Rosettes

Maggie Fair

2010-06-14T08:28:00.001-07:00

Next weekend is Garmouth's annual Maggie Fair. This year they are running a pet show and have asked me to make the rosettes.

Rosettes are for 1st-3rd in 7 fun classes.

As most of the entrants will be children I thought we'd go with bright colours (and I love the star ribbon which was bought in for another order).

Above are for Best Pet, Best Dog and Best In Show.

Best In Show

Good luck to all entering, have a great time!

Oh Fair Maiden.....

2010-06-07T14:24:00.001-07:00

This is Fairmaid, Sabinhay Fairmaid to be precise..........owned, handled and adored by Christine Hartland. Fairmaid is almost nine but that doesn't stop her strutting her stuff at the world's most famous dog show...at Crufts 2010 she came second in Veteran Bitch!!

As a memento of such a great achievement Christine asked me to make a special rosette. We went with a blue theme as it was a second place....and gold as it was such a special second place.

I went slightly over the top with this rosette and thoroughly enjoyed making it........thanks so much Christine for entrusting me with such a project, a very special rosette for your very special girl....i'm glad you like it xx

You've Been Framed!

2010-05-13T06:43:00.000-07:00

Remember the wedding rosette I made a while ago?

Well the happy couple emailed me to say they had had it framed! I am so happy they liked it enough to give it a lovely frame and hang it in their living room....makes me all warm and fuzzy :o)

Golden Girl

2010-03-07T04:12:00.000-08:00

Becky Saunderson of Crobeag Golden Retrievers will be travelling down to Crufts with her family where she is entered into the Junior Handling with her dog Whisper. Her Mum Esmé asked me to make a Good Luck rosette for her...and of course, it had to be GOLDEN!

As the rosette is a surprise, I can't publish this until the show but still wish Becky the very best of luck on the day, i'm sure this won't be the only rosette she'll come home with!

Banff, Moray & Nairn CC Christmas Rosettes

2009-12-14T12:00:00.000-08:00

We have a match at BMN before we break for Christmas and I was delighted to do the rosettes again.

I asked for a colour suggestion and someone said purple, so purple & gold seemed festive enough.....and I got to use the last of my gold ribbon!

I like to try different effects so this time I wrapped some of the purple tiers in gold pillow pleats.

The club is splashing out and there seems to be something for everyone this time....we even have a ribbon for best down-stay!

The one with turquoise tail is the Best of the Rest rosette, we only remembered about it once the printed tails had already been ordered.

Good luck to everyone at the match tonight!

Spey Valley Christmas Party

2009-12-01T19:00:00.000-08:00

I was asked by Spey Valley DTC to do the rosettes for the Christmas party next week.

The order was two sets of 1st-6th place, not very festive as it was quite short notice but I got to use up alot of ribbon I already had.

Best Goldfish in Bowl?

2009-11-27T12:28:00.000-08:00

Well, I never thought i'd see the day i'd be making rosettes for goldfish! When a friend's neighbour's little girls asked her why you didn't get ribbons for fish she couldn't resist asking me and I was delighted to make them ......twice up and down and then once around the bowl please!

I thought i'd try something different with the printed tails so I cut them short and set them off-centre. (Caitlin and Pizza are the fish's names!)

Hope you like them, little girls!

Rosette For a Sick Friend

2009-11-25T14:41:00.000-08:00

This rosette was made for a dog club friend who recently became very ill and was rushed into hospital. She was on a ward where flowers were not permitted so the club thought we should send a rosette instead.

Awards For Bloggers!

2009-10-22T06:18:00.000-07:00

The Four Musketeers recently held a contest entitled Mr Dog and Miss Beauty 2009 and are hoping this can be an annual event.

Their owner, Amanda asked me to make a rosette for each of the winners....my first overseas order, these were mailed all the way to Singapore before being forwarded to their winners.

Well done to Tank and Domi!

Club Match

2009-09-28T16:22:00.001-07:00

I got a phonecall earlier on today asking if I could make four rosettes for a club match this evening, so these were done short notice and with ribbon I already had, no printed tails as they need to be ordered!

L-R: Best Puppy, Reserve BIM, Best Veteran and Best in Match

I have quite a bit of gold lurex ribbon left over from the wedding rosette so I used it on these, along with some tartan, I think it goes quite well.

Wedding Rosette

2009-09-27T06:50:00.000-07:00

This rosette is extra special....it was made to commemorate the wedding of two friends :o)

Roseisle Companion Show

2009-08-28T06:38:00.000-07:00

These are for the companion show at Roseisle next weekend, for full details of classes, times etc. see Spey Valley's blog.

This show supports Hearing Dogs for Deaf People so if you're in the area pop in for some homebakes and raffles and if you have your dog with you why not enter, it's for a great cause.

Pink & Tartan

2009-08-28T06:02:00.000-07:00

Using the Anderson tartan again (it goes with everything, esp. pink!) these are for a recent order....not a dog show!

Tartan Rosettes for a Club Match

2009-08-28T03:00:00.000-07:00

These were for a club match, again for Spey Valley.

The black and white used is Anderson Tartan.
