I'm afraid I've been somewhat remiss in sharing the latest rik rak mega give-away for the holidays.

There are 5 fabulous prize packs to be won by 5 fabulously lucky winners! Each prize pack is valued at over $100.

Prize pack B has a wonderful set of freshwater coin pearl jewelry by sparrow grey, an eco felt stocking of your choice from rikrak, as well as a white shantung silk ruffle cuff from my very own One Perfect Day.

The winners will be chosen on December 4, so you'd better hurry up if you want to be in the running for this one.

There will be another giveaway on this blog very soon. I'll be joining the SewMamaSew Giveaway Day on December 3, along with hundreds of others. 

Giveaway Day is actually a week long and you don't want to miss it! 

Pale Blue Silk Pair Of Cuffs Revisited

I took some new photos of the pastel blue silk cuff I posted a couple of weeks ago but this time I photographed the pair instead of just one of them.

Softest Champagne Silk Ruffle Cuff

The silk used for this cuff was such a joy to work with. 

In the most subtle of golds and soft as a baby kitten, it's most definately a favourite.

There's also some of my grandmother's prized crochet lace there.

I'm sure I've mentioned her before. She was a wizard with a hook.

 A real master.

Every time I see her handiwork I regret not learning to crochet from her when I had the chance.

So I use the precious stash I have judiciously.

I've also used some natural cotton ribbon in an antique white.

It's quite stiff to begin with, but every time it's worn, it gets softer and softer untill it's smooth and silky.

Bridal White Ruffle Cuff

In total white, made out of the softest, most bridal white, natural cotton ruffles and layers of lace in dazzling white and antique white, this cuff is one of my favourite so far.

New Honeysuckle Pink Sash-Wrist Cuff

I know I've been going overboard with the pinks and reds lately but it seems to be a mania that has taken on a life of its own.....

I can't help it.

The thing is, I just can't get enough of these bright, upbeat colours.

So here's my latest fuschia pink organza flower sash/headband/wrist cuff.

It's actually quite difficult to photograph the organza and capture the hue accurately. The colour is approximate. In real life it's deeper and brighter -and a touch more red.

The ribbon is vintage, natural cotton and baby soft to the touch. In my very favourite hard-to-miss red.

New Organza Flower Cuffs

I've been working on a new kind of cuff lately.

I'm still hooked on these organza flowers and coming up with all sorts of shapes, sizes and colour combinations.

But I've tried a new look by making them into what  look like bangles that you just slide on and off.

They've got a wide elastic band base that is quite thick and so holds it's shape. So you can wear it either snug-fitting on your wrist, or opt for a larger size band and wear it as a bangle with that characteristic sense of motion it creates.

I just love the way they look worn.

I can't wait to photograph them and share some more pictures.

My Creative Space - Black Ruffle Cuffs

While black is definately a safe choice for accessories, I naturaly tend to move towards happy colours instead.

Lately, however, I've been drawn to the dramatic effect of black.

This ruffle cuff is black shantung silk -which is one of my all-time favourite materials to work with-

with some black lace and a taupe cotton ribbon to tie it closed.

This one is an ice-blue cotton ruffle cuff with an extra wide black lace over it

and a pale blue-gray cotton ribbon with black trimming to tie it closed.
