Kelly very kindly sent me one of her gorgeous corsages for Christmas; and my lovely neighbour Sam gave me the other glittery flower you see in the photo. The third is a just finished Florence Hope as well, I like to display things in odd numbers!
The back is just as scrumptious as the front!
I made a lavender filled heart for Sam this morning. It didn't quite turn out as I had hoped - forgetting seam allowance didn't help, then my new glass buttons were a bit on the small side......but she seemed delighted with the results.
I'd love all of those. All really lovely and the heart is very pretty too.
ReplyDeleteWow! Gorgeous corsages. I never leave home without one. I love the stitching on the Florence Hope brooch.
ReplyDeletegood morning gigibird! how lovely to see you feature the corsage i made...i'm so thrilled that you like it.
ReplyDeleteyour fh one is totally scrumptious by the way!! well done with the lavender heart...it's v sweet. oh + i'm glad i'm not the only one who has "forgotten seam allowance" moments! x
have a great sunday :)
Hello Alison, you keep changing your profile picture just to confuse me! Glad you like my tio of corsages - don't tell anyone but Harry got hold of the Florence Hope and had it in his mouth until I swapped it for a biscuit! and I was going to put it on Etsy!
ReplyDeleteKelly - if I ever do another heart I think I shall just have a raw edge, and getting the lavender in, well obviously a technique involved there....do you use a funnel? There is more on the floor than inside the heart!
Nonnie, I 'm pleased you like all my bits; how were the baked beans??
I use a tea spoon to get the lavender into the heart, It works pretty well. Using a funnel didn't realy work for me. If you fill them over a tray you don't spill as much.
ReplyDeletewhy didn't I think of that?
ReplyDeleteThank you!
