I was asked to do a lace cufflet (that's what I call this)/wristlet/bracelet. When I got this far, I thought I was done until I looked at my notes and read that she also wanted ribbon streamers.
So...I added the streamers. I love the embroidery of the lace hankie I used and wanted to keep it's integrity but...
when I took it to the shop, the owner said the lady wanted little flowers on it as well. Back home and after another hour and a half of work, I had added flowers. Well, "that's not many," you may think but I also backed it with some nylon, hand stitched. I've had a cold or allergies or something for seven days up to this point and I felt horrible but wanted to get this done and mark a notch on my needle (or something like that.) Amy likes it now and thinks the lady will, too. She's also going to ask $20.00 more for it than I would because she thinks that's what the other cufflets brought. I think she's right and I'm not arguing because this one caused me grief and even though I enjoyed the process, it became stressful. Does creating do that to you sometimes? When I handed this to her today, she handed back to me a pair of shoes that this gal wants decorated, so... back to the drawing board. I'm flattered that she likes my work well enough to ask for more. That's the verification I need to keep going.
