Today I finished making these cute pocket-tissue holders.
I used golden beige silk material with three layers of lace.
I was wondering why they call it baby shower...
In Victorian times they would hide gifts in a parasol,
then when opened it would 'shower' gifts
for the bride-to-be.
I hope it was paper money or jewelry...
These days the mother-to-be also gets showered with gifts.
I just love my new material.
I will use it to make table-covers, it is too fine and delicate
for a bed-cover.
This baby-pillow is a perfect match!
I hope you have a wonderful week.

Simply gorgeous ;) I just love your tissue covers, they are so frilly and Lacey just beautiful.
