1930s Collars

I never used to like the large, exaggerated collars so characteristic of the 1930s.

So it's kind of funny now that I find them absolutely fascinating!

Making Citrus Stars

 We started making citrus stars a couple of days ago and it was unanimously declared one of the best crafts we've done in a while. We absolutely loved it!

It was quick and it was fun and the aroma of the fragrant peel makes it a thoroughly pleasant and very festive diy. 

We had pink grapefruit and oranges on hand so that's what we used to make ours.

Can you tell which is which?

  

The ones above are from orange peel and you can probably tell that they're only half dried. The ones below are the pink grapefruit ones and they are thoroughly dried out. I adore the amazing, delicate, pink-orange hues!!

They're so fragrant and beautiful you just feel like making them again and again.

The inspiration for the citrus stars -and how to make them- came from here.

Sandy Beige and Red Flower Sash

 Handmade floral sash for a little princess.

The flower is made of chic nude fabric petals with a touch of ivory tulle and has a lustrous red bead centre while the dainty tulle leaves are ivory and red.

The ribbon that the flower is attached to is fairly long, so that it can be tied into a bow and have long flowing ends. 

And it's sturdy cotton so that it can be worn time and again without showing wear.
