I'm in a Pink Pillow Mood

I've been thinking about sewing lately, as "winter time" seems to be the time of year that I sew. Today, when I went outside it certainly felt like winter where I live. Here are some pink fabric yo yo-d pillows that I made last winter.



This pillow I did not make. It was a gift and smells lovely. There is a little lavender tucked inside.


Not a pillow, but to me this wall is cozy. It is the end wall of my church studio. The gable was purchased at an auction. There were actually two and I was bidding against someone else. It turned out in the end we each wanted only one, so we split the final bid. Had we known this, we would not have bid each other up!!!

China Painting

China painting, so soft and just beautiful. All of these except the round plate were painted by a great aunt.



This is a waffle set for powdered sugar and syrup

Fall and Halloween

I've been working on listing fall and Halloween items on my etsy. Here is a sneak peek.



In response to the questions on the spoons, here is a close up picture.


The end of the wire is twirled into a loop. I then continue to make a few circles around that loop. Start at the bottom and wrap the wire tightly around the spoon and secure the end piece by bending it around the next wrap. Wrap and add beads tightly going all the way up the spoon and then cross over on the way down. I have seen several variations of this. You can even add lead free soldering wire. I like to use glass beads as they are dainty, sparkley and wash well. Need more pics to make your own beaded silverware? Just e-mail me through my profile.

Tussie Mussie & Christmas in July

There has been a lot of swap creating going on in my church studio lately. The tussie mussie swap from the junk drawer and Angelina's card's Christmas in July swap are two in which I am participating. Dolly and Joy, if you want a surprise don't peek!




The tussie mussie is filled with shells, something my partner likes. I also plan to add another surprise, but I'm not telling incase she is reading this! If you look closely, you will see the handle is trimmed in aqua/green little seashells and sparkley pink beads. My favorite part is the rhinestone trim.


These are a few of the Christmas in July cards that I created for my partner. I actually created a card that isn't pink, but it does sparkle:)
