If I didnt do a post about Will and Kates wedding!. I am such a cryer when it comes to weddings, the second I woke up the T.V went on and I was addicted! As soon as I saw those cars driving to the church I got all emotional and had to hold back the tears and then I just had to get my own wedding photo album out and relive the day.
And what about her evening dress!!! just gorgeous.
I also wanted to say thankyou for all the comments I got on yesterdays post. I agree with Megs comment about confidence in crafting being work in process and I think that for me, it will be something that improves the more I keep at it.
I have also realised that crafting is subjective. Take for instance my chunky binding. I remember what sparked my negative thoughts about this.
I read on a blog that someone had taken part in a doll quilt swop and they viewed all of the chunky binding as a waste of fabric and they had said it looked far to heavy for a dolls quilt and proceeded to give a tutorial on single fold binding as for them, it looked much better.
This made me question my own binding and immediatly deem it as wrong. This person had much more experience then me so I made the assumption that they were right and I was wrong.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that, its ok for things to turn out a little bit differnt then what you might have wanted. See the beauty, the time and the effort that its taken you to make. If need be, put it away for a while and come back to it with fresh eyes and when you are in a better frame of mind. Learn and grow and be proud, because a little part of you was sewn into it.
Yes, wasn't the wedding wonderful - we were glued here too! Thankyou for recommending the edge stitch foot on my blog. I've had a practise with the blind stitch foot which has a similar guide and it is ideal - an edge stitch foot is now on my wish list! x
ReplyDeleteDresses were lovely - loved the lace! Also loved the horses an carriages - we do that so well!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree Dana. It's all a work in progress and finding balance is the key. We can't be too hard on ourselves or compare ourselves- just enjoy the process and be proud of what we create! :)
