Gifted Gorgeousness - April

It's time once again for Gifted Gorgeousness, a blog hop organised by Jo where once a  month we show off our gift-related crafts. This month mine is a bit of a skill swap.
Here is Naomi wearing the silk chiffon kimono I made for her (the original plan was that I would teach her how to make it herself, but the fabric was really slippery and awkward so I ended up just making it)


And here is the wood-burned door hanger (front and back) which she made for me.


She made some other door hangers and boxes as well and will be listing them in her folksy shop as soon as I get around to photographing them for her.

    Beautiful Kimono, and pretty young lady wearing it. :-) Nice job on that project!

    Naomi is quite talented as well.

    Clearly Naomi is taking after her talented Mum , you are so lucky a daughter is interested in crafts too, mine never has been . Mind you maybe when her children have grown up,she may find time. LOL.
