Oops!<br /><br />Time has flown as it's wedding season in the Northern Hemisphere so I have been a busy little crafter, creating oodles of custom made bridesmaids clutches to send over the other side of the world.<br /><br />Between that and hanging out with The Little Miss, there has not been much time for blogging!<br /><br />Just thought I would take a few minutes to check in today and share a recent creation for an American bride who has planned the sweetest wedding.<br /><br />She contacted me wanting some vintage fabric clutches and attached a pic of some details of her wedding - groomsmens bowties and bridesmaids hair pieces. How cute is that?<br /><br />Luckily I had the perfect vintage fabric just sitting around in my studio waiting for her! I found these prints over a year ago and have been dying to use them but I was just waiting for the right bride to come along I think!<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IAevac1MHj8/Tfas-BKouXI/AAAAAAAABho/wTDDah38xsk/s1600/Colour2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 346px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617867766656186738" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IAevac1MHj8/Tfas-BKouXI/AAAAAAAABho/wTDDah38xsk/s400/Colour2.jpg" /></a><br />And here is the finished product.
