I'd love to be able to crochet as well as Annabel does (she can crochet without looking at her work....whhhhaaaat???), but alas that skill eludes me. Sewing sequins is slow, but ultimately for me, very rewarding, so sequins it is :) Love, Mimi xxxMimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12189100084557458199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492903313028603031.post-9954122012558316142015-08-26T14:10:10.442+10:002015-08-26T14:10:10.442+10:00Thankyou Stephanie.

If you can let me know, I can put the correct link in, because it is just stunning. Yes, it will be worth it, I know, but lots of work! I actually think keeping it on the bed as I bead it, is a good thing. It's there in front of me all the time, and not only can I see the progress, but if I have fifteen minutes, I can just do a few and that's just one step closer. I have some tassels too, but they're more gold-ish, and I'm not sure I'm going to use them. I think it's a thing that sort of morphs over time really.

Chloe also only mentioned today how she loves here! <br />It will look great. I found it surprising how much I had to add to get it rich and thick enough. But I got it done! I did rows of sequins, rows of silver braid, rows of fluff... tassels in the corners... oh and rows of velvet ribbon. bit of a saga! <br />I hope you will show the end result. It will be gorgeous and so worth it. <br />Rome wasnt built in a day... it took me good few months solid.<br />But its an heirloom I figure!<br />I hope you had a lovely weekend and have a great week!
