In our garden we have 5 potted rose bushes and 3 old  climbing plants. David Austin varieties are probably the best for spectacular blooms and they are  often  scented. Just flicking through the pages of his catalogue provides endless inspiration for a silk flower designer! … Read More

I just have to make sure I do not sew too many to clutter the house 🙂 Earlier this week I … Read More
