Sewing some Colour in my space

I will get back to posting the new designs, but I had to digress and show you a bit of fun I have been having!
The rocking chair has been in my family since I was about 3 or 4, so that is definitely antique! Well, it is getting there. I made a chair cushion and a little pillow to modernize it. On the couch, I recovered the two end pillows in this fun paisley and added this throw - called Cotton Candy from Joanne's Fabrics. It is light weight but comfy. (The throw that is.) Enjoy! ~Paula

Wedding Pillows

These are lovely pillows sewn on alabaster R&R 30 ct fabric with Wildflowers and Needlepoint Inc silk. The ring bearer pillow has the addition of Mill Hill beads, crystals, and Charland Design silver charm. The ring bearer pillow is available through BIZZI Creations. A quick stitch to an heirloom to enjoy for generations!

Finishing on a Stick

I did a class at both TNNA and Nashville on finishing on a stick. Right now all three designs are punchneedle, but watch - as they will become available in cross stitch. Kits are available for the stick, trim, backing fabric, embellishments. That will be applicable for both punch or cross stitch.

Oh and by the way, the Witch's Hat does glow in the dark...the bat and circles around the orange polka dots. Very fun!

Have a wonderful day!

Queens of the House

Well, Ms. Elsie, the one on the right, was very helpful this weekend. I received some wonderful samples of thread while at TNNA San Diego...and Elsie decided that they were her new toys. Yes, she loves them. I am hoping to have fun with them soon, but have to hide them until I have time or I think I will have lost ownership of the thread. Knickers, the one on the left is Elsie's mom. She has decided with the cooler weather that my pillow on my bed is the "place" to be. They are quite the muse. Love them both dearly...and they are often my inspiration.

I'm working on stuff for Nashville which is sooo soon!

We had a beautiful day today...a grand change from the ice, snow and rain we have had the last week.
