Hair, there and anywhere

Inspiration can be found anywhere (including peeking into the neighbour's garden!) I love the colour of these beautiful camellias....



A stencil for making a camellia hair tie

Buttons and fabric paint add the finishing touch

Roses are a favourite of mine too...

And this one is from my garden!

The frayed edges give this hair band a delicate finish

Good bye to bad hair days with these cuties!

Now... what else can I find in the garden....

Snail Mail

Detail of front

Yesterday was a red letter day. The rain was driving in sideways and it was the perfect time to make myself sit still and finish sewing by hand the binding of my Blue Silk Quilt which I blogged about here.

Detail of back

And then when I went to collect the post from our post box 2 kms from our house along a metal (gravel, unfinished) road, there was treasure inside - two handknitted cushion covers made by my fabulous Mother and sent with love to the other side of the world. Smiles all round!

                                   

I love the cabling and I especially love the detail of the buttons. Just right for huddling up with on a cold and rainy day - thanks Mum! 

                                       

Then I just had to look out some vintage buttons for inspiration.........
