I’m trying to keep a positive attitude, while keeping my hands busy in the craft room. Crafting always relaxes me and it also provides an escape from the outside world for a bit. So why don’t you join me……

Hi creative friends, I'm thoroughly enjoying our vintage French theme this month and I hope you are too. I'm not sure if it is the provincial colour palette of warm neutrals and autumnal mauves, lilacs and blues..... or the gorgeous roses, daisies and lavender that are speaking to my heart right now, but I feel so inspired.
