A birthday commission

I whipped up a couple of pressies in a hurry on Friday night...

These were for my sisters husbands fathers girlfriend, or my sisters father-in-laws girlfriend, or my brother-in-laws fathers girlfriend..... anyhow, hopefully you get what I mean.

My sister found this tea towel in an oppy in Ballarat - it's perfect because the birthday girl has a black labrador.

My sister also bought her some goodies from the Lark stall at the Daylesford Makers Market - a pocket mirror and an 'I love tea' badge.

I hope she likes all her goodies!

love that dog apron :D I see dogs all the time walking around town with their trainers as there is a Guide Dog training centre in town. It so funny to see the dogs once they have their harness' off. They act like such goofs :)

I had to read it slowly .. lol .. but get who its for. The colours in that brooch really appeal to me and I have my eye on one in your shop for a friend but I'm not sure its close enough to her colours IYKWIM.

What a difference a button makes. You must have fun swirling with your machine for the preparation of the fabrics. This design of yours is as beautiful as the rest of your creations.

Of course she'll like her gifts. Where can you find tea towels like that? I need to find a site where I can order some. I love the apron. My sil has labs.

In laws, second cousins, great aunts of second cousin inlaws - I just start coming over bewildered-like. Excellent pressies nonetheless!

We have a golden lab and I can see the apron becoming a super favorite if they have a black lab!

That dog's expression kind of reminds me of Jasper. Cute apron!

The brooch colours are so different to the other ones I've seen and the one I bought...but delightful. Lisa.
