Over on Crafty Mamas our July swap was about sharing our crafty passion. The recipient of my crafty creations was Carolyn. It was good having Carolyn because I know her, but I will say she didn't make it easy on me. I asked her if she wanted me to make something specific for her, and she said surprise me!
So if you hang about here enough, you know my crafty passions/interests are sewing, dyeing, embroidery usually with a Euro influenced style.
I made two things...
a strip pieced rainbow covered journal with Luzia Pimpinella's Love Bus.
(the journal in this photo is another one I made at the same time)
I also made two "plain" rainbow covered journals to donate to the school craft stall.
I then made a bunting from Luzia Pimpinella's Love my Sweet Home embroidery set. I used some Farmers Market fabric because I like it, and I know Carolyn likes it!
It was really hard to get a good photo of the whole bunting.
Check out those pompoms!

Wow oh wow oh wow. Wish I was Carolyn... :)
They look amazing!! Gorgeous colours and print! I thought I recognised those pom poms, you've found a wonderful use for them:)
They look great Sara
Awesome Sara - Carolyn will be wrapt.
What is the striped fabric you have used for the string of the bunting? I love that.
In fact I love how you have thrown together 10,000 colours, fabrics and embroidery designs and they look in harmony - you are too clever!
I saw these on Carolyn's blog, no wonder she's so pleased, they're gorgeous!!
Maybe I'll be lucky enough to get you as a swap partner one day!
suprise :)
I tell you what, over the moon doesn't comes close to how delighted the kids and I were to see what you had made for us! Thank you so very much!
The boys were very impressed (even tho its in the girls room), Ellise came out with a massive grin "thank you mum!" and Lily was skipping! And I have put the key fob and journal to good use!
Thank you again!
that is truly beautiful Sara, love it
This is gorgeous bunting!! You really have a eye for putting fabrics together. BEAUTIFUL!!
