So... S is leaving for Europe tonight (so she's been busy with last minute packing), and Simon was losing some wisdom today (har har har! - he had his wisdom teeth out), so that left me on my lonesome all day...
It's really quite nice, doing nothing study-related for a change! I can report to you that I am almost up to date with the latest season of Gossip Girl, and I have started a few more DIY projects that might just make it onto the blog in due time.
But today I was feeling particularly productive, so I decided to take some inspiration from the following pictures to come up with my own take on the ribbon-rose bib necklace!

| Lots of inspiration from here!!! |
Why I came up with this idea, I really have no clue. But I think there's plenty of potential with these ribbon roses (i.e. headbands, bracelets, etc.)
 |
| Firstly I made a lot of these... (or you could buy them at Spotlight) |
 |
| Then I cut out a piece of fabric in the shape that I wanted it to be. (I had to glue a few layers together to strengthen it) |
I did think of adding some beads - perhaps I'll do that when I replace the ribbon later.
 |
| Assembling it with old-school needle & thread! |
 |
| Individually sewing on the roses - a bit time-consuming, but worth it. |
 |
| The finished piece before I sewed the ribbon on |
Et voila!
