Coral and Blue Hydrangea

A quiet, rainy laundry day.  I don't have a whole lot of time for crafting today, but I wanted at least to get a small start on my next project.


I was thrilled to discover that I have enough of my coral silk left to make a Sorbetto!  Yes, I'm a copy-cat! Do you think it will make me look as gorgeous as Sarai?  I hope so!

I think I'm one of very few people who really enjoy making bias tape.  That little gizmo is just so much fun!  And then I wrap it on an empty toilet paper roll, because I'm classy.

Last night, I did up my nails in my favorite light blue:  Blue Hydrangea by Nubar.  It has a lovely subtle sheen on its own, but I decided to top it off with some Essie As Gold as it Gets.  I really love the effect:


And it looks nice with my bias tape too!

    I ♥ making bias tape. Though I have not used TP roll but rather empty ribbon spools.
    Your nails today will look great with your coral silk.

      I'm not classy enough to have empty ribbon spools!

    That's a genius use for a tp roll! And that looks way better than mine - is it's still flat?

      Sorry - badly worded. I mean, have you folded the ends over (I cant tell if that's the full size of the strip or half the size with 2 edges folded towards the centre. Does that make sense?

      Aha! Yes, it's been folded already in these pictures.

    I love that nail combo. I am absolutely convinced that As Gold As It Gets looks good on everything.
