If you can't fight...
...wear a big hat, as my Grandad used to say.
Or in this case wear a teeny tiny hat.
This is the little Harley Quinn fascinator that I made to go with Naomi's prom dress (see previous post). I bought the sinnamay hat and stitched a couple of barrette clips to the underside of the brim, then decorated it with ribbons, feathers, diamantes, and of course a couple of tiny Jokers (from one of those mini packs of cards you get in Christmas Crackers), because Harley wouldn't go anywhere without Mr J.
I also finished and framed this:-
. Live, Love, Laugh by La-D-Da, stitched using the recommended fabric and threads, except that I missed off the solid border because a) stitching solid borders is really boring and b) they make it really hard to get the thing to look straight in the frame. Definitely had a stroke of luck when I went to get the frame, I got their last scrap of terracotta mountboard, and the last of that particular frame. I think it was "meant to be".

Oh that's perfect for her dress- and a great stitching HD too :-)
Did I write this post? It sounds so much like one I could have written! Except I don't have a daughter to wear such a cool hat. Maybe you could make me one for my cousin's wedding. They are all really tall and I'm so short I have promised I will wear a big hat!
I love your La Di Da sampler, especially the terracottay pink.
I also hate straight borders!
Wow so perfect..
Super sweet stitching x
Beautiful finishes on both counts. And the framer did a great job. Chris. x
Oh, that hat is adorable, Christine! And I really like your Live, Laugh, Love without the border--great job :)
Love both of your finishes - you clever lady, you!
