"pillow of the week" at BeColorful!

My pillows and Etsy shop were graciously featured on BeColorful!!

 How awesome is that to have a "pillow of the week"! She also paints amazing furniture, not to

mention she's a cute little, sassy girl!! Thank you so much!

You must go there. now.



snowed in projects

with all this cold weather & snow & having to stay in (because of  the

weather and taking care of two sick girls-blech!), I've been able to get

some things done. This is one of them...

I spent hours dying and drying coffee filters in the oven.

{my family keeps asking why are we having filters for dinner}

trying to achieve the perfect shades of blush-y pink and coffee-stained cream

hung with off-white vintage-y looking seam binding

I think it was worth the effort...

love it

I'll be adding one to my shop

& putting one in Millie's room

feelin' the LOVE

are these cute or what?! Yes, I know they are...I love them.

I made a set for the booth at Serendipity Market and I'm making a set for my Etsy shop...

and I think I'll have to whip up a set for my 13-year-old's room(they look pretty 

cute on her bed, don't ya think? :) 

fun, new frames in my shop!

I'm slowly adding these

to my Etsy shop!

I just love them and the best part is....nothing to break!

I love to have pictures on low tables but I've had numerous frames break and then you have

broken glass to deal with...

The simplicity also adds to it's charm but the fancy bow with buckle

gives it a twist.

Go on, give it a peek :)

these little goodies will make you a better cook..

Okay, well maybe not. But, they will be fun to look at while you do slave away over a hot stove!

They're now available in my Etsy shop!

my shop is blooming

I just recently listed some new fabric flower pins/corsages and I'm so excited about them!

I LOVE the way this one turned out...it's made of a muted blush-y,

almost peachy pink chiffon fabric.

I listed it without a pin or clip, that way you could tell me what you want

or add your own!

look how cute it would look on a multiple chain/pearl necklace!

I can't tell you how much I love this fabric, I think I'll go buy the rest of the bolt!

I also listed a multi-textured black flower with a pin back. I used satin, tulle,

and pieces of a mohair sweater!

~like how I made my daughter be my model?!~

It will be fab for this fall/winter with the sweater-y texture...

and super cute on a long strand of beads as well!

go on, get them for a gift...or for yourself :)

new shop item & a project

  I listed these in my shop! Sooo cute with jeans and a tee!

they make a great gift too!

I've been playing with a new project using this stuff....

care to guess what I'm doing with it?

fun new linky party!

One of the coolest blogs I follow is trying out a new linky party! Remodelaholic is allowing those of us with Etsy shops to post a link to our shops for free! This is REALLY helpful to gain more exposure and free publicity! Plus, it's a great way to find other shops that you may not have known existed. So if you have a shop, get on over there and list it! Grab one of these cute buttons too!

vintage spoons tea-towel

I just listed my new vintage spoons tea-towel in my Etsy shop!

I just love the vintage image of the spoons! So cute for the kitchen!

the French Psalm pillow...

is now added to my shop and I've already sold one and shipped it off to it's new home today! I can do a different verse or saying. I love how the words look old, like an old French feedsack cloth that's been around forever.

Etsy shop finally up & running!

Ugh! I am such a blogging loser! I've just been super busy trying to get my Etsy shop up and running (along with homeschooling my girls, laundry, yada yada) but I finally have a couple things listed and am working on more. Here are the items I have listed so far!

and here are some I'm planning to list soon...

faux grain sack pillow with French Psalm (I plan to do custom ones with the verse of your choice)
