Last weekend I attended a little rope vessel making and decorating
workshop by the super lovely
Gemma Patford at
Koskela. Gemma was so generous with her knowledge and gave us loads of tips and tricks! It was so lovely to sit around and have a little chat while crafting! SO much fun!!

| :: before craft attack... so inviting!!! |
 |
:: crafting attack in progress... that's me in the black and white spots
with a cool Koskela apron on :) |
 |
| :: my "Gemma Patford" inspired little painted and gold embroidered rope vessel |
I think I may have a new obsession! I couldn't wait to get home and have a go myself! I had my fingers crossed that my sewing machine was up for the job! Phew lucky it was!

:: rope vessel No.1 -attempting my first rope basket...
a little tricky at first but easy when you know how! |

my little man to house his found coins in! |

I have a feeling there will be quite a few rope vessels being made around here! LOVE it! :)
Hope you had a wonderful and creative week!
