Emerald Mirror Necklace

A reflection to envy. Golden and emerald mirror like pendant with green glass, crystal and stone, wrapped in gold tone wire and handmade chain.

Ever see the movie, Return to Oz?  I made this necklace with it in mind. It has always been one of our favorite childhood movies, because of it my husband and I compulsively touch green things and say Oz, you know … just in case.

Red Rose/White Dot Apron

red rose apron with white

Ah roses is there anything more simple while still being so elegant? I fell in love with this rose fabric and it took a long time for me to cut into it, I’m very pleased with how it came out. Like all my apron this is fully lined. The attached half apron is white dot on white very subtle but I think it adds a lot.

I added apple green topstitching to the rose fabric, and finished off with red and white lace. I have started to refer to this pattern that I have created as a “tartlett apron” 

Green dot and Pink Rose Apron

dgdggdI completed my first full apron, I am very happy with it. I originally bought this pink rose on green to make curtains in my kitchen but decided it would look great with this dotted fabric. every part of this, including the floral half apron part,  is fully lined.011

I used a cream brocade for the waistband that is elastic so you can comfortably move around in it. The top straps are partially elastic, but then ties in back, it really helps for busty girls.
