Something Different

 
Christmas is over! Time to change some areas of the house. Do you ever look around and want to change things up? I do it a lot. I will look at other blogs or Pinterest for inspiration. Hope this gives you some ideas.

Lace, Lace and More Lace

As I was looking at other blogs, I saw how to create a table runner by over laying your lace pieces. I dug in my treasure box and put together this runner. I love it!. You just hand stitch these together on the back. Something old becomes new.

Coffee

I love my coffee in the morning. Really I can drink coffee almost anytime. After coming home from my last visit to a Bed and Breakfast, I put together my small coffee bar. It has all the things I need to make a perfect cup of coffee. Every time I see it I smile. It makes me happy.

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.
