I didn't get as far as I'd've liked before the end of Sunday, mostly because instead of doing homework on Saturday evening after the dinner, I set up my Etsy shop!

Emma, I love both your bowerbirds, befuddled AND otherwise! The colors are great, and the workmanship looks like perfection. Sounds like it was a very enjoyable time. Thanks for sharing your projects with us.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed yourselves. Did Natalie make it? Your work looks great, and I recognise the fabric you've used for the striped tree in the second piece!
