I saw something like this at J Crew
I had some ribbon and thought I'd give it a try...while watching ELF...which we all memorized!
I made three rosettes out of 1" muted silver satin ribbon and sewed them about 15" inches in from the edge of a piece of 2" satin muted gold ribbon to allow for a bow tie. Measure your waist and about 12" more for a bow. I would demonstarte that but it is Thanksgiving...toooo much waist!! My daughter wanted it simple, but I could see this in many different shaped flowers and colors. 
My next one will be grosgrain ribbon and black jersey knit flowers....I just rummage through the ribbon and fabric that I have.
It will have to wait for later...I am still cleaning up after this weekend of everyone home....and my dishwasher broke....on Thanksgiving....and all the leftovers in plastic containers from yesterday filling my sink....ugh.
Who is happy with their dishwasher? mine is a Maytag and it has been terrible! I love appliances...not fair! Here is another decision I do not want to make. I want stainless, next time I replace....but my fridge is fairly new and my stove is ok except it is an electric smooth top and I wish I could have gas. (Does anyone have propane? )So, do I get a white dishwasher again or go with one stainless appliance??
Too much to think about.....I watched the Christmas Dog last night and loved it and it was so peaceful....OH- because the dishwasher was not running!

Hi Nancy! How pretty...you're lucky you can sew!!
ReplyDeleteYou let me know if you find a good dishwasher, because every house we've lived in has had a different dishwasher and none of them are any good!
Happy December...

How pretty and creative.
ReplyDeleteI have a GE dish washer and love it. I bought it from my sister-in-law. She bought all new stainless steel appliance, so we bought her appliance which were only one year old.
THANKS!!! for visiting my blog and leaving a nice comment about my buttery lemon bars. These are one of my hubby's favorite.

Looooovvve it!!!!! I'm sure I'll be trying these!!!! super.cute!! hmmmmm.....I'd say go with the stainless....do they sell appliance paint in stainless??? you could spray the other two to coordinate for the time being....depending on how ambitious you are! And did you see Derek Jeter is on the cover of Sports Illustrated this week....Sportsman of the Year!! Yeah!!!!!
