Ruching Adventure

Sunday already! It was a busy, busy week last week. Tuesday saw the launch of Tudor Tuesdays SAL blog  and my local EGA meeting.  Diane S gave a great program on ruching. Diane is a great teacher and gave us lots of ideas. Thank you, Diane!


Of course, the ruching made my head explode with all sorts of ideas on finishes I could do.

Remember Mary Mouse (freebie from Brookes Books?).  Here she is done up in a Christmas ornament, complete with ruching and little pearl pins - to be given to a sweet little girl for Christmas ;0) (HINT: She just turned one year old this past Thursday).


Here's the back of the ornament with a fussy cut - couldn't resist.

Have a great day!!!

    The ruching is perfect for surrounding that mouse-erina! And that was an inspired idea to go with the fussy cut panel. Don't know if the one year old will appreciate it, but I'm sure the Mommy will!

    Dinae is a very good teacher with lots of knowledge and ideas to share. She taught at the evening meeting as well.
