I finally got around to turning it into a machine appliqued picture. 
And as it was Minxie's birthday yesterday I turned it into this little bag as a birthday present and a thank you for sending me such lovely drawings.
I've also overcome my technical hitch with the ponytail bands and have gone into mass production. I've been asked to have a stall at Jacob's school for a "Ladies Pamper Evening" in a couple of weeks time so I thought they might make good sale items.
I'm toying with the idea of adding leaves but I'm not sure yet? Any suggestions?
I thought they matched my new purchase rather well - I got this bumper pack of Alcazar machine embroidery threads in ten different shades of blue at almost half price, from Barnyarns where they are having a clear out sale. Might have to go back and get some other colours!
Perhaps some pinks to match the pink ponytail bands?
Have a lovely weekend everyone!
Awww, what a sweet bag! I bet she loved it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the Barnyarns link; a great excuse to top up my collection!
And I vote with leaves - definitely.
Now that's strange! I like the leaves on the pink but not so much on the blue. I do like the ponytail bands whatever tho!
ReplyDeleteThe bag for Minx is lovely. Her drawing and your interpretation are gorgeous.
Love Minxy's bag and those ponytail bands are gorgeous - not as nice as a pink carnation corsage though........!

I agree with Julie - the leaves somehow look better on the pink. Maybe you need a different green for the leaves on the blue?
ReplyDeleteThe bag you made for Minx is lovely - would you mind if I borrowed the pic to put on the design-a-dozen blog? (will of course attribute it to you) - it's a perfect example for this months theme.

That Minx is a bit of a budding artist isn't she? Gorgeous bag you made.
ReplyDeleteHow fiddly are the leaves? Because I think I prefer them WITH leaves (both the pink and the blue).
Good luck with the sale! x
PS: Off to check out those bargain threads now! Thanks for the tip off.
Minx loves her bag - she's shown it to everyone and told the story of how it came about!!
ReplyDeleteI love the flowers - I think with leaves if they were corsages but without for hair bands - or maybe try a couple with and a couple without to see how they go.
Not very helpful am I?!
Good luck with the sale!

I am sure Minx was delighted with her birthday present, it looks so sweet.
ReplyDeleteI do like the ponytail bands but maybe you need to try them with three leaves.
I am sure you will do very well at the sale.
Now I have to go and check out the Barnyarns link.
Saw the pic over at Moogsmum, very lovely work from both you and Minxie.
ReplyDeleteLeaves look lovely, personal preference only but I am loving the pink.
