Bee happy .... change things


After changing my CK quilt cover I got carried away with trims and added some to plain hand towels.

I used my gorgeous East of India ribbons and some pom pom trim.





I have also had a go at making strawberries from my lovely Tilda books.


You can see the different shapes as I got better at it!


When I bought my CK quilt cover in TK Maxx I found another crown, couldn't resist.  I filled it with my Laura Ashley roses.


I also popped back to Lakeland and used my remaining credit on a PIP bowl.



And finally, I can't remember who asked, but here's a close up on what is holding my ribbon pole up.


A small screw from net curtain wire with ribbon looped around the pole and then hooked up.


Hope this helps :)

Bee happy x
Have a delicious day!

  10. The towels look smashing. Oh it all looks good - you must get so much pleasure out of those pretty things. I know I would. And well done on the strawbs - they actually look like they would be quite tricky to make.
