My present for Lynda in February was a cute crocheted pot with bunny ears and a flower. I didn't take photos of that as it wasn't my creation.
March is De's Birthday.
Sometime last year, I purchased some fabric that had "De's Texture Basics" on the selvedge. It was a great fabric for the placemats I was doing - but the selvedge was also very appealing. So, I stashed the selvedge away.
Then Maureen bought some fabric that had the word "Daisy" on the selvedge...I had to get some of that!

When I was going through some selvedges for my door stopper boot (future post), I found another perfect selvedge - "Petal Power": and "I think of you every daisy"
I had a blue/yellow daisy fabric and teamed it with the orange daisies and the selvedges and made a bag for De.

That sorted the "Flower" bit and a little bit of "Power" - but then I thought of some Powerade. As I was about to cover the "ade" part of the bottle, I realised that if I just covered the A - I had "DE" left. I added a 4 so now the bottle reads "Power for De".

I guess she will get the joke...
That must have been fun to find and incorporate them all into a gift! Very sweet
ReplyDeleteVery cute and clever :)
ReplyDeleteThat’s very clever of you. I like how you incorporated the set edges into the bag
ReplyDeleteThe bag looks lovely, just perfect for your gift. xx
ReplyDeleteVery clever. I’m sure she will get a laugh out of the Power 4 De.
