WOYWW - dainty dumflings

Good morning all - happy Wednesday!
Another week has flown by and here we are again, checking out each other's work desks.
Join in if you dare show us yours - follow this link to Julia's Stamping Ground and see what we are all up to!

My table is covered with dumfing goodies today.
Maxine made some pretty pink dumflings and mounted them on cards - perfect as a little wedding/engagement/thank you notelets. You can see them in detail on her blog - Tilly Tea Dance.
I think she is joining is WOYWW today.

The bags of wool rovings are to share with Annie - lots more scrummy colours from Sara to use in our needle felting. You can also see a piece of wet felted wool that I made over the weekend - waiting for a fun day Monday dumfing day. If you want to see what we have been dumfing this week - pop over to our blog shop -Sisters Crafty Creations - the needle felted pictures look so gorgeous and colourful.

This Monday I cut out 3 little broiderie anglaise pinnies for the little flower girls to wear at the wedding reception.

I think they will look pretty and keep their little frocks clean - at least for a while!!

The 3 little waistcoats that I made a few weeks ago went down very well.


I think I have started a trend - I now have 2 more to do for October.
One little boy loved his so much he wore it all the next day and even had it on over his pyjamas!

That's it for this week.
Enjoy your snoop and thanks for visiting - leave me a comment if you have time - I love to hear from you all.

oh those waistcoats are the BEST, only the broiderie anglaise (odd how we use the french term!) pinnies are also very gorgeous.

I have been dry needle felting the animals out of 'mollie makes' and they have a little bear one this month, tis you guys that reminded me not to neglect that particular craft,

As I said to JoZart you two and her should publish....
hmm might get my boy to do a craftzine for us???

take care,

Wow Jo, been waiting to see those gorgeous little pinnies - adorable. And the waistcoats are so cute, laughed about the little chap wearing it over his PJs :)

Happy WOYWW, hugs, Di xx #59

Doone's right, it is odd that we use French to say English embroidery! But I digress. Of course those waistcoats are popular; they're fabulous. And I love the thought of the little boy in his pjs and waistcoat. Watch the catwalks, we'll all be wearing that soon!

happy woywww, rachel #11

Oh how cute are the little dresses. They look so much nicer than the jeans and tops I see in the shops! Little girls should wear dresses - my opinion of course.

Love the pinnies and waistcoats, lovely about the little lad and his pj's. Like your waiting piece of felt too, lovely colours. Doone is right - you should publish, you are soooo clever! Happy WOYWW, Anne x #54

I love the fact that the little lad didn't want to take his waistcoat off! Neither would I, they're so beautifully made! You must have a lot of patience to do those teeny little buttonholes!!

Jo, those little aprons are so sweet, the little ones are going to love them. I can see why the waistcoats went down a storm too!

The wool you’re brought there looks very colourful, I especially love the shades of Blue….it reminds me of the sunny clears Blue sky’s we’re NOT getting at the moment.

Happy Crafting!

Those little pinnies are gorgeous as are the waistcoats. I do miss making cute clothes for my children. There are so many lovely patterns around now.

Aw! Super cute pinnieons there (old family name for them). When I was little my mum used to say "go and put your pinnieon" so I thought they were called pinnieons. Hence the name stuck! I still wear them regularly now!
Those waistcoats are stunning. I always think boys and men look smart with waistcoats on!
Well done Honey for making everyone look smart (and clean)!

Angie said...
