A bit of sewing and a bit of time dreaming of farms.
Adding to my shopping list at the North Somerset Country Show.
We’d have to include a vintage tractor too, on our farm. I have a bit of a soft spot for tractors (here). Ah, dreams.
In the meantime, BL dreams of flying in a hot air balloon, so I knew she’d love the balloon fabric.
I’m pleased at the way the pleats give the impression of balloons behind other balloons.
And matching the pattern at the seams. She loves the skirt and I’m dreaming about making more pleated skirts.
And finally, someone reliving their childhood. (He does let the children join in.)
Add in cricket plus plenty of sunshine and that was the weekend.
Hope you had a lovely weekend.
Looks like a lovely day out, the skirt is really clever the way the pleats work.
The pleats worked out well, although I keep looking at the skirt and thinking of ways I’d change it. A little tweek and I could have arranged the balloons slightly different. Ah well. On to the next project.
I dream of farms too. And I’m not surprised she loves the skirt – just right for this time of year. Juliex
We have lots of hot air balloons that come over us from Bristol and Bath during the summer. The children still get very excited when they see them. It’s one of our signs of summer.
Looks like a lovely time was had by all. I love those type of shows. We’ve enjoyed many in the past
We try and go to all the country shows. Especially the ones with live stock. Even better when it’s not pouring and the sun is out.
oh what a wonderful weekend you had! i love the photos of the animals – that cow has stollen my heart!
this coming weekend is the sheep and wool festival in minnesota, i’m looking forward to seeing a few sheep myself!!
I agree with you about the belted galloway. Just gorgeous and firmly on my shopping list. Although I probably shouldn’t base my criteria for cow purchases on their cuddliness! 😀 😀 Hope you enjoy the show.
