I finished this collage at Make Do & Mend a collaboration with Hannah we both chose some images we liked, and I then interspersed them with snippets of my patterns, and instruction pages from old sewing books, and stuck onto the silhouette of a sewing machine shape (many thanks to Joe for drawing it! Can't believe it was done freehand!!). Am really pleased with it - will upload some better pictures soon, to see it in the flesh please pop down to the shop!
I joined pinterest! Oh dear, hours of pinning on the internet, good job I'm on maternity leave!! Although I have to say it is so useful having all my bits of inspiration in one place, there are so many amazing images to find online already I've found using it really inspiring and valuble.

Looked at my sister Alie's first blog post - it's lovely. To take a peek and follow her journey as an aspiring florist come pattern/retro/cat lover please visit here: http://alieblackman.blogspot.com/
