Another week gone and am now convinced that the days have less hours in, either that or I am getting slow in my old age. Been a busy week not so much from the crafting front but making up flat packed furniture with DH offering to help!! that was when the problem started he used brute force to knock in a panel pin in the back and it went through the top of the book case, at least too tall for me to see the top but he can see it so he may remember next time leave well alone!! and let me get on with it on my now, just typical.
Anyway back to the bookcase, so pleased with it problem I now have space for more books so Amazon watch out, my wish list has already grown expedentially and needs to be emptied into the shopping cart. Still not finished the big declutter but will get there wanted a break to make a cushion cover for a relatives birthday in April, I know early but love to be organised on the gift and card front. I hope she likes it made in silk fabric, colours of creams and beige with embroidery of a sewing theme.
Fleur de Lis Earrings
Have found the most delightful machine embroidery site of designs that are amazing and these caught my eye. I love lace and the fleur de lis design so what better than to follow the suggestion of earrings, hanging on a silver ear wire with a crystal added for some sparkle. Sonia Showalter Designs is a positive heaven for machine embroidery enthusiast and cannot wait to try some of her other designs.
Another card for the family Birthday's this year, up to May already and doing good.

It's always good to have your brain full of ideas - fingers crossed you get enough time to carry them out before they get lost!!
ReplyDeleteCan't have your brain hurting.....pass the machine over to me! haha.
ReplyDeleteLovely makes.
Caroline, the embroidery is beautiful, the cushion is lovely.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby uses the brute force method too, it doesn't often work either, whenever I ask him to do any diy he says "It might not look pretty but it won't fall down"
Have a great week

ReplyDeleteSOme lovely makes again Caroline. It looks like you are enjoying your new machine!

It is no good, I am going to have to stake out your house so I can pop in and have a go on your machine. The quality of your work is so fine especially when teamed with your great ideas... quite inspirational :)
ReplyDeleteHi!! Wow I love the cushion and the cards, but the earring are just adorable. I can see these being a big hit:) I have a few books on my wish list too. I am still of fan of real live books you can hold in your hands:)
ReplyDeleteHave a pretty week and happy creating. Take Care (()) Gail
Lovely makes Caroline, especially the earrings which are very pretty. I know what you mean about flat-packs and husbands - the two are a lethal combination. Hope you have a good week.
ReplyDeleteThe cushion and card are lovely! Was laughing about the story of your husband's brute force with the bookcase lol Mich x
ReplyDeleteThat cushion is stunning!I love it.
ReplyDeleteOh wow the cushion is beautiful, I love it.
ReplyDeleteKnow what you mean when you say your brains full of ideas, I'm the same, I have to have a note or sketch book with me and am constantly drawing little sketches or even just jot down ideas, just to make room for more ideas. It also helps me to remember what I thought up when I come to craft, because my memory is so bad. lol
Hugs Sue x
Love the pillow and those earrings! You have been busy.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week.
The card is amazing! But there is something about the bird on the cushion that has my heart set on an 'I want' trend :)
ReplyDeleteLove those earrings, Caroline. I can envision a whole line of jewelry in your future!
ReplyDeleteKeep those ideas in a notebook, I hate when I know I've forgotten one.
Hugs,

oh, i love the sewing themed cushion! but the embroidered letters "DAWN" put me in awe! what a beautiful font!
ReplyDeletenow, i am really jealous of your fab embroidery machine! :)
You are such an inspiration. I have been looking at embroidery sewing machines for a very long time now, there is a part of me that really wants to buy one and another part of me that doesn't know if I would use it that much. I'm going to check out your archives and see what you have made. I'm sure that the possibilities are endless . . . I just need some ideas.
