Pretty in Pink

Here is a close up of the purple/lilac little violets that I made to place onto the latest small velvet bag. I really enjoy working with velvet fabric - - as well as forming roses or any other flower made from the softness of velvet, but sometimes making flowers with ribbons can be tricky, it tends to slip, slide and have a will of it's own, however, I always find great pleasure and relaxation by making the pretty little immitations.

Here she is, in all her pink glory.

A moth in the flower pot

I've always liked Butterflies and especially Dragonflies, and now I've also added moths to my collection of "I like I like", so the other day I decided to sew a velvet moth, with a little bitty embroidery on each wing.

The rest of the handmade colourful moths are sitting up against the wall in my little studio.

Have I ever mentioned the name of my studio?

It's called LIBELLE, the French version for DRAGONFLY.

HAPPY EASTER

Wishing you all a very happy Easter week end, try not to indulge in too many chocolate bunnies!!
