This week I finally got down to making my outfit for the wedding on Saturday, kept to a tried and tested design and more so to keep it comfortable. This fabric is vintage as bought and stored in the 70's but love the blue print and felt it complimented my shoes perfectly.
This necklace was a moment waiting for DH to finish watching the cricket, have wanted a dangly style for ages so sat down and had a play.
My first attempt at a tiara, made with Swarskovski pearls and crystals, now I know what I am doing will be making some more along with some complimenting jewellery and other hair adornments.
Off to see my sister this week, she needs help with posting on ebay, also discussing ideas for the open house she is doing for me later in the year, my head is buzzing with ideas atm and want to do a lot of Christmas themes this year.
Check out the other blogs at MMP for some inspirational makes, finds and stories.
Hey Caroline! I love the outfit you made! The color and fabric is gorgeous. I wish I could sew clothing. I can quilt, sew curtains etc, but clothing always looks ridiculous when I try and make it.
ReplyDeleteThe tiara is beautiful too!
Have a wonderful week my friend!

Caroline, your outfit for the wedding look terrific. The necklace will be a nice accent. I had to laugh about the comfy shoes. I do the same thing. Have a pair of dressy shoes that are really comfy and will go out of my way to find something to match them. Have a great time at the wedding. Hope you get some pictures, so much of your handiwork will be there!

Caroline, I haven't sewed clothes persay for 20 years. I don't think mine would look anything like yours. Its really pretty.I too buy Christmas gifts all year and put them up for people. I always have. It really helps the budget. My DH didn't like it when we were first married but now he incourages it. That way in Nov and Dec, I am not using all our money. I am done with one sister and almost done with the second one. yyiipppeee
ReplyDeleteHi! Caroline.. Love the outfit..and very pretty pics! Can't belive Christmas is SO close..oh! no! Thanks for stopping by too!

Caroline, What a lovely color of blue. Everything looks perfect. I can't believe that you made the tiara too. Wow! As far as Christmas goes, I do it all year long. When I see the right thing, I buy it. So that by Thanksgiving, I'm all done. If I had to do it all at once, nothing would get done. I know myself! Hugs, Tedi
