plan B...

 

 

...I am off tomorrow to our lake cottage where I will spend most of the next two months of summer. As you can imagine, this last week has been a bit nutty because I was trying to tie up a lot of loose ends; while I managed to accomplish a fair bit,  I didn’t do one of the things I was really hoping to do as well as looking forward to do, which was taking a bunch of photos of the little bedding set I’ve been working on for the last year…

Now, I keep calling it “the little bedding set” or “the little bedding collection” but, in fact, the last thing it is is little as it is made up of at least 20 different pillowcases, over a dozen cushions and three covers! Given all the possible yummy ways to combine all this stuff on a bed, I figure that it would probably take me a good part of a day to photograph it all. With this in mind, I had planned on doing it last Friday because Nico, whose bedroom I was going to use, was going to be away at a soccer tournament in the US and I could therefore take over her room… A perfect plan except for the fact that I woke up on Friday to a gloomy rainy day -- the sunny weather we had enjoyed for most of the week had vanished! At first, I considered setting up and taking the shots despite the dreary day, but then I decided against it because her room has such lovely light from midday on when the sun is out that it would be a shame to do without when taking so many photos...

So, out comes plan B which, to tell you the truth, isn't quite figured out yet... I might just take all the bedding out to the lake and take some photos there, although that will involve coming back probably next week to pick it all up because my car will be jammed to the top tomorrow (we're even bringing up a lovely chocolate labrador named Daisy that we're looking after for the next two weeks!). Or, I might just come back into town in a week or so for a few days and take the photos then. It might seem to you like I'm fixating about all of this a bit too much, but I guess I've been really looking forward to taking these photos because, for one, I can't wait to share it all with you after all my natter about it, and also, it will be the first time I set it all up on a bed and and see how it all works together...

I'm leaving you with photos I quickly took this weekend of some of the pillowcases from my bedding set and I hope to be back before the end of the week with snapshots from the lake ('can't wait to see what's going on in my garden!)...Thanks so much to all of you who've purchased my fabric bundles (here and here); I am sold out for now but I hope to list more in about a week or so... Thanks for popping by and, to all of you Canadians, Happy Canada Day!...

All so lovely. I wonder if you'll offer a pattern for the beautiful crocheted cushions? I keep coming back to those lovely squares!!!

[Rene' Ann Casteel]

The crochet edgings on the pillow cases are beautiful. Like turning back time when Grandmothers use to put edging on pillow cases. Very lovely. Thanks for the ideas. Are you going to share the crochet patterns anytime soon in the future. Thanks for sharing the lovely work. Rene' C....Spokane, WA.

[Alberta O'Connor]

That's exactly what I wondered. Will you be sharing the edging of the pillowcases with us. Thanks, akoconnor

[Carol Mungo]

Love your pillowcases and the edging just sets each of them off, how special is that......,please share the edging with all of us..... Thanks Carol M whiting, New Jersey

[Tiffany]

How can I get some of these? They are so pretty

[Polyana]

How can I to buy your work?

[Linda]

How do you get the holes to start crouching?

[Roxann Regenstreif]

I also love your pillowcases! I don't crochet but was wondering if I could purchase some of your pillowcases with the edgings? I wish you were my neighbor! Thank you so much!

[Florence]

I am wanting to make some lace edging for my granddaughter. Do you have a pattern for these edgings?

[Patsy]

Where can I get the patterns for your edging? I am new to this and I love trying new stitching. Thanks

[Angelique Andrade]

These are beautiful. Is this a craft group that's in the circuit during the summer? You'll go world-wide in case you've the time to hand stitch such lovelis. Stay healthy, happy and, judging by your work, already sucessful.

[Connie Edwards]

I, also, would like to know how you got the holes into the fabric at equal increments.

Also, do you have the patterns for all of the crocheted edgings?

I would love to make these as Christmas gifts.

Thank you, in advance,

Connie Edwards
