just the other day the lovely Amy posted about one of her beautiful fabric cuffs that she custom made for herself... nothing unusual there, but it got me thinking that i have yet to make a custom version of one of my own designs for myself... !
really, i don't have a granny cushion of my own, or forever flower garland. i do have one potholder, but she did spend a wee while in the shop before i realised that i should keep at least one from my original collection as a memento. she is now working hard as a lovely (tea-stained!) trivet for my teapot and i do keep promising to make some friends for her... but those promises have come to nothing as yet and she is still lonely... :(
so, as i mentioned to Amy on her post the other day, i have been making more such promises to myself about a custom forever flower garland. the problem being that i can't settle on a colour theme i want to go with. i had thought a super long all red version such as miss Doris would be quite lovely, then when i made the multi coloured petite ones i thought one of those would be even better. but today i'm looking at these lovely salmon pinks and vintage greens, with a hint of mustard and indigo, and thinking these would also look wonderful! i'm also thinking that a garland in these colours would look mighty spiffy next to this lovely bunting that i ordered a few days ago... :)
is it wrong to be wishing for more soggy weather, just so i can spend a cosy evening in crocheting something lovely for myself... !?
i think it probably is considering how much i am going complain about the chilly weather over the coming months... ;)
a fabulous weekend to you all... !
