Retro Cushions

My little retro scene of 60s and 70s was sadly lacking. Considering the humungous  amount of cushions I make every year I have never made any for this scene.

I have two fabulous chairs made by Kris Kompas that I was creating the scene around.
I bought a table, chairs and wall unit from a lady on Face Book because they resembled the G-Plan furniture my parents bought in the 70s.
I stitched the small rug and my old friend, Bob made the wooden coffee table which displays the fruit made by Bel in a turned wooden bowl I bought on the internet but it was so long ago I can't remember and I didn't keep details, I'm very cross with myself as I usually keep note.
So, this morning I made two cushions, and already the scene has livened up a bit.

Typically, I have more waiting to be made up so that's my job for today.
Happy Monday!

My New Chairs Have Arrived!

I've spent what has turned out to be a mega hot day in Granada, searching for a new sewing machine. The search was fruitless, the heat was stifling, my feet hurt and all I could think of during the twenty minute drive home was getting into the pool.
That all changed as soon as I found the post lady had left me a parcel - and I'd been waiting impatiently for this one! Two fabulous retro chairs from Kris Compas. She has a website,
www.1inchminisbykris.blogspot.com/ and sells on cdhm.org.

 I've only recently discovered Kris and her wonderful miniatures but she's already one of my favourite miniaturists, not only is she a talented maker with incredible attention to detail (see the fine piping and the buttons) but she doesn't mind sharing her 'how-tos' and tips.
I did finally cool down in the pool but not until I'd played with my new chairs! Thank you, Kris, so much!
