Sweet little things ~

I finished my needle books!

I would love to think that these would become

little heirlooms that would passed down

from a mother to her daughter,

both sharing the love of sewing....

They are simple, composed of mostly antique linens ~

that now have a new purpose.

I finished five today ~ two are spoken for but

I've just listed the remaining three in

my Etsy shop

if you'd like to take a peek!

I name them so I can tell them apart!!

I hope you're having such a wonderful Spring week ~

hugs and love,

Dawn

Working hard and watching the time fly!

I've been working really hard over here!

A few more needle books are in the works....

Seems most folks love the white on white ones ~

When I get back from Paper Cowgirls, I am GOING to organize my lace...

it's really a shame to have all this beauty wadded up!

Don't you think? :)

Plus, I've been getting everything together

for my class at the Paper Cowgirl Art Retreat!

Since I'm flying to Texas, I have to ship everything out there ahead of time.

It's really a good thing as it's making me be super organized, I think.

That was one of the reasons I re-created my project,

just so I could make sure of each component I used.

There are so many wonderful activities planned in addition to the classes....

Shopping in downtown Waxahachie...at night!

The shops are staying open late just for us ~

I can't wait to see The Dove's Nest....it looks like such a gorgeous shop.

Plus, we get private shopping Friday night at the Petticoats on the Prairie

antique market and show that's in town Saturday, March 17th!

I can't buy anything big but maybe I can find a few small bits and bobs

to add to my hoard :)

And the time is near sweet friends....

Registration for classes ends THIS Thursday!!!

It's almost March....my goodness what happens to the time?!

Wishing you a wonderful Tuesday precious friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn

This little elf is getting faster!

I finished all of the needle books!

There were eleven total but a few sold ahead of time and a few were orders ~

Here's the remainder ~ I love making these sweeties....

I had to name them again because I know I would lose track of them!!

Plus a sweet flea bag was finished too!!!

All these goodies have been added to my Etsy store finally!!

Now... I've got to work on something new!!!

Deneen of Dreaming in Color is have a sweet birthday giveaway

December is really flying by!!

Can you believe it?

I guess we now all realize why everyone starts

the Christmas season in November :)

Have a wonderful Wednesday precious friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn

My little workshop ~

So what's going on around here??

I had a few more needle book orders and guess what.

I did it again.

I can't make just two...so I made eleven!

Why eleven?

I don't EVEN know...

I think it's because I ran out of the fabric

I was using for the body of the book.

They're not quite finished but will be today!

And soon to be listed in an Etsy shop near you :)

Here's a peek:

Plus I'm finishing up a flea bag too!

And if you'd like to see pure joy...

here's a glimpse of it:

Our angel Clara is such a happy child!!!

Full of love...she tells her Papa that he's her blessing ~

how about that for making your heart melt!

Wishing you joy this Tuesday dear friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn

PS. If you can, please take the time to vote
for precious angel Nate
at Tiny Prints....
He has had so many health problems in his short six months
his mama and daddy could sure use the prize!!!!

VOTE HERE!

Shades of cream, ivory and tan...

We all love them, don't we?

Since I had a few requests for needle books, I had to make a few extras!

I figured I may as well and here are the finished goodies ~

I just love being able to utilize wonderful, old linens that have stains,

holes or tattered lace trim. They've been forgotten by others

but by giving them a new purpose,

they can become a cherished treasure again!!

When listing items like this, it can get confusing on who's buying what so

I came up with a little solution!

I made four little tags and gave them each a name ~
problem solved!!

They've all just been added to my Etsy shop!
UPDATE: All have been SOLD!!
Thank you so much for buying my handiwork!!!!

If you're already thinking of Christmas...

and stocking stuffers or gift baskets ~

Don't forget to check out my family's

gorgeous soap!!!

Click here to take a look in their Etsy shop :)

Now to work on a few more of those bottle brush trees....

they're so much fun to decorate!

Wishing you a beautiful Friday precious friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn
