pinwheel happiness

Hello and a happy day to you!
So, this month it is my turn for the Sew Sweet Bee and I am having everyone make a pinwheel block in aqua, pink, and yellow combinations with either florals, strawberries, or cherries. I was thinking of a summery quilt. The two above are ones that I made to add to the quilt. I really enjoy making pinwheels and they are probably my favorite block to make! Well, this week has been a very happy mail week with some blocks already arriving!

This pretty block was made by lovely Pam of Pam Kitty Morning!! Isn't is so pretty! I love her sweet fabrics!

And, she also sent along some cute stickies!! Thank you so much Pam!! I love your pinwheel!!

Next up is this gorgeous pinwheel was made by the lovely Amy of A Quilting Sheep!! Isn't it pretty!!

And, she sent some sweet fabric! Thank you so much Amy! I love your pinwheel!!

And, these next two are from the sweet Renee of Sewn with Grace! Aren't they both so beautiful! The one on the right she used a gorgeous blue feed sack, which I just love!

And, she sent along some vintage transfers! Renee knows how to bring a happy smile to my face. ;) Thank you so much Renee, I love your pinwheel blocks!!

I finally got a some time to do a little makeover with these cute skunks. I just added some floral and strawberry prints, and they're done! I would like to paint the frames one day, but I think they are pretty cute as they are.

And, my next little project for the shoppe is making my own version of these darling dress clothespin bags!

Thank you for all your supportive comments on my new items! I truly love what I do! Wishing you all a beautiful and crafty week! xo

a vintage inspired clothespin bag

Happy Sweet Day!!

Hope that your week is going wonderfully! Sorry it has been quite around here, but I have been busy working and finishing up my newest project! My vintage inspired clothespin bag!! I have been wanting to make a clothespin bag for awhile, and knew those sweet kittens were the perfect start to this project. 

The pattern was inspired by the pretty vintage clothespin bags I have come across. So, after working out some kinks and mistakes, it all sweetly came together! And, I love how it turned out!

Pretty vintage lace, an emerald green crocheted hanger lovingly crocheted by me using a vintage wooden hanger, with a sweet pink variegated flower and green and cream ties, pink gingham peaking through...

and some sweet hand-stitching around those cute kitties washing their lost mittens! ;) I used mostly reproduction prints to give it a more vintagey feel, which I just love! 

And, the back sweetly adorned with some vintage lace!! It was such a fun process, and I can't wait to do some laundry or at least pretty vintage linens! ;)

Thank you so much to the most lovely Kathy of Kluless for having such a sweet Etsy shoppe with vintage laces and treasures, as I ran out of some lace trim in the process and she had what I needed to finish these pretties below! 

So, if you would fancy one for yourself, I just listed these two vintage inspired clothespin bags in my shoppe! Embroidered and hand-stitched by me with lots of love and attention to detail. They each come with their own pretty crocheted hanger and flower, and they are both adorned with delicate vintage lace. You can see more details about them here and here. So, are you ready for 'wash day'? 

Now back to my working on my hexies and ripples! What crafty goodness are you working on?

Wishing you all a beautiful rest of the week and weekend!!
