Hi, it has been a minute. There has been a whole lot going on and I obviously have so many beautiful works to show you all and yes I am dancing in my seat right now.
My most recent project is this cute ruffle baby. It has been a while since I made our last ruffle hat so this was definitely a good one. Definitely a giddy feeling. If you did not know, making ruffle hats is one of my favorite things to make.
This was not a personal project unfortunately it was a client’s order. A male client texted me and said he wanted to give it to his friend. That it was her birthday or something but it was a congratulatory gift.
One thing that almost all my clients have taught me is giving to people. If I was not someone that usually gifts people I would have learnt by force.
They have shown me how good it is to give to even the smallest things and it gives me joy to be able to contribute to someone else's joy whether they have a personal relationship with me or not.
So he said he wanted to get it for her but did not want it to be an abstract color so it would not restrict her from wearing any outfit with it.
I understand most bright colors are restrictive because it might look pretty but you can not pair it with most of your favourite outfits.
We first thought of white since it is neutral but that color screams and we both agreed on that, so we went for black since she will like it and it will tick all our boxes.
I got to making it and yeah it felt good and as you all know my favourite part was the ruffles as usual.
We picked medium ruffles so not so big but not so small either so I did two rows of increases and then I added the last row of stitches.
This took a while though I was not a hundred percent in health so it took longer than it should have. When I finished up I sent the pictures to him and he was so happy. I got to the park, sent the parcel to them, he got it, gave it to her and I got a happy voice note.
She was so happy even said she wore it to church the previous Sunday that it was so pretty that my work is pretty. Making the piece is good but these happy reviews, especially the voice notes are a different type of happiness.
I am glad that I was able to do this for her and share in her happiness. I hope you all love It too.
