When little I remember sitting under this tree and colouring in my much loved flower fairies book! I'm going to embroider this image onto a vintage child's nightgown #flowerfairies #colouring #hawthorn #childhood #memories #childrenandtrees
Plan to embroider this hawthorn tree onto the upper part of this child's nightgown. This tree is near my childhood home and I visited recently to photograph it, and made this tracing last night #hawthorn #childhood #vintagenightgown #textiles #handembroidery #selfportrait
Look I made a dress! It's for my good friends wedding celebration party at the end of May, I'm a proud Fairy Godmother to their son. 'girl made good' is a label I sew into all my handmade clothes, a nod to my stitchy and brave girl self - well done little Karen #handsewing #handembroidery #homemadedress #demin
I'm a solitary commuter this morning. Sitting here listening to bird song in the trees, spring is here! #spring #birdsong #woodstreetstation #london
My favorite, Hawthorn. Lichen tells us the air is clean and this tree hosts a number of varieties #hawthorn #lichen #airquality #e11 #wansteadflats #spring #breadandcheesetree
Empty flats. Birds are rioting in the trees, multi layered soundtrack #wansteadflats #spring #birdsong #e11
Watch out for the spines! Blackthorn, flower before leaf, Hawthorn (my favourite) leaf before flower. Clever plants #blackthornblossom #e11 #wansteadflats
