Well not really just that great minds must think alike we have both in the last week done designs with bicycles,
Gail a traditional bike with flowers and me a penny farthing with flowers. Must be the onset of Spring makes me think of cool Parisienne streets, bicycles and flowers. Struggled whether to make into a bag or pillow but decided on the former, love the pink and white spots with the muted marbled green, will fit a 12" x 12" pad, ideal for a gazebo in the garden in the long sultry summer days.
Carrying on from my theme of the Fleur de Lis earrings now lace Angels of Light perfect as a gift to let someone know you are thinking of them during a tough time in their lives, because angels have so many different meanings for each person or the Teacher Angel as a special end of term gift for the help given throughout the school year. A special Angel for New Borns. These are Sonia Showalter designs.
I am also very honoured to have an interview published with Wendy from 1st Unique Gifts on her new project

ReplyDeleteLovely makes Caroline - angels are gorgeous. Hope you have a good week.
ReplyDeleteThe cushion is beautiful, the colours and image are most definitely perfect for spring. The angels are also a lovely idea and a gift that would mean so much! Well done on your interview, you have some great tips and I'm very jealous that you have 3 different craft spaces!

How lovely is that penny farthing? Will you be doing a more masculine version too? I can just see this on men's gifts and would've been a great gift for my dad, a very keen cyclist! x
ReplyDeleteThe angels are just gorgeous and so different. Your interview was really good! Mich x
