic farm.Nothing like lots of blue sky and sunshine on the top of your head.Plus we need to add coffee making at "the Lane"

new projects
I am about to venture into the world of shop window displays.
In the bookshop in Eltham,Meera wants me to make a stage curtain and backdrop for the window of the shop ready for Christmas.With lots of red velvet and gold tassles and trim...
The whole stage area will only be about two metres tall and one metre wide so it is more like a diarama. I am trying to find some red velvet,probably crushed and polyester because the window faces west, so has sun on it all day and will cause the fabric to fade..
I had a great play looking at images on the web and have decided ambitiously to be inspired by this amazing image and am doing my best to create it (if I can find the fabric.)I am off to Sally Mills on Monday to have a look at what she has in the way of velvet and red..
I have also made aprons for the publishers reps. who come to the shop. At the end of the year Meera gives them a gift .In the past it has been bottles of wine etc, but this year they will receive a Sue Thomas apron with the bookshop logo of an owl reading... screenprinted on the front..
