My Creative Space

I finally got my act together and finished a few brooches for the brooch swap on Monday. Thing is I don't think they are good enough... I have decided to send 2 brooches and a badge in an effort to make up for my shortcomings. Hubby thinks I have gone mad and that there is nothing wrong with them. But I just can't agree with him...

And to keep up with my indecisive theme of the week. I can't decided which photo to show you. So I will show you a few...

  6. I know that fabric - its stunning, just made a baby quilt from it. Seems this brooch swap has thrown a few people - namely me!! You have made with heart and integrity and your work looks beautifully finished and that's the point. Yah for you!

  14. They look awesome! I started to make a second brooch as well for the swap... but I stopped myself short as I reasoned (with myself) that if I make a second one & am still not convinced that they will like it then how many will I make! So I settled on one & posted it off before I could change my mind!

  16. Hi Amy..your hubby is right..there is nothing wrong with them. You are a generous soul though and someone will be thoroughly spoiled with three of them!

  17. I think they look so great together - if they were mine I would wear them all at once!

  18. LOVE your fabric choice! The brooches look beautiful, well done!

  19. They look great to me - I sure your swap partner will love them!

    That's the danger of blogging though, isn't it? It's easy to develop a complex about whether what you've made is as good as what someone else is making. And, if I'm honest, that's why I haven't participated in any swaps yet.

  20. Nothing wrong whatsoever. The birds are cute and the brooches look really pretty!

  21. I think they're all darling and look so cute all together! I worry too that my recipient has different taste than myself but that's the fun of getting to know someone else I guess. I posted mine to the flickr pool~please let me know your opinion! Thanks!!

  22. Oh I think the're all beautiful and your partner will be pleased with any one of them. That fabric is adorable. I too am being indecisive and have made 2.

  23. Wow, these are great Amy!
    (I get the 'not good enough' thing though - mine were not so good!)

  25. Thanks Justine!

    Yours are fab! I will be wearing one today after I get out of my pj’s.

    I can’t hand stitch to save myself so I think you did really really well.

    I will be showing them off on my blog sometime this weekend. Just have to find time I have three sick kiddies here at the moment.
