BEETROOT RED!


As promised here is the latest! The wool is hand dyed and hand spun by local African ladies up near Nakuru and this colour is made using beetroot! Amazing - am going up there again shortly to restock! Here it is - again the design of the actual cushion needs to be sorted but it is an idea.








Front of cushion - very bad photo!

Button made by making pompom, adding button and gluing to self covering button

Also going to look at adding printed stuff to the cushions - here's a couple of things I tried printing and another embellishment,



Embellishment made from wonderful kanga






All graphics are of course from the wonderful graphicsfairy.blogspot.com

Apologies for the early appearance of the kanga embellishment - it did not want to come out unless it took other images with it!
That;s the latest but the best news is that the rains have come - not much but at least some - boy was it getting muggy here, and of course with that weather come the headaches!!!! Have a good one x
