These are the ribbons all set to go back in the drawer, now that they are colour sorted into their chopped-off sweetie jars.
The lilac/white wedding horseshoe, in yesterday's pic, is now finished and ready to go in the blog shop later. It sort of created itself really. I dumfed yarns on felt. Then I added a hand embroidered motif from my up-cycled tablecloth and some more hand stitching and beads. I think the end result is certainly different!
I popped to see Wipso and trim yet another pair of curtains ready for her to finish. She loved the horseshoe and also the gorgeous yarns that I took to share with her.
One yarn in particular caught her eye - a lovely, raggy, bright pink one. She had a go at dumfing it and it looked good, so I guess you will see it on one of her fab dumfy pics sooner or later.
I picked up a really fluffy wool called Patons Softy, in creamy browns.
It just said " a certain bird" to me so I dumfed a bit onto a tiny scrap of black felt.
Here it is.....
Well, I am sure it will become a little card or picture and maybe I will make a bigger one.
Its funny, I never knew I could do any of this. Doesn't it make you wonder -just what is in this little old brain of mine?
Thanks for all your lovely comments. Its good to be surrounded by folk whose cup is always half full. Have a great Bank Holiday weekend!

A mixed bag!
Well, four drawers are tidied now after yesterday's purge!
Love the owl. What an inspired idea.
ReplyDeleteohhhh I wish your ribbon pic was click-on-able - I'd love a closer look!
ReplyDeleteAs for the owl, well he's just soooo adorable!
I'm certain there is lots we are capable of doing that we haven't had a go at yet and I'm pretty sure we will have fun finding out. Here's to many happy times together exploring all the new possibilities :-)
