Winter 2012 Collection - Double Flower

My Double Flower Hairclips come in four pretty colours Pistachio  Cornflower Blue, Baby Pink and Raspberry and are mounted on strong hair pins.  The Double Flower measures about 5cm (2") across and are finished with delicate hand stitching and a small gorgeous button.  As with all my collection, each item is handmade and therefore each one is slightly different and unique.
I sell these for £3.

Winter 2012 Collection - Rose Flower Corsages

My Rose Flower Corsages look stunning pinned onto a matching or contrasting outfit, denim jacket, coat, scarf or bag.  The petals can be tugged and pulled to create your desired shape.  As each corsage is made by hand, each one is slightly different and unique but they measure about 9cm (3.5") across.   I sell these for £5.

My little  sweetie Miss E being my model...obviously bribed to stand still with some real sweeties!!

Miss E couldn't resist doing Incy Wincy Spider....why wouldn't you?!

The colours of the sweetie hair bobbles aren't the clearest so I've added this photos which captures the true colours; starting from the flower shape on the left and going clockwise we have cornflower, white, pistachio, raspberry, charcoal and baby pink.

Winter 2012 Collection - Let's hang out the bunting

OK I know November isn't exactly the time you think about hanging bunting outside but it's a dry day and the lighting is so much better for taking photos than inside and it certainly brightens up Miss M and Miss E's garden house / shop / cafe.

The bunting is part of my Winter 2012 Collection and combines lovely natural rustic hessian with soft felt and gentle patterned fabrics mounted on garden twine.  The flags can move along the twine so you can adjust the spacing to suit your needs.  The bunting is the perfect length for a single bed or a mantle piece.



 It comes in romantic rosey pinks as well.


Bunting and buttons

I've been adding the finishing touches to my bunting...some gorgeous buttons.  I have a lovely range of buttons; some I've bought new and specifically for a certain project, some I picked up just because they caught my eye even if I didn't really have a use for them in mind and others (generally my favourites) I've inherited from my Grandma's or Great Aunts' sewing boxes.  They tend to be the ones on little pieces of card.  I have a few sets on the original shop cards but most of them have been sewn on in little sets by my Grandma onto scraps of card.



My trusty Bonne Maman jam jars, one for each colour of buttons.
Miss M loves helping to sort the buttons out.

Keeping it natural and rustic, I've decided to mount the bunting flags on garden twine.

The flags can move along the twine so that the spacing can be adjusted but due to the hessian and twine combo they don't move about once you've chosen your position for them.

Adventures in Hessian

A metre of hessian, my steel rule and my rotary cutter and it's time for business

I decided to make little flags rather than triangles for these banners

Bluey green sets and rosey pink ones all cut out and ready to be hand sewn...happy days!

I love the contrast of textures

The blue and white fabric is remnants from my living room curtains...such fun!

The dotty fabric was picked up during a fabric hunt in the Cotwolds during the summer holidays.  Photos of the finished products to follow.

A lot of cut off and I looked like I'd been wearing hessian as the fibres go everywhere....pass the dustpan and brush!
