Having Fun With New Fabric Projects

With my first show of the season just 2 weeks away, the crunch is on.  I have been making fabric covered journals, these 2 will be headed to the antiques mall, they sell as fast as I make them there.

Making a variety of fabric tags, I am loving the white burlap.  I purchased a huge supply, with a few home projects in mind, but have been using it in my crafting.

This is a little pocket fashioned from a small vanity scarf, vintage buttons and an antique French postcard reproduced onto fabric.  I really want to fill this little pouch, but have creative block and for now it remains empty.

Anyone who has ever purchased from me during Christmas is familiar with my long knit stocking Faeries.

I have made and sold dozens over the past few years.

Well, the time has come, I just finished my last 5 large knit stocking faeries.

I don't think I will be listing these in the shop this year, but will take them to shows and/or the antiques mall.  If you are interested in one of them before they are gone, please email me (kimlaws@verizon.net) and I can bill you through Paypal.  They are $14.00 each plus shipping.

Thanks for visiting today

New Porch, New Furniture

These are photos of the new furniture we purchased in anticipation of our new back porch being built. The sofa is currently residing on the front porch, two chairs are in the dining room, and two ottomans are due to be delivered next week.
While I fell in love with the all-weather outdoor wicker set, the fabric color and pattern would not be my first choice.

The weave of the wicker reminds me of antique versions and the seats are divinely deep, simply perfect to snuggle up into .

I purchased 10 yards of this fabric a few years ago and knew this is the direction I really want to go when decorating the porch. I love the vintage pattern, but updated colors-perfect.

Here's the sofa with it's new covers! I will have to find some coordinating solid fabric to cover the ottomans once they arrive, and I want to make a bunch of pillows to cozy things up even more.

I am so happy with the look of these pieces now, I cannot wait to move all this scrumptious seating to it's new home in about a month.

enJOY Your Blessings,

Kimberly
