I found the sweetest embriodered cloth at the boot sale a few weeks ago and snaffled it up for pennies!
When I got it home and gently hand washed it I found it was a bit ravaged right in the middle, so I took the scissors to it. I salvaged three of the four corners and turned them into little stuffed lavender hearts.
I think these will hang next to my bed to see me off into dreamland.
I love making stuff from otherwise useless stuff ~ many a mortal would have chucked that cloth, that makes me smile.
This last week or so I have been making buttony stuff as I took part in Lemonade Kitty's Button Swap.
I really enjoyed making for this one as I love buttons. I was paired with a lovely lady Maria of Dinky Dots . This was Maria's first ever Blog swap and she was a bit unsure as to do so we agreed I would make and post my stuff off first to give her an idea of the sort of things we send to each other.
I really enjoyed making for Maria as our tastes differ, it is good to come out of your comfort zone sometimes. The hardest thing about this swap was giving away a bag of chocolate buttons ;0)
Maria has blogged about it here, pop over and have a look she makes some fab stuff.
Yesterday I got a lovely gift from a kind lady who follows my blog, Chrissie aka Ziggy2407.
Isn't it adorable, and it's just the perfect length for me too. I was wearing this all day yesterday and whilst eating my dinner a garden pea escaped my fork skimmed the boobage and popped right into this cage. I spent a good few minutes shaking it out :)
Thanks very much lovely lady x
p.s. Still planning my giveaway ~ will be back with it soon.
