one last crafty post before our trip

on
I haven't showed you what I managed to make (read, craft, sew) last week. FOR ONCE, it was for us, and in fact, a twin is in the making (only needs to be sewn together). I'm talgking about cushions covers.

I bought a gorgeous fabric from Aunt June on Etsy, back in May. I had already in mind its future use : cushion covers. I'll be back to Lauren's shop to get more fabric, when we'll be back home.

the back of the cushion is a beautiful white & blue half linen half cotton stripey print. Love it !

I think it even looks better on our bed ...

last week I also revamped a denim hat I had bought (you must have seen it on my Flickr stream). I bought it on sale (half the price) but it was a bit too plain to my taste. I used salvaged denim to make belt loops, and sewed a pleated band with a red floral fabric, which can be removed & changed. (and plan to make many more)

while we're talking about crafts, let me show you some shots I made last week of my creative space, in the summer evening light. (taken from the computer corner)

yet another WIP
where the little magic happens

on this kind of magical view, I'll leave you for now, I'll have something new to show you tomorrow.

if you're looking for me tonight, I'll be at my inlaws', drinking a cold Heineken, wearing my best orange tank top, and cheering for the Netherlands !



now you all take care & have a great Sunday !

    You're coming here! How did I miss that? Well, depending on where you are going, it looks like you'll see some rain :O) It's already clouding over and this week is going to be 'unsettled'!

    Love the way you have customised your hat.

    Safe travelling. Enjoy your holiday :O) xx

    No worries Sonia, still sunny in these parts - although a little rain is in the forecast :)

    Ciao Sonia, I am (almost!) back online after many weeks with no computer :( Enjoy your trip to England! :) We had 3 hideous chilly, windy and rainy weeks with high temps around 18C (14C today) and it seems more rain is on the way. Yuck! England is so much better weather-wise, so glad for you :D Come back with lotsa pics! Hugs!! xoxoxox
