Thank you all so much for you sweet comments on my estate finds! It was a good weekend for treasures!
It has been a busy week of creating, planning a new line of products for my shoppe, and hanging out with sweet friends. The weather finally cooled down and it has been so lovely outside. I need to enjoy these days, as summer is just around the corner. Hope you have had some wonderful weather, too!
I was able to get one flower done, and the bowl is full of little squares ready to be made into a sweet purple one. I think my goal is 12 flowers, so I have 7 more to go and then it will be adding all the white hexies to connect the flowers.
Some progress is being made on my ripple blanket. I am going to be doing a grey and mint green stripe next, and then repeat the other colors until it is the right length. I look forward to it being done, but it was hard to crochet on those hots days, so hopefully the cool weather will last!
I have been working on some vintage tea towels for the shoppe that will be listed next week. These are the last ones of these pretty tablecloths!
And, I have been busily working on some plans for a new line of vintage inspired embroidered kitchen items that I have had in my mind for awhile. So, I have been collecting cute vintage patterns and I am excited to get started on this new line. I hope to be showing you these kitchen goodies soon! So, if my blog gets a little quite you'll know why. ;)
I am also in the process of making a couple more clothespin bags one with the sweet kittens washing their mittens, and another darling cross-stitch kitty pattern. There is just something about those cute kittens that just makes me smile! How about you?
A pretty packaged arrived yesterday from the lovely Holly of Cutie Pie Cottage. We did a fun garland swap, and this beautiful button ball garland is what she sent me!! I just love the pretty colors and fabrics, and those cute buttons!! Thank you so much Holly for sending me such a sweet garland!
Wishing you a most lovely and crafty weekend!
Loving all your projects :) The ripple blanket is fab, I keep saying I would like to learn to crochet but haven't yet got round to it. Sounds like you're having some lovely weather over here its just rain, rain and more rain!
ReplyDeleteHi Heather..what gorgeous things you are making at the moment. You're a lucky duck receiving that button ball garland too...a beautiful swap!
ReplyDeleteHello sweet Heather and happy Friday to you too!! I love your quilt flower, it is coming along beautifully. As for the ripple blanket (one of the many projects on my list to do next), well its looking FAB. I love the colours that you chose. Apparently there is something quite therapeutical about working a ripple?! The teatowels are gorgeous, I love the fabrics. I am trying to make some at the moment as I am hoping to have a little stall at a craft night in Nov (health permitting!). The kittens are so gorgeous, I adore them. Sweet button garland too. Enjoy your weekend and I look forward to seeing you kitchen creations. xo

You are so busy with so many fabulous projects, you talented lady! Your package arrived already. Love those Texas-sized popcorn bags.

Hugs!

ReplyDeleteI am fascinated with your ripple blanket and look forward to seeing how it looks the next time you share, I like the thought of the grey being incorporated. It is going to be so very pretty when it's all done.

Love your latest hexie flower....such pretty colours and fabrics. Your ripple is coming along well....they are rather warm to work on (not a problem here in the chilly UK at the moment though, am quite glad of mine!) Love your sweet kitties! And such a lovely fabric bead necklace in your swap...I would love one too :)
