Alittle of this... a little of that

Don't you just HATE it when you work your butt off on something only to be disapointed in the way it turns out?   I had such a time this week.   I created this beautiful sage green and brown monogrammed garter .   This Fabric was so pretty on the roll and it sewed up fine .... BUT, when it came time to have it gathered for the elastic, the fabric got all weird on me.   (This sort of thing just makes me so frustrated. ) Now I won't be using this sage fabric for this design any longer...

  In any event - the garter design itself is so pretty.   Very earthy and natural with the colors used.   I love it. 

The beautiful dress tag I created recently came out lovely.   I was very pleased with it, so that's a good thing  :)  It said   "Today a bride, tomorrow a wife" with the date below.   I created a modern clean looking border for it and coordinated the light and dark blues to match with her wedding colors.
