hair accessories
Fabric flowers
New to my shop are these hair accessories:
Red spots with blue fabric button.
Blue polkadot with wool felt and cute mushroom button.
All are attached to metal barrettes and available in my Etsy shop now.
Flower inspirations
Perhaps it is the time of year and the lack of blooms that make flowers so attractive to me at the moment. Or perhaps it’s the perusal of wonderful Rachel Ashwell books featuring marvellous roses, even reading of Tonya Todman’s heritage rose farm is terribly exciting!
The other thing I’ve been delving into is my silk supply and silk paints. I’m working on fashioning blooms and these ones have been used for hair accessories for my long haired girls. I’m pleased with the results but now need to work on presenting the flowers in a more tidy fashion ie. the backs don’t look nearly as nice as the fronts! I do so like the hand painted ones.
What do you think?
Too busy to blog
I’ve wanted to make some hair accessories for the girls for ages and now that all 3 of them have long hair I had run out of excuses!
I’ve also completed and sent my cushion for Vic’s swap, but as the recipient may not have her parcel yet I’d best not reveal. Now, for today I hope to make some more hair accessories and work on my sister’s birthday present before I run out of time.
Have a great weekend š
Some clips for the shop
I made these ones yesterday, I’ll see how they go in the shop. Its lovely to work on something that is completely hand sewn, so I can rest on the bed and make something at the same time.
Just over 2 weeks to go, I had a baby dream lastnight, the baby was a boy. Another dream I had last week the baby was a girl. So we’re still guessing…….
The persuit of cute
It took me a few days of contemplation to figure out what to do with the silver clips I bought from Charlotte . I already had the beautiful wool felt, just needed some imagination.
