~ a mat

 
Hi lovelies!
i'm making a mat
{from some t-shirts i picked up at the outlet stores, & an old pillow case}

 
i cut them up into as long strips as possible

 
then rolled them into balls of yarn

 
then i stitched/crocheted 5 strands together {after realising 4 doesn't plait :)
 
 
winding it around into an oval
 
 
stitching it in place

 
crocheting a border with my finger

 
& waiting until i can find/acquire some more material to make it bigger :)

 
 
so many pretty colours for you today!!!
lovely thoughts

~ silk petals,

 
hi! {happily waving!}
i made a silk flower for you,

 
these are the templates.
the squares are for the larger & smaller petals,
& the rectangle is to form the centre bud.
 

 
simply fold {fabric right side out!}
make a straight stitch,
gather it into a circle to form the bud.
then continue with the same piece of string,
stitching around the outer edge of the folded square{now a triangle}
gathering it into a petal shape.
 
mix and match fabrics & petal sizes to your hearts desire :)
 
 
loveliness & hugs, always!!!

~ l o v e .. .








this week i plucked some sunlight from a tree, after making a ring out of my Irish rose granny square, & tying it with a soft pink ribbon.. .
i also
bought peonies for Mother's Day!!!
{& a gorgeous pink Iris i found by an abandoned building, such a lovely flower to sit in a cup on the bench & ponder about.. .the magnificent structure of the unfurling frills, the glistening rosegold petals --- have you ever noticed how they sparkle in the sunlight like glittering gold? oh peonies, oh iris of pink, you are my two favourite flowers!!!
glisten!!!
shine!!!}

sending such glorious, soft, fragrant wishes for you today dear hearts!!!
