Cheerful Happy Home wallhanging

Just look at this gorgeous wall hanging, bursting with colour and guaranteed to cheer up a wall anywhere.

Each house has a cute heart button doorknob.

The windows are a mixture of Cath Kidston paisley, antique rose, and another fabulous vintage floral fabric. They are set onto Cath Kidston Bubbles fabric, which has been padded and backed to give a quilted effect.

The wallhanging hangs on a length of bamboo, with white cord.

Depth of panel: 21 cm
Width of panel: 26 cm

Please note that this is slightly cheaper than the Washing Day hanging (please scroll down to view) because I haven't spent time embroidering letters onto it. If you want embroidery added (Happy home - or your choice), it will be an extra £3.

Washing Day Wall Hanging - Cath Kidston fabrics

What a pretty reminder of washing day to have hanging on your wall, perhaps above the washing machine or by the iron, or simply somewhere in the home!

This cheerful wallhanging has an apron, pair of shorts and a pretty dress, all composed from gorgeous Cath Kidston fabrics and hung on a washing line with mini pegs. The shorts have a glitter butterfly added, while a flower embellishes the apron. This is all my design and it is backed on strong hessian, with a Cath Kidston bubbles fabric backing. It is also padded inside, which gives it a lovely quilted effect.

The lettering is hand embroidered.

The supports for the washing line are sticks, while the mini pegs are cheerful colours, to make this as authentic in miniature as possible.

Depth of panel: 16.5 cm
Width of panel: 30 cm

Pretty French fabric bucket set

I have fabric buckets dotted all over the house and they are incredibly useful. I use them for holding wool, ribbon, scraps of fabric, fabric quarters, notes and letters, and I even have one for bits and pieces in the bathroom. Add a pot inside, and they look gorgeous with a plant or flowers inside. This listing in the shop is for a set of two fabric buckets, which just can't be separated as they work so well together...


These are made from a summer floral fabric I found in France last year. I haven't much left, so there won't be many of these around. They are lined with a complimentary good quality pink gingham.

The buckets are stiffened with interfacing for stability.


Or they look fab on a bathroom shelf with special bottles and cotton wool balls.


Sizes: note that height is with the top not folded down.
Medium: 15 cm (height); 11 cm (diameter)
Small: 12 cm (height); 10.5 cm (diameter)

I have other buckets available in the shop - please click on Fabric bucket under labels in the right hand side bar to find them quickly.

Laura Ashley bibi fabric pot - handcrafted

These look fabulous with pens/pencils, or line them with a glass or plastic pot and pop in a potted plant or flowers. I can make these up in a choice of fabrics - please scroll down to see alternatives in Cath Kidston boat/lighthouse fabric.


This has a card inner, and is made from Laura Ashley's ever popular Bibi print. Lovely, lush fabric, which I've lined with a co-ordinating red gingham. It's a lovely pot for summer, especially to pop on an outdoor picnic table.


Or indoors on the windowsill!

Height: 11 cm
Width: 8.5 cm


I've kept the price ridiculously low, and it doesn't reflect in any way the amount of work in the pot - treat yourself to something a little bit different. These pots are truly labour with a passion! I make them because I love making them.

Laura Ashley Clarice fabric small summer shoulder bag

This is a cute little bag, perfect for spring and summer. I've made it out of Laura Ashley's gorgeous Clarice fabric, which has a pretty embroidered repeat rose motif.

It has a button closure - a silvery blue button laid on top of a cream, both vintage buttons so unique. The large button measures 33 mm in diameter.

The shoulder strap length makes it a perfect underarm carrying length.

It is lined with a pretty floral fabric, with a cream background - a perfect contrast to the Laura Ashley, I thought.

Altogether a very cute bag for an evening out, when you just need a few bits and bobs.

Depth when laid flat: 17 cm
Width: 28 cm
Length of strap: 55 cm
