Today I have been taking inspiration from the flowers in my garden. I have been trying to capture the images of them in full bloom before they are too battered by the strong winds.

 

I love the free cross stitch kit that came with this months Mollie Makes, it looks as if it comes straight from my garden. I spent the afternoon stitching happily.

 

These roses also reminded me that I had a lovely Cath Kidston button factory that I had not yet had a play with, of course I then had to dig it out of my craft cupboard and have a go.

 

I think that the cross stich and buttons look lovely together.
