Tomorrow I'm hoping in the car with my mama, granny, nephew & stepdad, and we're going on vacation! Whew. We're headed for our family's cabin in the mountains. I'm looking forward to peach ice cream, blackberry cobbler, swimming in the creek, browsing the flea markets, and picking Queen Anne's Lace for the dinner table. I'll report back next week-- hopefully with pictures. Be well!
When my granny moved out of her house last year (after breaking her hip-- so traumatic for our family!), I was so fortunate to be the recipient of most of her fabric stash. I inherited several very large pieces of wonderful linen (including this pumpkin colored one here), as well as some old doilies and beautiful pieces of antique lace. She is so pleased that someone wanted her stuff, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Win-win!
I had so much fun working on this, but then I cut it too small to be the pillow top it was intended for. Any ideas for what I could make with it now?
Too bad there aren't any gnomes in Florida.
Freezer-paper stenciling is my new favorite easiest craft in the world. I tried it a few years ago, but I have no idea why I didn't stick with it. It is so fun! And easy! My weekly art night friends and I gave it a go last week and we've all been scouring our homes for boring clothes, linens, or anything that will hold still that could use just a little something.
