1929 Model A Photos

We had pouring rain Saturday night and got some water in our garage.  Scott pulled the Model A out so he could clean things up and let the garage air out.  Since the car was in the driveway, I took the opportunity to take a few new photos:

This is just the antique plate for now.  We still have to get the real plates for it but it's the next thing on the list.  A few things need tweaking and there's still a few things we need to get for it but we plan to take if for it's Maiden Voyage out of the subdivision on the 4th of July.  My mom's house is only about 8 minutes down the road so we're going to drive it there for the first time.  I feel like we should have a band and escorts with little waving American Flags!!!  LOL!!!   Maybe a parade! It's been a long time coming!!!

In other news, I added a few new hanging pillows to the shop yesterday.  Mom made these:

I have several more that I'll add this afternoon.

Last but not least, I only got a little stitching time in yesterday but here's an update on my Purple Rose Door Hanger:

Have a nice day everyone!

Purple Roses

I finished up stitching my Eagle Door Hanger yesterday:

It's very colorful and very Patriotic!

I started a new piece with a purple rose:

The rose is from a vintage handkerchief.  I love the soft colors on this one!  I'll do some stitching on this later today.

I have some new door pillows that mom made so I'll start adding them to the shop today and post photos tomorrow.

My plans for the week are to sew up my 4th of July hanging pillows and to sew some new blocks since I'm down to just one or two in my stitching basket. 

Today is opening day at Wilmot Flea Market in Wilmot, Illinois.  I'm going to straighten up and then Scott and I head up there to walk around for a little while.  Maybe I'll find some goodies!

Stars And Stripes

Not feeling well this morning so I'll just post an update on my current Patriotic door hanger:

When I finish this one up, I'll be getting back to some pretty flowers.  Have a nice day everyone!

Crazy Quilt Eagle

I started one more Patriotic door hanger.  This one has a vintage image of an eagle with the American flag:

I'm going to work on this now for an hour or so before I head over to mom's for some coffee.

Beaded Scissor Fob

I have loads to share with you today!  First, Kathi made a pretty beaded scissor fob:

If you're anything like me, you need this!  I'm forever putting my little embroidery scissor down and then I can't find it!  This is a nice large scissor fob with a big clasp!

I also added 2 more of my crazy quilt door hangers to the shops:

We're also on Etsy!

 I started a 3rd Patriotic door hanger yesterday and will have a photo of that tomorrow.

Also, the latest Shabby Lane Shops magazine is now available:

The Spring/Summer issue can be found at Barnes and Noble, Bookworld, Hancock Fabrics or at Shabby Lane Shops website.

Okay, it's time for me to straighten up and get to the grocery store!  Have a great day everyone!
