Not feeling great today - Ive come down with some sneezy virus - uck!
Anyway I can still sew - its nice snuggling up on the sofa with the quilt
And talking of the quilt - I would like to invite you into my fantasy world and start introducing the characters that live there
The little girl is Flower Girl "where she goes, flowers grow" so there will be lots of flowers around her soon
For those of you old enough to remember the old Cadburys roses advert and the slogan "ooo roses grow on you" - thats where I got the idea as it was always on TV when I was a child!
Flower girl is kind, beautiful and clever, she brings joy to whoever she meets and leaves flowers as a sign of her happiness
She has a trusted friend and sidekick called Mr Fox - more about him later
The marmalade cat is based on the many ferral cats that lived in the woods near my childhood home - he is their spokescat - the cats are keepers of secrets, they hide and evesdrop and are flower girls informers
Some of the ferral cats work for the bony drama queen , flower girls arch enemy and are not to be trusted
The latest characters Im stitching are The 3 Busty Bopas (Bopa is the Welsh word for a special auntie)
These are 3 mature fairies who work with the fairy godmother to protect Flower Girl from the bony drama queen
They each have a magical creature as a pet
Blodwyn has a bluebird
Myfanwy has a merbird ( it looks a bit like a seal with wings)
Gwyneira has a (well Im not quite sure yet!)
OK Im off to stitch - hope to show you the completed bopas tomorrow
