Another post about plants, here are a few from my ever growing collection.
Here is a rubber bucket from 1950s that I love very much, bought in a wonderful antique and bookshop in Edinburgh called Duncan & Reid. Have plans to one day learn how to make something similar. |

There was a Green Woodpecker in the garden yesterday and I was pretty excited (although the RSPB say its pretty common). As it was too far away for my camera to get a good picture I had a look on the web and ended up finding this "The Feather Book of Dionisio".The illustrations are made almost entirely from feathers and it dates from the 1600s. Hopefully I will see the woodpecker again, I heard him tapping away this morning. I could get quite into birding but pretty sure I won't ever be a twitcher.

Made a couple of presents recently including this Nosey Purse, think I might have to make a few more for the shop. Have been working on a couple more cushion designs too, more news on them soon.

A belated happy new year to one and all, time is flying in 2012. In Banderole news get 15% off all Banderole products through the I Am The Lab shop, a place that celebrates all things handmade. The nice people at I Am The Lab also have started an excellent campaign called the 1AM promise to encourage people to buy 1 handmade item a month. So to start you off The Lab shop would be a very good place to have a look at lots of really excellent handmade goods and get some nice discounts too.
