Spring Inspration and Button giveaway





Sunday was our first taste of spring. It was a warm, sunny, glorious day that we spent on a bush picnic. The boys looked for tadpoles in the stream, played hide and seek and we went bush walking. I also found these beautiful seed pods (not in the bush but right outside our house on the footpath!) They are the start of a new print - wonderfully earthy and natural. And talking of earthy I also have made some very rustic, over sized ceramic buttons - not quite sure what to do with them at this stage but I was thinking a large canvas tote bag or the like. If anyone has any ideas leave me a comment and I will happily send you some in the mail.
