Mmmmmm Liberty....

For Christmas I received a bundle of Liberty print samples/scraps. They are absolutely beautiful and so precious - but I have no idea if I'll use them. I just like looking at them. I keep them on a shelf above my sewing table and occasionally I take them down and flick through them.

Gorgeous.

I had a moment of inspiration though when I was thinking about the Valentine card I made - I had strengthened the fabric hearts with interfacing and so I cut 2 very tidgy heart shapes and did the same and voila, made them into a pair of earrings. Yeah, they could be neater/better but it was just an experiment and I like them enough to wear them and will try and improve the next pair.

Needless to say, Nutmeg was close by to offer practical help and encouragement. She was purring when this photograph was taken, but that's just between me and Meg....
