Handmade Feathers

I love this DIY feather tutorial courtesy of Blue Sky Confections, and the cute story behind it. Don't we all love when something we thought was a failure produces a "happy accident" instead? :D

Made in the right colours, these babies would brighten and add character to any decorating/jewellery/craft project you can think of to add it to! I personally prefer the the ones made with embroidery floss or a fine yarn.They look so very delicate, almost like the real thing! Happy crafting everyone! And a Happy Mothers' Day to all mums!

Burdastyle Inspiration - 01 May 2012

Wow. Look at this fabulously colourful selection of some the latest patterns from Burda Style magazine! These are also now available on Burdastyle.com. They're inspired by Brazil and I'm just loving those bright prints and especially want that butterfly print fabric! I thought it was a dress initially but that's actually a maxi skirt and top combination. Boy, I'd love to make that outfit from that exact fabric in the image. :D
