Lem Lem Annie Sloan’s new Colour on my little Moroccan Stool

11/11/2017

Lem Lem now isn’t that a marvellous name for Annie Sloan’s brand new paint colour? Not only that but every pot of Lem Lem sold will raise funds for Oxfam and help fight poverty for good.

 

 

 


The name means ‘To Flourish’ in Amharic, the language of Ethiopia.


Lem Lem The Inspiration.

A soft, warm green, inspired by fields of alliums that Annie saw in Ethiopia, grown by women farmers who are supported by Oxfam’s Ethiopian Seed Project. This project supports women farmers, teaching them business skills and therefore giving them the tools for independence. The name means ‘To Flourish’ in Amharic, the language of Ethiopia. Annie thinks the name is perfect for this new colour because it represents hope, just like Oxfam’s seend project. I have to say I entirely agree. How about you?

More information and a video of Annie’s trip plus lots of project ideas using this lovely colour can be found on the web site

My own Lem Lem project.

You may have already seen my little wooden stool that was handmade for me in Marrakech. I decided to paint it and crochet a new cover for it, one that tones well with this pale lemon green.

I set to work and one sunny day last week, I painted 2 layers on my little stool and left it to dry outside in the garden.

Meanwhile, I set to work on my new crochet project. I used some cream linen and a gold thread and then used a double crocheted stitch to work them together.

I decided to choose a hot contrasting red and an orange for the edging. When the stool was dry I popped it on. I love it and I think the whole thing works very well! Do you approve?

Alliums.

The colour was inspired by the green of the Allium fields in Ethiopia, so I tried to make my stool look like an Allium ripe for the picking! The stool is now living in our conservatory and sits happily with all the other plants…

In actual fact, I liked the freshness of this colour so much I slapped a bit on a tin can and on some the old wooden tealight holder that I found in the garden, now as good as new both of them…

You can read about my garden table project I painted using Annie Sloan’s chalk paint back in the summer. It seems like so long ago…

Proud Muvva ! 
2nd year of his commercial photography degreeand a selection of my boy’s @jacobcramp work can be found in @pierjournal issue 2.
I think he takes timeless portraits. He only uses film and develops his own film too. I won’t mention what he thinks about digital photography ( 😳) 
He is also becoming an very good cook. He cooks for us when he visits. 
I can’t wait to see what the future brings for him.

Me, my dog, a bowl of crochet monsters, coffee brewing and chocolate digestives in the tin. Welcome to my world. I’m so rock ‘n roll it hurts!
.
Book is where the patterns for the monsters can be found, save for reference it’s a good one.

Cashmere and wool from @nomad_slt saved from landfill and made into a warm, soft and squishy top! Pattern by @papercutpatterns I’ve had it years and made lots of T-shirts.

A bowl of fossils found on the beach. Large jar of hag stones that Marc brings home for me. A collection of beautiful @penguinclassics from a house clearance sale. An old wooden panel from a skip. An Ikea lamp that is 25 years old. Bits and bobs from boot fairs. 
All this and more makes for a home with spirit and personality and a very pretty #shelfie !
