Woooohoooo!!  We received one of our ribbon deliveries yesterday - yippeee!

What do you think of our NEW Deckchair Stripe Ribbons?  We think they are fantastic ribbons and such awesome summer colours.

25mm grosgrain with WOVEN stripes that run along the length of the ribbon.  You can find them all HERE 

Bring the beach into your home and projects with these Deckchair Stripe Ribbons.

Talking of stripes, it's that time of year again - Dorchester Carnival.  We are not as much involved this year as there is no Carnival Queen, so no float to cover in ribbon bows.  Although we have been doing a few bits and pieces for the Carnival team.  Rachie and Marten (Rachies husband) are both on the committee so where they go little Miss Mollie must follow.

All Mollie was missing was her Yellow Jacket - last years was way too small for her.  She is hard at work here trying to make the crayons stay in the pot while she pushes the trolley.

I dusted off my sewing machine for this little jacket, expecting to just whiz around the ribbon.  No such luck, sewing machine had the hump (may be I need to use it more often).  Tony took it to our local repair shop on Monday only to be told they couldn't look at it this week because of the World Cup.  Come On!  What has the World Cup got to do with mending sewing machines!!

Rachie had brought in a large yellow jacket, which I cut down to fit Mollie, then I hand sewed the luminous pink reflective ribbon around all the edges.  As you can see we have been unable to remove it from Mollie all day!

Have fun at the Carnival guys.
