The new colour for this month is BLUE so I’ve been playing with my blue scraps this past week. I haven’t managed to sew much but I have caught up with my Building Houses and have finished the neutral and yellow ones I started last week and also made my blue one for this month. So at least I’m caught up with one project… my Rainbow Scrappy Building Houses :O)
Anyway here they are: First up my new blue one
and my completed Neutral and Yellow ones:
And here they are altogether so far:
Also, I have a charity shop find to show you. As it happens it too is blue :)
A plate from The Spode Blue Room Collection “Georgian Series” called Floral. This is a reproduction but this design was first introduced in c1830. I love Blue Spode!! So when I saw it I knew it just had to come home with me :) At £6 I thought it was a steal.
Finally, I just have to show you a cute picture of Mila. The bunny which DD found in a cardboard shop outside the shop where she works, just before Christmas. DD keeps her in her room and she is her bunny.
She looks like butter wouldn’t melt in her little mouf but she’s a wee rascal. She has just discovered that she can jump onto DDs bed, even though she is tiny. She may have been abandoned but she certainly landed on her feet when DD found her and brought her home.
If you’d like to see what everyone else has done for their first Blue Saturday go to Soscrappy’s blog here
Have a good weekend,
Happy Stitching!

Mila is really cute!! I love your scrappy houses!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun collection of goodies you've shared today! The little scrappy houses look wonderful together - the colors really pop. And I love blue & white china - have a small collection myself. Great find! And Mia is adorable - lucky bunny! Thanks for the smiles!
ReplyDeletewhat a cute bunny - I thought you were showing a porcelain rabbit at first then continued reading and saw it was real.

Your houses are looking wonderful! Your plate find is very pretty, too.
ReplyDeleteThose scrappy houses are so cute. and Mila is too.
ReplyDeleteSeeing your houses all together is just too cute. Glad you are having fun with blue.
ReplyDeleteWe will have fun with blue this month. I love your yellow house and the dot fabric you used. The bunny is so sweet.
ReplyDeleteYour little houses are darling, Elly. They will make a wonderful quilt. Can't wait to see how you set them.
ReplyDeleteScore big time on the Spode. Congrats on the lucky find.
Love Mila... she is just too cute.
Those house blocks are so cute! (I dropped in from the Rainbow Scraps Challenge again)
ReplyDeleteYour little houses look great together, LOVE the Spode plate!
ReplyDeleteOh my Elly! How I love your colorful little houses! Your beautiful plate. Sweet cute bunny. Your happy post makes me smile this morning.
ReplyDeleteI love house blocks and yours are adorable. I also collect plates and was lucky enough to find a great deal at "Tuesday Morning" on some pink Spode plates. Even my husband loves to use them.
ReplyDeleteYou are building an amazing neighbourhood... lovely new houses!
ReplyDeleteYour little houses are so cute Elly and Mila is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI too love Spode Blue--or just about any blue in dishes. Over the last 10 years I've built up a lovely supply--mostly from T J Maxx (which is called T J something else in Great Britain). I think the most I've had to pay for a reproduction plate is around $6 US--don't know how that compares with EU or a pound.
ReplyDeleteJust makes me happy to be able to eat off beautiful dishes!
