Ribbons at the Festival of Speed

Oooh my legs ache this morning
Tony and I had a little treat yesterday.

We went to Goodwood for the Festival of Speed.

It was totally amazing, but an awful lot of walking – hence the aching legs.

But amongst all the fabulous cars, I managed to find ribbon!

I did….

………hanging around the Champagne tent.
 

It was far too hot to sample the pleasure of the tent but I did enjoy seeing the ribbons.

We have some speedy ribbons up for grabs as this weeks Friday FREEBIE just click here to join in.

Have a great weekend.

Butterfly card

Did you see our latest Exclusive ribbon we launched yesterday?

It was designed by Laura, one of our Challenge blog design team members.

Super easy to use, and looks stunning on its own.

You can find Laura’s butterflies here

We think it looks amazing and is the start of our new collection – Nature.

Dotty flowers

How are you all this fine morning?
I have been up early, sat in the garden enjoying my latest creation.

I used our wicked dotty buttons in 3 sizes.
You can find them all here

These are not any ordinary crochet flowers – I set myself a mission…………………

…..….to teach myself to crochet left handed.
I was hoping it would put less strain on my damaged thumb.

According to Tony I sat with my tongue hanging out, deep in concentration.

My first left handed flower – I was super pleased, but sadly did not reduce the stress on my thumb.
So I have hung up my crochet hook for a while  

Simple white T shirts

Morning all, weather still fab here in Dorset.

Look what was in my inbox yesterday.

Fabby fun T shirts made from……….

Lin used the ribbons from the Sisters Bev’s bag to add decoration to simple white T shirts.
I love the edged sleeves and the large button.
I think these are a such fun Lin, thank you for sharing them with me Lin and allowing me to share them with others.

We always love to see what you create with our ribbons and buttons.
My email is craftyribbons@gmail.com maybe I will have a few more pleasant emails this week.

Enjoy

Wedding candles

Morning everyone, oh I do like this weather.
The sun streams into our courtyard in the morning and I just love getting up early and crafting in the garden.

New ribbons always get me inspired and the NEW wedding owls are no exception.

Without you I’m nothing, with you I’m something, together we are EVERYTHING

We have had cake (yes I really did make that just for the owls),

yesterday we had ribbon wands and today my little crafting project is wedding candles.

I revamped my Christmas candles, to wedding candles! 

 

How or should that be owl cool are those.
Even better when you upcycle cheese boxes!

What do these ribbons inspire you to make?
Go on tell me – pretty please.

Ribbon wands

Morning ribbon fans, isn't it fantastic weather.

We do a lot of giggling at Crafty Ribbons HQ.
Yesterday I had Sydney running around waving my wedding ribbon wands.

She found it so funny that I could not get a picture in focus.

I just adapted mine from the wands I made the children for Halloween.
Full instructions can be found here.

Just changed the ribbon colours!

I used the narrow grosgrain 6mm, 10mm sheer and the NEW Wedding day ribbons.

have a great day
