Ring Cushion for the Wedding

I decided to make my own cushion for our wedding rings, as I wanted to carry through my wedding colours and the pattern I used on my invitations. I used Sanderson's Dandelions fabric, which I got a sample of through the post from their website.







I think it's very cute, and not at all like other ring cushions which is exactly what I was hoping for...

New Shoes?????

Crafty Apples Inspiration

Since Crafty Apples began in October I have met some lovely people, and some excellent crafters, one such crafter, Lucy, introduced me to this lovely book from Donna Wilson called; The Knitted Odd-Bod Bunch

Today I began work on one of my favourite characters from the book Mimi Mushroom ;-)

Beaded Headband

Iwanted to make something for myself for the wedding, almost everything at my wedding has been handmade, just not by myself. For my evening look, I wanted a 20's/30's style headband, and found some inspiration from this lady on Etsy... Quirky Beauty



And here are the beginnings of my 'beaded leaf' headband....
