...a lovely surprise!

...a few posts back...

...I showed a lovely little bundle of goodies from Lisa at Mudhound Studio.


Now...

...I have a problem with such beauties....

..like not wanting to undo the darned things!


But, I managed to overcome the deep desire to just look at it and go....

..."Ahhh"...

...took the plunge...

...and unwrapped and untied.


Look what I found in the middle....


..a lovely little piece of printed fabric stitched to the stiffening card!







It says "castle in the air".


I just HAD to use it straight away...

...so, the last couple of days have been spent stitching he various strata....





..this one uses the deep lace from the bundle...





..that go to make this whole...








A fantasy in "pale Burgundy" :-)


p.s.....I HAVE straightened-up that wonky bit of braiding on the right!



(I may not be around here much for the next few weeks....people visiting...people to visit...etc .....and some quiet, creative time is calling......that is much needed :-)
