Nan is just too cute and perfect for what ails us... and love the scarf. Been thinking of making one myself eventually - interesting fabrics... and love the flower - so textural. And the skirt too... you have been very busy!
Cheers - Shari

I'm on a blogging break but just having a little sneaky browse and happened to follow the Johnny Depp links which has conjured up all sorts of thoughts... how naughty... how lovely! Nan is fabulous.

Love the colours on the scarves, really nice to do sewing with friends and such a sweet nurse, i would not mind getting swine flu if she was administering the shots.
What a productive day, thanks for sharing

Apryl said...

I adore the scarf! *want want want* I have such a huge thing for words, books, paintings on book, fabric with words on (most of which I cannot afford *is poor and saving up for some Aunty Cookie fabric*)

Nan is adorable and I could have used her help this last week as the Boy has had the flu, its undecided if it was pork flu or not.

and the cushion covers are lovely too!

monica said...

that is one gorgeous scarf.

Seriously.

busy lizzie said...

Aw I love Nan, she is so adorable!

Cindy said...

I so love the scarf, though a small part of me is disappointed at no selvedge, but I guess all good realtionships need a greak ever now and then.
Nan is just lovely too, her cape - divine

Nan is adorable. Her uniform reminds me of the one my Mum used to wear in the 1970's! Love all your latest projects - the scarf looks very funky.

Sarah said...

I love that scarf! Especially the eye chart design (and the Johnny Depp one's goregeous too!)

ladydi said...

You and your eye charts! LOL. I love the cushion covers, and Nan is adorable - did you make her bag, too?? Your accessories are the best. That bag might rival the bunny slippers. :>}

Pixie said...

well, much as I hate to be just like 40 other people, I must say I don't visit for a few days and you make 3 posts with the bestest nursey, great skirts I'd like in my wardrobe, and the most fantastic scarf I have ever seen on the internets. really. love wordy fabric, never thought of that. genius. thanks for the inspiration.

Marina said...

That little nurse is just adorable. I think several softie sickies are definitely in order!

MUS said...

I love (with big L) your Nan. super.

Tui said...

Spooky. I have been planning a scarf eerily similar to yours using fabric from the greenolive textiles "bits & pieces pack" I bought at the stitches and crafts show. But as usual, I'm stuck at the planning stage. It's wildly impressive how much you get finished. And all so good! PS: I love that eye chart fabric you've used. Where did you get it?
