Everything but the kitchen sink....


Today I finished some more cushions, a bit of pink,
green and a lot of lace was the request.


I covered the main green checkered material of the cushion completely..
First I put linen with the letters and stitched pink lace and a velvet ribbon through
lace on top of that.
Behind the big crochet lace I put pink satin ribbon and gathered 
cotton lace on one side and two layers of lace on the outside.. and finished it of 
with ribbon through lace.
so I put everything on that pillow but the kitchen sink...



I made three cushions and one tissue box.



This is the second time to make this cushion,
but this one is made with cotton and is a bit bigger.


I found this cute romantic dress on sale,  there is no way I'll ever fit in it..
I just loved the colour and all the stitching on it.
I could just hang it somewhere in my bedroom or make a few pillows out of it.






While I was clicking away, I would like to show you 
my vintage photo frame, the details are amazing.


Some new lace I bought today in the souq.
The one on the left is the ribbon through lace,
the other one is all cotton, like crochet lace.


Did I mention I bought lots of it..


Here with a ribbon through it.






I hope you have a wonderful week.
Hugs.

  2. Dearest Angela,

    Indeed, everything but the kitchen sink... There are so many different fabrics and laces used on each item. What a job! You found yourself some beautiful lace in the souq, enough length to serve you well. That cute romantic dress with all the embroidery and crocheted entre-deux is indeed darling! You will find a use for it no doubt!

    Lots of love,

    Mariette

  5. Angela,

    What absolutely gorgeous pillows! You are so talented. I love sewing but have never been really skilled at it . Maybe I should take a class.
    I am curious about your living in Dubai. My next door neighbor recently toured Dubai as he was on a work assignment with the FAA. He came back with many interesting stories. Maybe you have some previous posts about living there.

    Do you have a button...I will look.

    All the best,

    charlotte
