The Winners gift

following on from my 'giveaway' this week here are the two Jacobean initial sachets,  winging there way across the UK and over the 'Pond' to the USA:

J for Jan from Picto



and

S for Shannon fron Shabby Shan's Cottage


Enjoy ladies


Wow Thank You


My first order from Wow Thank you for 2 of the embroidered Mother's Day cards, embroidery done just waiting for the card blank delivery which should have been today!


Child's Prayer Cushion Cover


Had an idea originally wanted to make a picture and frame then thought no what about a cushion, done in lemon mottled for the backing and sides and white on white leaf sprig design fabric for the centre panel and corner squares. Happy with how it turned out, could be done in say a pink or blue or any colour to match the nursery decor.



Another Oriental inspired evening bag this time in cerise butterfly print satin and burgundy velvet panel with embroidered butterfly.



Had a request from my BFF for a Mother door pillow, her Mum is a very brave and special lady.


Had to test out my new packaging,


I love to receive beautifully wrapped orders through the post, think it shows the sender cares. Did pinch this idea from Liz Earle and Fig Leaves, nothing better than to receive a package, open and see what lies inside. The labels I designed and printed myself and just love the spotted ribbon and think goes well with the tissue paper which next time may have to be silver sprinkles as the spot as usual has now been discontinued, just typical.
