Beach Boy Basket

Yep, it's Tuesday AND there's another makeover.  In fact, it's gonna be a makeover extravaganza this week!  A new~to~me Etsy customer purchased a custom heirloom Easter basket last week.  She asked for blue, lime green, and yellow- and these are the chosen fabrics.  Believe it or not, there is a teensy bit of yellow in the center of the iris flowers on that right-hand fabric!

~*~

I used the solid blue for the base, and the stripe for the body and handle- with a double wide dose of the lime through the center.

A side bow comprised of all three fabrics sets it off perfectly!  What do you think, Tiffany?  This is ready to head out to Delaware tomorrow :)

Makeover Monday: 3/28

I'm currently working on a custom little girl's Easter basket, and this is one of the fabrics her mommy chose.

~*~

I know, this doesn't look much like an Easter basket yet. I've had a busy weekend, so we'll just have to do this makeover in two parts. I wanted to show you how this fabric worked up, though. I'll be back later in the week with the finished project!

Can you believe we're here at the last week of March? And we had snow this weekend! I'm looking forward to completing several orders this week. We also have school pictures on Thursday (I'm prepared this year, I think), and watch out for April Fool's Day on Friday! I'm expecting to hear a lot of "Mommy {giggle}, your shoe's untied!" or "Mommy {giggle}, there's a bug in the bathroom!"

How is your week shaping up? I hope you have a fabulous Monday- thanks so much for popping by :)

Easter Basket

Happy Easter! What a perfect day to share this new basket with you!

Before I left for my trip, a lovely customer wrote to ask if I could make a basket for her like the one I shared on my blog... you know, the ruffly one. I did not have the same fabric I used before, but I found this sweet "impressionist" floral that we thought would look wonderful.

~*~ I think we were right! The muted tones blend together so nicely, and the ruffle lets the colors have some pop.

I hope the Easter bunny is good to you today. See you tomorrow for Makeover Monday!
