Happy Wednesday Eve...what a busy week so far, and much more to do coming in the next several days. Just a few things to share with you tonight....more pincushions...with sweet crocheted flowers made by my even sweeter mama. I love them...she's made me oodles just for fun, but I told her I didn't want to use them as I felt like I was sharing her and giving her away....and selfishly, I want to hold onto her forever...and her crocheted flowers too. But, because I adore them so, and they are the perfect topping to so many things, I've added a few to some new pincushions I've been making. More to come tomorrow.
Meet Emmi...
Jodie...
Karsten...
Torrey...
Bella...
Makenna...
And Madi...
All named after beautiful girls I have the pleasure of having in my life...sister-in-laws and nieces...all too far away for me to watch grow up and to watch grow as mothers, but they are always in my heart.
A card created for Emma's Paperie based on a sketch there...
You can find a supply list HERE on the Emma's Paperie blog.
Lastly, one more Gathering Kit, made for a special customer.
I used Papertrey Ink's Button Boutique stamp set and Button Card Die Collection, and the Little Bitty Bird stamp set. I also used Maya Road chipboard and trinket pins, Doodlebug glitter, millinery flowers and ribbon slide from The Little Pink Studio, vintage trim, Peony Cabbage Roses Ribbon from Memrie Mare, and a few other toppings.
Hmmm...I can't leave you without a tasty treat of some sort...how about a new-to-me foodie blog I ran across called Grandma's Desserts...I adore it...so many desserts just waitin' for me to try out....I'm especially looking forward to trying out the Oreo Delight...good night SALLY!
Night.
