WOYWW - dumflings and a mistake!

Just a splash of colour to cheer a wintry morning - we have snow on our hills!!
So, what can you see today then?

A few gorgeous yarns that I may use for dumfing or crazy felt later.

Eight of my latest brooches with a little dumfling, silk, beads and embroidery. I think I will choose a few for the blog shop and refill the gift shelf. One of Wipso's customers saw the real brooches and bought 3 last week!!!

To the right is a deconstructed fabric rose. ( ie I pulled it apart!!) I have ironed the petals and thought I might combine it with a dumfling and some embroidery to make a brooch/corsage. We are still planning our wedding shelf and have lots of ideas whizzing round. Join in if you have any great ideas to share with us - just pop over to our Bridal Challenge - we will be giving our little gifts to the best ideas soon!
And.....
At the top of my picture you can see some pretty shell pendants that I bought online from a bead company. Unfortunately I didn't look at the measurements - I just imagined they would be smaller and thought they might be nice additions to my brooches. Ha! The flippin things are about 2 inches across ( well they would be - they are pendants - I hear you say!!) They were really cheap so I am not bothered but I hope you like them Wipso - cos I bought a set for you too!!!
Time for me to head off to Julia's blog and play with Mr Linky. Come with me and have a look at all the fab things other folk have been up to...... WOYWW

Is it a card or a brooch? - WOYWW

Well, I dumfed away with my embellisher and a bag of sari silk waste last week and created these tiny dumflings (another new word Wipso!!) I intended them to be a sort of card topper and I was just going to glue them to a decorated card. Then, as often happens - when I am wide awake at 4 in the morning - I had this brainwave of adding beads and some hand stitching and a little brooch back, thus turning them into rather unusual little brooches.

Then I found some white cards embossed with a curly design and just pinned each brooch onto the centre square. I think I shall pop each one in a tiny jiffy bag and then they will be ready to go onto the shelf in our new blog shop!

If you want to see all the gorgeous goodies that Wipso has been making, then follow the link on the right and head over to Sisters Crafty Creations. We had lots of fun setting it up on Fun Day Monday and just have a few more shelves to fill. We are planning a celebration "Give-away" once we have it all sorted, so do keep popping back to check us out.

Well, she is named Wipso for more reasons than you know - so before she cracks that whip and starts asking where all my little dumflings are - I had better get them sorted out ready for the shelf she has dusted ready!!

Have a great week - and all you lovely card makers out there - do let me know what you think about dumfling brooches on cards.
