Playing With Textiles....



I started playing again in my ever growing collection of antique French textiles this past week. And also put my coveted sewing table to good use...here are some of the fruits of my labor as of late....



















...and a little old bird flew into my designs too...





All of these old sewn textures and the little bird coming to my Etsy shop this afternoon...


Hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful Spring-like weather we are having!
More vintage bejeweled goodies coming up very soon.

Rhinestone Fever...



I got bit! 
I got bitten by the rhinestone bug bad this past week! I started playing in my rhinestone collection and went a little rhinestone crazy with my designs this past week. It looks like Liberace's old dressing room in my studio and on my work table...here is a little look at what spilled out of my rhinestone frenzy the last few days....
























All of these pieces coming to my Etsy shop tomorrow, (Sunday) evening.


Oh, and check this sweet little thing out...


It's my newest photo prop.... it was actually an old wedding cake topper,
adorable isn't it?..?...?




Au revoir mes amis!!!!

Getting Organized...


You know how one project always leads to about 20 or so more? Well that's what I got into this past week when my new sewing table arrived! Oh my Lord, organizing the corner for my new sewing spot led me to the week long project of organizing the other 3 corners in my little and very crowded art room....here's a peek at how far I got...


...and of course, then my shipping department had to be re-worked...


Oh happy joy! I can finally see my shipping table again...it has been so cluttered for the past few months and it is so nice to be able to use it again....



...and then that led me over to my 'bling' corner....


all sparkly things finally got corralled into one spot....



...and hat boxes were organized with lots of vintage goodies. (I'll give you a peek inside of them on another post)....



...sewing notions were sorted and "contained"....


...and here's something a little humorous....


....a clean and organized sewing drawer! It won't be like that for long. I'm sure by next week, I will not be able to get it closed...lol.


And, throughout all the organizing hoopla I was able to get a few very special pieces created this past week....












...they will be in my Etsy shop this evening, come and see more pictures of them there!
Oh, and expect some new sewn textile pieces in the coming days! Can't wait to get my old Singer humming again. See you back here real soon. Happy Sunday to you all!!!
