I'm on a roll...and finished off the other two "Easter/spring flower" books.
One a "Forget-me-not" book encased in a matchbox adorned with forget-me-nots and decorated with silk ribbon and a ceramic button.
The book has another wrapped and embroidered jacket. One of the challenges I have set myself in this project is to only use things I've got already as it seems pretty pointless trying to raise money and then going out and buying new stuff. So I was delighted when I found these little sequins... not quite forget-me-not colour but very pretty and spring like so I think they work.
The third book in the set is a "Primrose" book
In a box also decorated with ribbon and a special button...
And another embroidered wrap around cover.
Which completes the set of three... Daisy, Forget-me-not and Primrose. I just hope the recipient likes them!
I do feel these little books are rather dominating my blog at the moment... but then they are rather dominating my life! So very sorry if you've had enough... but I've still got 37 more to make! There will be another one for the shop by the end of the week.
wow they are absolutely gorgeous - look forward to seeing all the others.
ReplyDeleteSo colourful and cheerful. Lovely little books that create happy feelings.
ReplyDeleteGina, I love them, and the girls are going to adore them. Thank you so much. We need to arrange a handover :-)
ReplyDeleteLove them Gina and certainly not bored of them. May you have much inspiration to finish them off
ReplyDeleteThey are utterly delightful Gina.
ReplyDeleteI really love the forget-me-not one, so pretty. And I don't mind tiny books everytime I come and see you! Beautiful! x
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful little books, the primrose one is my favourite I think :)
ReplyDeleteThese are all gorgeous! Do you live in a sort of time-warp with three times as many available working hours than everyone else?!
ReplyDeleteI won't mind if you post three more every day! They are so lovely and I never get tired of seeing what new designs you have come up with. Hope you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better Gina. Have just looked at the previous post and seen such lovely books. The jackdaw is stunning, as are the Easter ones and now you have completed all three I can't wait to see what you move onto next!
ReplyDelete(what Iz said!) I'm enchanted by anything small, and handcrafted and AWED by how much you can get done!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty little books Gina.
ReplyDeleteHad enough? Are you mad? I am loving these tiny treasures! I think it's a brilliant ethos to make them from what you already have. xx
