Starting at the end

Yesterday's mail brought me this beautifully stitched black and white lattice cushion, from Judy Foster in New Zealand (and also some Whittakers L&P mini bars, but that's a different story...)
Modern miniature scene of a black and white lattice-embroidered cushion on a black and white chevron sofa against a wall with large black and white stripes. In the right corner is a red black and white mid-century modern flowered cushion.
Judy had been inspired to stitch a range of black and white geometric cushions after I'd facebooked a link to the Typo launch of their new Hall homewares range
Facebook post pointing to Typo's homeware range launch blog post.
and had let me chose one as a thank you.

 Since I'm off work today with a dodgy tum, I decided it was high time I made a scene (can you believe it's been almost six months? I blame winter plus being sidetracked by Margell School and The tiny Times), using my new cushion as inspiration.

 I originally wanted to make a bedroom scene but realised that the chevron fabric I'd planned to use (from a scrap bag picked up from Addicted to Fabric one lunchtime many months ago) was too short. So I used it to recover one of my day beds instead. I made the red cushions from another scrap of fabric from the same bag, and the wall is an IKEA placemat I bought in March.

The light shade is a bell off a Typo alarm clock (of course) and  the rug is from my stock.

On the side table (a gift from Elvira) is a London bus from an op shop haul almost a year ago, a bead from stock, a vase made by Ann from Victorian Dollhouses, a fern (from the 2012 ACT Miniature Enthusiats Show) and three books (two made by me).

 It feels like something you'd find featured in MidCentury magazine...

    I'm sure the dodgy tum had nothing whatsoever to do with the Whittakers.
