Weekend makings and a winner!

Hiya!
This weekend has been one of those ones where everything gets done.
The type that you are satisfied with.
I cleaned, cooked, washed the car, attempted to sort my office, Mic mowed the lawn and we had a nice time with the boys.
I even whipped up this new cushion.
Not having done anything in white and back for some time now I thought I would try it out
...and I do like this.

The great thing is that it goes with every cushion in my range.
So this will become a staple at Marley & Lockyer.
What do you think?


As I mentioned before, I attempted to sort my office.
Didn't get very far - sidetracked really.
I found some unused canvases which I had painted Tractors and the like for the boys rooms
when they were born.
They needed to be used.
I turned them into little collages for my office wall.
Just out of things I had around the room.
A penny farthing from one of my Necklaces and some vintage buttons.
A piece of fabric tape measure, one of my stoneware Birds and some vintage lace.
Some old book pages, more vintage buttons and then some doodles with a black pen.
Oh and some warm white paint to cover the Tractors and sailboats!!

Voila!
A new addition to my office picture wall, which is coming along nicely.
There is another one which is being finished and I think they will look great together on the wall.
As you can see I enjoyed my weekend.
I hope you did too.

I do have to let you know who won the Ramsign Enamel Sign Giveaway before I head off.

  8. I know the feeling about the weekend, although you were able to put more creativity to use than I. We gutted our master bathroom all weekend. The pillow is fab and the office artwork is just great. You are so very talented!
