I'm really chuffed with this one..

Post by Willow »

My little sister asked me to make a keepsake for a freinds wedding. She asked me to do an old fashioned cottagey heart with their names and wedding date..
I woke up with this idea in my head and it turned out exactly the way I'd imagined..
I'm really pleased with it :-D

The 'Label' has their names, then "To have and to hold" and the wedding date...

Willow, I don't often comment on peoples creations (probably because I am envious of their skills) but felt I had to make an exception and say how really pretty I find your 'love heart', you clever thing x

Thanks Ellie and Wendy :-D it has a very wide band of lace on the back which is only sewn at the sides and bottom, Sue asked for a 'pocket' to pop some honeymoon money in...

Beautifully done, so artistic.
There must be a lot of demand for stuff like this at craft fairs, surely?
Well done, you!
