Purple Roses Hanging Pillow

It was so terribly windy yesterday, Peggy and I decided not to walk.  But for today, it looks like the wind calmed down and the sun is out so we should be able to get our mile and 1/2 walk in.

Other than that, it's a stay at home day!  I'll be putting a few miles on my sewing machine.  I want to sew up some new blocks to stitch on and I have my 4th of July door hangers to put together.  I have left over taco salad for dinner so I don't even have to cook today!

Here's a quick update on my purple roses hanging pillow:

It needs a few more do-dads so I'll sit her for a bit and finish it up.

And here are couple more of mom's hanging pillows:

Mom hand embroidered and crayon tinted the butterfly and then the strawberries are from a vintage hankie that I found at a flea market last Summer.

Hand Embroidered Pillows

When I was in WalMart today, I picked up a 3rd package of alphabet beads.  Can you believe, there is only 1 "T" in the package?  But there are 4 "X's" if not more!  What is up with that!  Does anyone need alphabet beads with the letter "X"?  I have way more than I need!  LOL!

Anyway, now I can at least finish my Marie Antoinette quilt because I finally have 3 "T's" to spell out her name!

For now, I thought I'd share a few new things that mom made.  First is her Tinted Embroidered Butterfly Pillow:

I think Mom used a vintage embroidery pattern from my collection.  Next is mom's Crocheted Bonnet Lady Pillow:

Mom used a vintage dresser scarf to create this pretty cottage accent pillow.  Notice the flower beads on the green ribbon bows!

I also added a few of my Unique Handcrafted Greeting Cards to our Boutique:

I love the soft pastel colors of vintage greeting cards and use them often to make new ones!  Of course I add lots of glitter!

Well, those are my pretties for today!  I'll get Block #9 of my Marie Antoinette quilt finished up and have a photo for you soon!
