YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

At last, at long last I have finished those dresses, Carina took them away literally ten minutes ago.
Now I so do not want to go to the wedding cause I know I'll just sit & pick at my work all day, I'll be miserable, sounds dreadful.....but I just know I will.
Oh Lord give me a peaceful mind that day so I can be Happy & enjoy the whole wonderful event just like a normal person.
Is anyone else like that out there...........................??????????????????

Anyhoo I've finished yet another cushion, good grief can this woman make anything else?????
Seriously these were such a welcome & simple distraction from coral colored dresses, so please help me out here & indulge me while I show you the latest offering........pics are dreadful......bad light & all that :(



Did a white back, followed the lovely bobble pattern then changed to shells to square it, I love the bobbles, don't think I've finished with these.


A row of bobbles close to the edge & buttons to finish the opening


I added a wee flap inside to finish the opening nicely, so the cushion pad isn't showing & to sew the buttons onto, def looks better. I think I'll be putting this in the shop, have to decide on price etc & take some pics in better light so  you can get a better image of the colors.

Also at our church thrift shop I picked up a few nice bits

Ain't she pretty, got two of them for E3 each, one with & one without a lampshade, not that its a keeper 
So after a lick of Annie Sloan paint & a new shade for E6 here she is.....one of them anyway


Got this pretty lil clock also, now it was a yuk brown but a touch of paint & viola


The mechanics are shot but I like it for its prettiness, who cares about the time anyway!!!!!!!!!!!
So that's me for another evening, I'm shattered tired & am so longing for this weekend, feet up, nice food, friends & family & maybe some handsewing....I'm thinking hexagons :)

Hope you all have the best weekend, thank you for popping in & for your sweet comments
Lots of love Karen

ps Thank you Sue for the award, will post it in the next few days xxxxx

  2. I have stop doing weddings for the exact reason. I pick it apart and want to hide sometimes. Right now I am altering a bridesmaid dress(should have said no)! Can you believe the gal just wants it hemmed about here. Doesn't have a clue as to what shoes she is buying. Does she think the dress will miraculously be the correct length?

    Love, love the new cushion!!!!

  8. I had to smile at the fugly clock you prettied up....I have the original on my mantelpiece at the moment (and it works lol) it came from the local 'cheap and nasty' high st jewellers. I like to buy brown furniture and paint it too, it is so satisfying.
    I love your cushions and I too like the colours of that particular yarn, tho I have to online order it so it is a case of hope for the best when choosing colours.
    Also look forward to 'metime' crochet when the 'gift crochet' deadlines are done.
