New Clothes

Made these little pants with some scrap gingham fabric i had left over and the cuff of some OLD Lilly pajama pants that i have had for almost 10 years.
Smocked this last spring and the the plate was too large for baby. Saved it to make a little swing dress for her and its PRECIOUS on....
This is AC's slip to her easter dress, mom did some shadow work so this can be worn with a bonnet for her 18 month pictures.

I just adore how full the skirt is.

DIY Pillow

As many of you know i have been in the process of redoing my bedroom. A little bit at a time so it may be a while before i am finished.

oh wow... this pillow is great. i think i shall print screen it. Showed it to the hubs, his response "cool, you gunna make that yourself??" Sure am was my reply!!!

Bought some Linen fabric from Hobby Lobby and a couple squares of off white felt.

Hand drew the images, sewed them on, finished the egdes.
and Voila, a few short days later here she is. I purposely off set the birds to make them look as if they were flying to each other to kiss. Very pleased with how it turned out.

My Bedding at College

This is where it all began, my love for fine bedding. I have always drooled over the Pottery Barn catalog and i finally broke down and ordered my sheets, quilt, and shams from there. Then i made my journey over to Calico Corners to see Ms. Judy Tumberbrink. (she is my fabric guru i always go to when i shop there) Here is what i made. All the pillows in red and its variants are my work. The rest is due credit to the all wonderful Pottery Barn!!

dont you just adore monogrammed sheets?? I know i do!!

The Makings of a Portfolio

Cool thing happened last night. Ran into a sweet lady in the thread isle at Joann's yesterday and she has an applique company and her business has really taken off and is looking for people to help her with the work. Of COURSE i was interested.

Hopefully i will be able to help her. After we talked i started looking around my house at all the diy projects i have completed over the years and thought i should pick up and begin blogging about them.

Stay tuned over the next few days as i showcase previous projects. Fell free to ask for tutorials. I will be glad to begin those...

Countdown till friday when we are having our internet connected at home!!!! cant wait.
