home sweet home

Happy Sweet Friday! 
I finished my little project for my home last night, and really love how it turned out. I have been wanting to do some cross stitch for awhile, so I decided to do "Home Sweet Home" and make a mini quilt to hang. 
One great thing about make vintage tea towels from tablecloths is that I always have left over pieces to create with, which I love! 
 I am also lovin' crocheted edgings, and thought it would be the perfect finishing touch to this sweet piece. I used a smaller hook and thread for the edging, and my hands were hurting by the time I was done. I'm always so amazed how sweet ladies crocheted with tiny hooks and thread to make doilies, and crocheted those beautiful edges on tablecloths or runners I am always on the hunt for. They were truly talented!
 I have many black and white fabrics in my stash that I love, but for some reason don't use them often. I really need to start using them more, because I like how it looks! 
 Today is a little overcast, so sorry for the darker photos! I am enjoying the clouds and cool breeze, though! Hopefully it will stay through the weekend! 

*I have a little update on my shoppe. I have opened up a new shoppe over at the wonderful Storenvy, which I would love for you to visit! I have some other fun things to update you on, which I will do next week! 

Wishing you all a beautiful and creative weekend!!
