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.

My Creative Space - Burgundy, Honeysuckle and Red

Here's something I've been playing around with lately.

The petal colours are a variation of the Burgundy Love Mix Flower , but that's where the similarity ends.

I love how the bright red ribbon pops and the leaves with the white tulle and red stitching are one of my all-time favourite leaves.

My Creative Space - Journal Cover

I tried something new for me this week and had my first attempt at a journal cover.

This was the result and I'm kind of happy with it -though I see areas for improvement.

I raided my lace stash and used some lace scraps but also some of my grandmother's vintage crochet lace for the first time.

The polka dot fabric was just begging to be added

...so I caved in.....

I couldn't resist adding some vintage scraps and ribbons...

and a couple of black organza flowers...

Maria aka Sidirom produces the most beautifuly created items made of yarn. Meticulous and in the most surprising colours, her creations show a lot of Maria's own personality.
