Someone asked the other day how I found time to make all these things when I'm preparing to move my home and my whole life across the world. Simple. If I sit still and do nothing my mind gallops around the house worrying about everything that has too be done. As a lot of what is left to do cannot be done just yet it helps to focus on something else. In other words it helps me relax! This week's offering is a ring bearer's cushion I have made for a friend who is getting married very soon. I got the idea for ribbon weaving from Susan Niner Janes' book New Ideas in Ribboncraft and then chose different fabrics to make it my own. As is fashionable I up-cycled a blouse that had a wee hole in!
With the remainder of the blouse I am going to make a beautiful evening purse. Watch this space!
Rona this is completely lovely! Your friend will be over-joyed with it I'm sure. I love that it's up-cycled too! x
ReplyDeleteThanks Angie. I'm really excited about the idea I have for an evening purse with the rest of the fabric. Can't wait to get started! xx
ReplyDeleteOohh Rona, that is simply lovely, soooo gorgeous. Does the gold ribbon hold the rings in place?
ReplyDeleteThat's the idea altho I have to say the gold ribbon is a bit slippy and keeps coming undone. Will maybe need to tie double knot to be safe! Note to self - don't use metallic ribbon in future!
