Lace love


fabric and lace pouch by AppleApricot


Hello dear blogfriends,

It's Tuesday again, so today is City Crafter day!

Ros is hosting this week. She has a colour challenge for us.
I so much wanted to do some needlework, so I made a little giftbag.

With some of the yummie laces Ros gave me.
And some other laces, ribbon and seambinding I had in my stash.

I got three huge bags full with fabrics - both leftovers and new - from a sweet grandma of very good friends of mine. There was also a dress which she once started but never finished. The grey fabric comes from this dress. There's also a little pocket on the back of the bag, but I haven't made a photo of it.

Elma is our guest designer this week. We love to have you with us Elma!

More bookmarks

A while ago I did a swap with Sanne and made her bookmarks.

One of my bookmarks I already showed in a previous post (a lace and fabric shabby French one). I thought I share the other ones with you today as well, because they kind of fit in the colour challenge. Well, two of them.

Painted and stamped background on thin cardboard.
Sanne is a music lover, so I gave it some musical extras.

And a digitally made bookmark.
If you'd like you can print it to use for yourself too.

Oh how much I love the look and colour of this dress...

Hope you're having a sweet day filled with love.
And time for your arts and crafts.

  11. Het is één en al genot om hier bij jou langs te komen Wen! Je zou toch zó met zo'n prachtige kanten pouch de straat op gaan? Moet je als echt meisje natuurlijk nog wel de juiste dress bij zoeken dan, maar dan loop je er wel even toppie bij zeg! Heel mooi gedaan met die kleurencombi en prachtige kanten bloem, ziet er waanzinnig mooi uit! En wat een supergave bookmarks heb je gemaakt, zowel de 'echte' als je digitale, jij bent toch ook van alle markten thuis hè? Geniet van je avond, ws met de verwarming aan? Lieve groetjes, Ira
