Handmade Lavender Hearts and Pin Cushion

Over the past few weeks I've enjoyed making little lavender heart cushions. I love working with felt, it's so versatile and easy to use, and I'm really loving the bright, bold colours. I really need to get more felt in my life!

The green and yellow cushion was a wedding gift to a friend. 

This was created by joining two cushions together. 'Two hearts become one!'

The floral fabric and gold threads, which I received in my Autumn Swap, adds an extra touch.
I really enjoyed making this cushion.

My daughter, Jazmine, has made the shortlist for the cosmopolitan blog awards 2011! 
"A charity shop girl who likes the occasional Starbucks
and adores wandering around the Victoria and Albert Museum."
I am so proud of everything Jazmine has achieved!
 

I've watched her blog and confidence grow over the past eighteen months,  



from the shy girl taking outfit shots in her bedroom 

into the confident, beautiful young lady she has become posing for Vogue Italia.
