Postman Dave brought me a parcel of goodies
from the lovely Jessie Chorley textile artist/stitcher
and I quickly made use of the printed templates
by stitching them onto some gingham
and then onto my granny cardi that I got from
the charity shop ages ago.
I've just realised the brooch I made looks like a nipple tassle
Well it would if my boobs weren't six inches lower haha.
I made this basket brooch yesterday
when I should have been working in the office.
Don't tell the boss will you.
See you next week and
thanks for dropping by

How pretty is that....you have a way of making something special out of something past and giving them a new life. Such talent.

Well, you need to make another nipple tassel brooch so you can get them twirling in opposite directions 😁 Love your blue legs!

ReplyDeleteLolling here at Jans comment! Lovely pieces, Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #10 XxX
ReplyDeleteLove the decorated cardi - very stylish and pretty. Had to laugh at Jan's comment, I was just about to say you needed another brooch on the other side for balance! Love the blue legs too!

Granny's cardi with added nipple tassels! Good heavens! I love it, what a great idea. xxx
ReplyDeleteAmazing what you can do with a bit of imagination and pazzazz, Lynne! Fabulous makeover! Granny would be soooo proud. Thank you for your fun comment which made me laugh - I know the feeling - my brain is so full of kittens at the moment that there isn't much room for anything else!! We are seeing them for the first time tomorrow - exactly 24 hours from now! Can't wait.

ReplyDeleteLove the blue legs and your nipple tassel... Gorgeous what you have done with your cardigan... love that idea... Adore the basket brooch... Have a fun filled week ahead... May #11
ReplyDeleteLoving all the blues, super cardi update. Thanks for the visit BJ#28
ReplyDeleteThe "patches" really added to the cardigan and I laughed about your nipple tassel comment. I didn't even think that until you said it. What a hoot! Love your blue legs and shoes. Thanks for the visit and I hope you have a great week!

Your granny cardi looks awesome with all the additions, even the nipple tassel! Thanks for sharing, Lindart #35
ReplyDeleteLove your cardi - you've made something special out of that. Thanks for visiting, have a great week, Hugs, Lynne #46
ReplyDeleteWOW! Those tights and shoes are marvellous! Love them! What a fantastic colour. And your pockets on your cardigan - such a brilliant idea - are they pockets or just patches? They look great anyhow.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting me - sorry I am so late, been in bed ill but fine now.
Hugs, Neet xx
I was lucky to go to one of JessieChorleys workshops. Love your cardi x
ReplyDeleteYou are so clever, Lynn. Your nipple tassle comment made me crack up, though! xxx
