Thanksgiving, part 2

I almost finished everything I wanted to do for Thanksgiving... on my list was a garland for my mantel...well it turned out HUGE and doesn't fit across my mantel. So I'll make a smaller one next year...I'm not sure where this'll end up, but I loved how it turned out. You can't see the cute detail. But it really is beautiful.

I sewed crepe paper, ruffled it and formed them to make ovals. Then I cut out scalloped ovals to lay on top, and embossed them with a pretty branch design. The triangles with an empty eyelet will hold a beautiful crystal as soon as they come in the mail!
I saw this cute turkey placemat design and had to do it.....

...four times, they turned out so cute.
And for the girls...cute turkey clips that I copied from the same blog as the place mats!
And I thought how cute would that turkey be on a shirt? But with more color to match the clips? So I made one for both my girls.

And had to put this on the back.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!

A Wedding

My good friend Zenny asked if I would help her beautify accessories for her children for a wedding in the family. She bought these dresses for her girls, but wanted to incorporate red and white, which are the other colors in the wedding.

First we made a red sash. She wanted them about three inches thick. Already a lot better.

She wanted to use the length of the fabric, instead of buying more fabric, so no pretty bow on back, but a cool tie and it's still beautiful.
Next, white. I thought a beautiful pin for the sash would look lovely.

And of course headbands and clips.

All in all I made:

4 sashes

2 poppy pins

5 headbands

3 clips

I've been busy! And she promised beautiful pictures from the wedding. To come soon.
