Sewing Caddy

Here is my new sewing caddy.  I looked into my lace box to find just the right pieces to create it. I used a mix of old and new materials. I love white and off white. The pictures doesn't show all of the detail from the vintage linens.  There is a lot of detail and texture in this piece.

 

 

 

                                                                            

Treasures

Here are some of my hidden treasures that I had in a box. I took an old shutter and decided to display them so that I can see them everyday. Now it is ready to add to my studio.

Hand Embroidery

I found some of the cutest quilted Christmas ornaments at a little shop near my home. I have not hand embroidered in a while. It was so much fun and turned out beautiful. I am going back to get more. I am getting a jump on Christmas next year. Yes!  The best part they were 50% off.
 

Back to the Real World

I spent the day at  teacher in-service. I think I could get use to staying home and creating things. I  been have working on my studio/My Creative Space. Here is the start. I have big plans.

                                                                          

My Last Day

This is my last day of my Christmas break for this school year. Tomorrow it is back to teachers meetings. I have loved my time off. It snowed on Christmas which I can't remember it ever doing. I had great food with family. Most important everyone was healthy and together. It was a great Christmas! I am truly blessed!  With coffee in hand I am trying to decide what to do today???? Something fun!

New Year

I had a nice time today visiting with my mom and sister. We looked through my Nanny's buttons. Though she has been gone for  while we still have pieces for her such as her buttons still on the cards. I have spent many hours looking through her button box as a child. I would also go to town with her and spend time looking for cards of buttons that matched. Good Times!
