hello

 Hello and a happy sweet day to you!
Hope that you are doing wonderfully and having a fabulous start to the new year! I have been busy working away on some special projects and new pretties for the shoppe.
 A new item that I have been working on are these sweet vintage inspired dresden hot pads/trivets. I went with the old way of hand stitching a circle piece of batting and fabric on the back and a blanket stitch around the center. I am really happy with how they turned out! 
 A sweet vintage feed sack in the middle adds a sweet touch to them! They were fun to make and the striped one I tried out for fun, but loved how it turned out. Might have to make a pink one, too!
 I also made a pretty dresden pillow cover that will be in the shoppe soon, too! Doilies are always my favorite to add to the center to add a vintage touch!
This sweet Royal Copley doe and fawn vase is a lovely new addition to my home that I just love! Added some vintage plastic roses in it for now until spring. I am also working on a vintage stitching of a doe and fawn in this same pose, that I hope to be finishing soon to share. 

I look forward to sharing some more projects with you and will be having a shoppe update in early February. Thank you for stopping by and visiting with me! 
            Wishing you a most lovely weekend! xo

    I just love that pillow! I would love to learn how to do the crochet edging. Do you know of a tutorial or book that teaches how to make such a lovely edge?

      Hi Lori,
      I don't know of a tutorial or book. I just crocheted a blanket stitch around the pillow and then did a scallop trim. There might be one online that is similar for pillowcases. ;) Hope that helps! xo Heather

    Hope you have a wonderful day.
