Dark Cherry Red Flower Pin and Bobby Pin

I made these dark cerise flowers a couple of days ago. I love this red fabric for its intense vivid colour as well as its discreet subtle sheen.

The beads in the middle are quite interesting, with an exceptional luster with shimmery hues of a variety of colours, including gold and a sort of beetle green. That probably doesn't sound very appealing and it sure isn't captured well in the photos but in reality it's very pretty and rather alluring.

For the flower brooch I attached the simple spoil-proof pin that I favour for brooches (aka pins). The kind that doesn't have the little 'wheel' that sometimes comes off.

My Creative Space - Wristlet Pouches

Amongst a million other things that seem to be on my worktable, I finally made my first ever pouches!

They've been on my list of things to do for ever....

So it was fortuitous that someone ordered one and of course I got carried away and got to make more.

Maybe you noticed the heart stolen from the Lavender-filled Heart Brooch.

They were lots of fun to make and I'll definately be making more when this Christmas rush is over and I have the time to breathe...

The litttle handles were actualy cut up from hanles I had made for the kid's Duck Bags a while ago.

This one is mine and as large as a pencil case but I use it for the little bag I carry around when I don't want to carry a bag. I put my keys, purse and mobile in it and I'm good to go. The handle makes it extremely practical as it dangles on your wrist and you have free hands!

 I've also made a smaller one I use as a mini make-up case in my bag.

And this one is the same size made to the specifications of my sister who -I'm happy to say- adored them on sight.....
