    the last of the pretty girly

    for a while.

    I'm so ridiculously excited about the coming of spring that I've fashioned myself this shrug/wrap thingy from a small crochet table cloth.

    Yes, another 5 minutes flat bit of fakery that makes me look much cleverer than I really am. Hooray for that I say.

    The clasp is a vintage avon daisy...you know the kind...with perfume in the centre.

    Happy weekend to you all.

    A little while ago I picked up these beautiful crochet cushion cover/cosy pieces at the Op Shop for the princely sum of $2 a piece!

    They are stunning & the work that has gone into making them...incredible. If you're all about the hook & proving your eye straining worth then go for it I say. You'll earn my respect.

    BUT I'm all about the smoke & mirrors & figured I'd have a go at a bit of fakery based on the original.

    I love the combination of natural & white. I've used a thrifted/opped table cloth & a hotel grade (also opped) sheet. The sheet further adds to the fakeness of the whole deal as I didn't even have to hem the envelope closure.

    I ripped the sheeting to size & whipped a pair of these up in under 20 minutes. I figured this bit of magic might be something you guys would like to have a crack at. I think that they would make excellent Christmas gifts.

    The Date hates the pretty girly lights, hates the TV cabinet & chair but surprisingly doesn't mind the cushions! He still thinks the room's too girly but I'm not convinced. I prefer fresh.
