September Whatevers and the story of Edna and the puffed sleeves ...........

 

 

I am really enjoying The Whatevers - Creative Story Telling.  This month's photograph is rather stunning, but I was really unsure what to do with it.  Then I noticed the puffed brocade sleeves on the dress and I was away! Which also coincided very nicely with Astrid's Friday Freebie - beautiful Victorian ribbon spools.  Thank you Astrid!

 

 

So here is my story:

 

 

Edna couldn’t quite clear the smile from her face. She felt smug and didn’t care who knew it.  

It was the dress – oh the gorgeous dress which she had made! Sending to Edinburgh for the heavy brocade material and then carefully trying to cut out the pieces to copy the dress design she had seen in the Edinburgh Advertiser. 

What had pleased her most were the puffed shoulders with the brocade trim – even now she couldn’t believe she had managed it.  

But best of all was Olaf’s suggestion that they have their photograph taken to show off the bonny frocks she had made - for yes she had also made Kirstaine’s as well. Her best sewing efforts recorded – for ever more. That made her very happy.
 

 

I am really loving my Dylusions Sprays and have been inking up a few pages so I have got plenty to play with.  Here I've used London Blue and Vibrant Turquoise and a bit of the next page red seeped through!  Embellishments were all from the little pile of "bits" that have accrued over the last couple of weeks in the corner of my desk, so it was great to use them up without diving into any stash.

 

Do click the link HERE to go to Catherine's blog and the Whatevers link and enjoy her wonderful take on these photographs.  You will certainly smile at the way she changes the photographs giving them wonderful hairdos and great clothes. 

 

Thank's for stopping by and enjoy the weekend.
