My Velvet Valentine's Posies ..

Hello my dear friends,

I must admit that things haven't gone too well this year with me being able to create things and actually finish them on time ... I seem to leave things too late even though I try not to. This time it was the same but I finished my Valentine creations for my daughters just in time.

 

Remember my red dress/ballgown I told you about some posts ago? I used some of the velvet to make my newest creations that were my gifts for my two daughters.

It started out with plain red velvet hearts and then turned into these ...

... lovely creations ...

... my Velvet Valentine's Posies.

An old cut up doillie ...

  

... and an aged tag ...

 

  

... a few vintage velvet violets ...

 

... and some crinkled seam binding ...

 

... were all that was needed to turn these hearts in to my velvet Valentine's posies.

I wasn't sure if these creations were going to work out at first because I am not a good sewer when it comes to using a sewing machine but I took my time, even though I didn't have much, and in the end my creation turned out exactly the way I imagined it should look.

The nicest thing about these creations ...
... the smiles on my daughters faces when they received them.

I would love for you to visit me some time soon again here at Todolwen.

I hope you are well my dear friends and life is treating you kind.

Have a peaceful and creative day,


Karen B.
