Portsmouth

We went to Portsmouth on Saturday and saw so many ships. Thanks so much to Andrew and Rachel for putting us at the Royal Maritime Hotel and to Portsmouth Dockyard for all the fabulous patterns - especially the dazzle Monitor boat.

Light

Now it's getting dark I'm seeing great lights and colours everywhere. I'm really enjoying putting these together with some of my fabric collection and making new pattern ideas.

Tyntesfield

Went to Tyntesfield in Somerset yesterday to research more of my secret life of patterns. These were some of the amazing things I saw. 

Many thanks to Ruth Moppet for letting me wander about. 

The accumulation of pattern was quite overwhelming and totally inspiring.
