Congratulations ladies!

The weather has been gorgeous on the prairie. I have been working in the yard, and spending time in the studio, (cleaning and rearranging). The pheasants are having the time of their life running through my trees, and the Mallard ducks have found many nearby ponds in which to swim. God's beautiful world is glorious. 

Have a blessed week!

Flocked Wallpaper

My hearts a flutter.

Why you ask.

Take a look.........vintage flocked wallpaper. Need I say more? These gorgeous velvety beauties were purchased from Donna Layton at Under the Red Roof.


Beautiful blue, glamorous black, and creamy yellow are my momentary favorites.

I have also found some reproduction flocked papers.

What do I create with these gorgeous papers?
A sea of journals and photo albums for an upcoming show,

soft pink keepsake boxes embellished with German scrap and vintage jewels,


a pink and taupe keepsake box,

picture frames,

and a pink and blue journal.

New Decor, celebrate Mom & Baby!

I have been working on some decor for a baby shower. The color theme is black and soft pink. I really enjoyed this order as the colors are delightful. The first item is a crown for the new mom. A vintage pink jewel is displayed front and center on a paper medallion.

There are ribbons, tiny flowers, and glittery letters on this crown.

This bunting has quite a few flags of pink, black and white that spell out the baby's name in silver glitter. A journal/guestbook/photo album is embellished with vintage wallpaper, ribbon, and a little bling! A little redecorating has been going on at Pink Heaven. The sitting room has a fresh coat of soft blue paint, furniture has been recovered, and a new coffee table is afoot! The room isn't finished yet. I'm still waiting for two french chairs with whitewashed arms and white cane backs. I'm also sewing window treatments, so I better get to work!

I chose a creamy white embossed fabric for the couch. The chair is a blue and taupe damask fabric.

A white pumpkin is added to a side table for a little seasonal decor.

Love how the mirrors look on the icy blue walls.

 

Blessings, Ele

Pincushions and Garden Art

Lately, I've been fascinated with pin cushions, so when I found this Victorian shoe in an antique store, I knew just what to do with it!



After I made this, I started to do a little research on antique pin cushions. Little did I realize that this pin cushion idea is as old as the hills! I found a lot of pictures of antique pincushions with porcelain figurines incorporated into the design. My favorite are the fancy ladies. Just another example that sometimes "new" ideas aren't really new.


A little extra bling for the pin keeper.

A picture for my real life friend, farm chick, a yo yo pin cushion!


I have been making altered art journals for my shop for a few years now. I just had to include this photo, as I think they look yummy.

The flower gardens are looking great this year.
