New Total Black Ruffle Cuff



New ruffle cuff in total black.





Quite dramatic on impact but very easy to wear.




You can just as easily wear it with jeans as you can with an elaborate costume or outfit.




It looks good peeking out of a jacket too.....



 Next time I'll add some lace, like this one or this one.
Or another layer.
I love the tiered ones as much as I love the more simple ones.

Blue Denim


OK, this is not a new bag.
It was made for this challenge a while back.
But it's a new picture and I really wanted to show it off......





I kept this one for myself and I wear it a lot when I don't need the giant oversized bag that fits everything.
It's quite practical.
Maybe next time I'll add a zip to close it instead of a magnetic snap.
Then again, maybe I won't.

Total Gold Organza Flower Hair Clips


I'm absolutely in love with this gold organza.
I tend to go through colour crushes that last a while and then fade away until the next one. 
It probably shows in this blog from time to time too.
It definately shows through my flowers.



Golden Organza Flower - Fairytale Flower


So this golden yellow is my latest colour obsession and I've made an assortment of different flowers with it so far.
But this one is my newest style and one of the very first flowers with stamens that I made -which I have found out that I adore!


Golden Organza Flower  Hair Clip - Set Of 2 - Fairytale Flower


I was thinking of something glamorous for a bride - be it for a fall wedding or not - and I reasoned that you can't get more glamorous then gold.


Golden Flower Hair Clip - Fairytale Flower


So the result was a set of two hair clips in total gold. Lustrous metallic gold stamen paired with golden yellow organza.
Gold excess!



Fairytale Flower - Gold Organza Flower

The look adorable clipped together but just one can stand perfectly well on its own.

What do you think?
Would they look good on a bride on her big day?

Little Brown Polka Dot Bag



This little bag, in an essentially fall mix of colours, was made after a friend's request for a small brown bag that could take her most places.



The light cotton fabric is one of my favourites. I love how tiny the little polka dots are.




The shape is one of my all-time favourite shapes too and I used this a lot a few years ago to make silk evening purses with ruffles on top!





The flowers were added on a whim for some extra interest as well as a more girly note.
 One by one the bright caramel, orange and yellow of the flowers and leaves all came together and I just loved the result! 
Happily, so did my friend.




This bag was so much fun to make that I promised it wouldn't take me so long till the next one.
