Edwardian lace, petals and daisies

Continuing the wedding theme a few more samples which have also been added to The Wedding Boutique on my website.

Edwardian Silk Lace Clutch Bag

So pretty, love this design and the shell pink silk dupion

Lace Petal Necklace

Free standing lace design with petals with Swarovski centres and leaf, all tied with organza ribbons

Lace Daisy Necklace

Free standing lace design with a daisy and leaves, all tied with organza ribbons

All components of these designs have been stitched by my embroidery machine and the flowers hand stitched onto the lace.

Well Autumn is here the leaves are falling at a rate of knots but been to wet to go and clear them from the lawn, a perfect job for my DH when we get a dry day. 

Have a wonderful week, for me only 20 days until the wedding fair and have a list as long as my arm to make.

Easter Parade

Happy Easter to my wonderful readers, hope by this time you have had your fair share of Easter eggs and not overdone the chocolate consumption. 

What a week weather wise beautiful sunshine, blue skies and hot to the point of not needing a coat to very cold, windy and wet not to mention parts of the UK that had up to 6" of snow! The term "Ne'er cast a clout till May be out" was about right this week, as I can testify hopping in the car to the playing fields then freezing to death whilst the dog flew around like a thing possessed. Still good excuse for a hot chocolate and marshmallows not forgetting the whipped cream, delicious and decadent but perfect and warmed me up a treat.

Do not know what I have done this week seem to have been on the go non-stop but not much in the sewing stakes to show so here goes with my meagre offerings:

The Rose Swan Wedding Collection

Started last week with the ring pillow finished the small frame bag, off course does not have to be for a wedding could be for a special evening out, prom or just because. The 'Just Because' is a wonderful way to buy when an item just speaks to you and just because you can.

Garter this not only holds a small blue bow but also hidden inside the message silver on white satin ribbon: Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue perfect for any brides day and all in 100% white silk dupion. Decorated with a rose and small feather design.

Have not added lace to these items as felt not everyone wants lace but watch this space....

Return of the Pinafore

I love pinafores and think for little girls can be worn with or without a t-shirt. These embroidery borders again spoke to me along with the fabric, this one is of ballet shoes.

Not one to waste fabric had to get the most out of each metre a frame bag with 3D Vintage style rose and tissue holders edged with vintage guipure lace trim..

wishing you all a happy creative week and see you all next week for anther Handmade Monday.
