Feeling Inspired

I am feeling inspired today, it's been a while since I've had time to think, let alone work! The summer is always a bit tricky as there is so much going on at the end of term and the girls are then on holiday so I am busy spending time with them, however, today I am on my own and so I've been drawing in my sketchbook and starting something new inspired by flower formation. (Nice choice of yarns for this item, even if I say so myself!) It started off with a wander around the garden.... first I collected a basket of yummy veg

then I took some photos of the gorgeous flowers with interesting centres, or seed heads...

How could I fail to be inspired with all these around me, and the sun is shining! Have a happy inspiring day.

P.S. I said I'd show you the results of the party costumes and cake...

The birthday girl as Edward Scissorhands,

and with her sister as Marilyn Monroe,

and finally the cake!
