I was so beyond thrilled to get to be one of the featured
artists in Sew Somerset magazine! Oh my goodness each and every one
of the Stampington & Company magazines are just so very
beautiful with amazing photographs, ideas and articles ~
I have had so much fun making
Vintage Pocket Pillows and they
are what are in the magazine ~ WOOHOO!!!
I just listed the featured pillows at
Katies Rose Cottage for sale ~
I hope you are all having a wonderful
Christmas season so far ~
Chat with you soon!
So suddenly ( well not so suddenly, I guess ) I realize
that fall is here and winter is coming~
I am not like 99.9% of the world who love
cold weather so I am somewhat disturbed by the thought ~
Today I had plans to take some new pictures and it POURED
along with thunder, lightning and the tornado siren ~
I remember when we first moved to Texas from California .... we
would get in the bathtub with a mattress over our head for
every siren ~ It was so exciting !
That passed after the first couple of years of life here and instead
I made pocket pillows during the possible lurking tornado ~
The lighting once again stunk so I had
to take these pictures with a flash which is a TOTAL no no !
Anyhow here are some pictures of things I made and
listed during the hubbub of my workshop
flooding and the sirens blaring ~
( I don't sew in my workshop )
You can find all of this at Katies Rose Cottage ~
Do you ever have those days where your brain is going a gazillion miles
an hour with so many things you want to do and create that you
can't focus on one ..... well that is me pretty much
all of the time :)
So this morning I got up and started dyeing my new stash of
vintage laces and linens ~ Put out my sewing machine and spread
it all out pretty much all over the place ~
After I made one pillow I remembered the
sweet little baby shoes that I got so I had to embellish them with some vintage yumminess ~
Then I remembered the cute basket I got yesterday
and decided to dye and stamp some tags and ribbon to pretty it up ~
While I was taking pictures of all of this ( in the crummy rainy light ) I remembered the
Dream sign that I just got and wanted to add it to the cute
little vignette that I was photographing ~
Ohhh and then as I was digging through my Canton treasures
that held the linens and baby shoes, I remembered this
awesome bracelet !
All of this started by putting a whole day aside to work on pillows ~
So what am I doing now ...... blogging about it because I got side tracked again :)
BTW ~ these will all be on my website today .... that is my goal ~
Afternoon update .....
I got two more pillows done and listed and then got on an altered bottle side track ~ Gotta love rolled roses :)
