catch up and christmas treasures

 Happy Monday!

Hope that you had a lovely weekend! Thank you for all your sweet support on my Christmas items for the shoppe! There's still some goodies left and this will be my last year making the vintage tablecloth half dresden tea towels, so get one while you can! ;) 

Well, I caught up on my blocks for Donna's Quilt Sampler this weekend. I really love how they are all turning out and can't wait to see them together in a quilt! 

 These last couple weeks I have been trying to hunt for some Christmas treasures at the local thrifts stores, and was super excited to find my first knee hugger elf and a plastic sparkly "Merry Christmas" sign!

  

Isn't he just so cute!! I have plans to add some prettiness to the plastic sign and use it in my Christmas wreath this year.  

 I also purchased online some vintage Sparkle Christmas mica snow from the 40's, which I am just loving the box graphics.

 One lucky day I stumbled across a bag filled with these gorgeous Christmas corsages for under $2! I was so excited when I got home to take them all out and see how sweet each one was!

 The angel with her horn is so precious, and the blue and silver one is so pretty!

And, the Santa is just the cutest and that one is the only one that says "made in Japan" on the back, so I am not sure if the other ones were handmade or purchased. I love them, and look forward to having them out for Christmas, and maybe even wear one. I know, crazy, but I love this kitchy goodness! 

 

 At an estate sale I came across some sweet Santa napkins, and plastic poinsettia's, which I have been collecting in hopes to make a wreath out of all of them.

 

 And,I also found some lovely vintage pot holders and tin molds, which are really coming in handy with storing sequins and other small craft goodies!  

  So, now that the shoppe items are done, my Christmas gifts and projects can start! Yay! There are a few projects from The Workbasket magazines that I want to try including the wreath ornament and poinsettia brooches.

 But, the first project I will be making are felt stockings! I have been wanting to make vintage style felt stockings for awhile and been eying all the sweet vintage ones, so I am setting out this week to give them a try!

Thank you for always brightening my day,and wishing you a most lovely and creative week! And, for those of you in the states, may you have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving!

a halloween clown, treasures, and a little break

A Happy Halloween and day to you! 

Isn't this Halloween Clown so cute! It is from the October 1954 Workbasket magazine. It would be fun to embroider this on a tea towel or pot holder! ;) 

Thank you all so much for your sweet comments on my last post on my kitchen shelf and quilt block! And, I apologize that I have been so quiet in visiting with you this week. Life has been busy and I have been working hard on my Christmas items for the shoppe. :)

Well, I did take some time to make block 3 for Donna's Quilt Sampler! I really love the spool and it was super easy to make and so pretty!

 A couple weeks ago I found some vintage Christmas treasures at the thrift store. 

 Cute Santa mugs, a Season's Greetings crepe paper roll, and...

 all these fun goodies! I am looking forward to using them in crafts and decorating this year. 

 My sweet friend Sherri sent me these neat Workbasket magazines!! Thank you so much Sherri! I love them both! 

And, this is a sneak peak at my prototype for one of my Christmas embroidered tea towels that will be in my shoppe very soon! 

I am going to take a little blogging break to focus on getting all my Christmas items finished and put in the shoppe hopefully by the end of the second week of November. I am looking forward to you seeing it all! I will be peaking in and visiting with you as much as I can! ;)

Wishing you all a beautiful and crafty start to November! I will be back soon! xo

a busy kind of week

 Happy Sweet Day!

Hope that you are having a lovely week so far! It has been quite busy for me and it feels the days are just flying by. The weather has been so beautiful these last few days, and it is always hard not to go out and enjoy it! Have you been enjoying some wonderful weather, too? 

Well, I made my second block for Donna's quilt sampler which you can find here and I am still just loving these Sidewalks prints! I actually messed up on this block and after some help from Donna (thank you!), I got it right, but didn't take a new photo. It is always the points that I seem to cut off! I am still learning, and I do love the process of it all! Thank you Donna for a sweet block! 

 Awhile back I bought this shelf at an estate sale, and I finally got it up in my kitchen! I am still playing around with putting things in it, and I am really looking forward to decorating it for Christmas! And, yes, I am eager for Christmas decorating and the season to begin as it is my favorite. 

I dressed up this cute little silver tinsel tree for Halloween using some vintage images from sweet Meri (thank you Meri), along with some black and white scrapbook circles that I punched out. 

I still need to make a little skirt for the tree, but for now a fall vintage hankie will do! 

 And, some peaks at the vintage Christmas pillow covers I am working on for the shoppe! 

It will be a busy next few weeks trying to get everything done, so if I get a little quiet, you'll know I am busy working away in my workshop! 

And, these gorgeous fabrics came this week from the sweet Shay of Simply Sweet Fabrics!!    Oh, how I can't wait to make some pretties with these! 

With the cooler evenings it has been nice to work on my ripple blanket again, and it always keeps me warm as I work on it. What sweetness are you working on this week?

Wishing you all a beautiful and crafty rest of the week! And, thank you for stopping by! You always make my day brighter! I look forward to catching up with you! xo
