For the first time in so long its sunny here in Cockburnspath.Two weeks ago I was walking the dogs in snow and now Im having lunch in the garden.Ive been popping in and out finishing off a little donkey called Doris.

She is on ebay under wee scone.
Im going back out to do some gardening now.My favourite flowers are all coming out .

Also this week I have tried to combine my love of antique mohair and vintage sewing collectables.The result is quite an elegant little pin cushion.Its made with an antique brass arts and crafts napkin ring.Ive used 100 year old mohair filled with sawdust and embelished it with vintage pearls.Ive added some gorgeous vintage pins.Its on ebay right now.
