It's
been another busy week and electronic gadgets have turned against even more
than usual! Thankfully it amuses the hubby but he’s got to get fed up of the
constant cry for help at some point? (Update- this post actually went ga-ga
after first posting. My apologies, as I said computers are not my thing. I hope
I’ve rectified it now.)
I
have had a few orders to make this week and I have, also, started things but
not had the time to finish them yet. An important example is the Easter Wreath
for my Mum, thankfully she’s not expecting so I've given myself until Friday to
finish and if I get it done beforehand it's a bonus (but looking unlikely).
I
have made booties for a baby boy this time. He’s a bit older at 9 months so
they had to be bigger. I didn't have the same frustrations of last time- thank
goodness. Mistakes are there to teach us and I learnt that lesson ;-)
I
have been making different brooches including a specially commissioned,
crocheted one to go with a wedding outfit. Fingers crossed it meets the mark.
As usual I forgot to take a finished photo but here’s a pic of the flowers
before they were sewn together and black beads and diamantes were sewn in the
centres.
I’ve
been making different felt and material flowers such as these….
It
occurred to me I could use the off-cuts for the baby boy booties to make a
flower. The two fabrics fused together make it an ideal stiffness for the
flower. I was quite pleased with the results and think it will look nice on a
navy blazer for the Springtime, if the Spring weather ever arrives?
I
will feature a tutorial to make your own flower brooch in a future post very
soon.
Remember to Craft in Earnest!
