baby's got back

now where were we?? oh yes step four... this is the fastest step, as all of the tiny fussy stitching has finished. i take my completed fronts out to my fabric stash and um and er over which fabric suits them best. i do love how they come together. i have added a few photos to show you the end product.

here they are nestled in a freshly turned bowl (i have such a talented hubby) and here are the backs! sleeping beauties my lighting is not the best, must ask my photographic whiz to help me with ideas.

love that violet fabric they really do look sweet if i do say so myself.

and now i am furiously working on the kokeshi brooches. i have designed a new look so that i will have two designs to choose from. once again the fronts are so fiddly and take ages to complete but the end product is worth it. what do you think?? i will be back with more as soon as i get closer to finishing the order.

even though i like the kokeshis the babushkas remain my favourite...what about you?? which id your favourite? maybe when the dust settles i will have a brooch giveaway :) thanks for your support.

mmwwaaahhh rosey

p.s. when this order is finished these brooches will be for sale at funky fabrix. pop into shonas blog, not only is she having a giveaway but her fabric is amazing too :)
