scallop admiration

Are you loving the scalloped edges popping up everywhere at the moment? I am, especially after seeing my friend Anna's gorgeous homemade scallop shaped bunting for her daughters bedroom. And then on Facebook later that day I saw these cute scallop treat boxes from the lovely new party product store Dots and Spots which gave me the idea to do a little scallop admiration post.

and here are a few tutorials as well...

Scallop cushion tutorial from Paper, Scissors and Superheroes

After all that inspiration I just had to do some scallop crafting of my own so I made a little purse to hold craft supplies and a pin cushion and needle book for a friend's birthday. Think I may have gilded the lily a bit with my decoration but I guess that's what happens when you are making it up as you go along!
(If you like the look of the blue 'vintage threads' fabric I bought it from Stitchbird Fabrics.)

Last day to sign up for the Rugby World Cup country swap tomorrow! Have had lots of overseas people sign ups this week thank you so hopefully will be able to match up nearly all the kiwi swappers with an overseas swapper :)
