And one was just right!

I've added more roses to the guest room!

I finally found these precious old panels (I have fabric stashed everywhere!)

These just happened to be inside of a vintage suitcase under our bed :)

I'm not happy with the rod but had to see them hanging...

I just started working on my new tutorial

to add to my Lessons from The Nest shop!

A sweet elf shoe ornament!

I've been designing the pattern and working on several prototypes...

The one I created last year was really quite small and hard to

manipulate with your fingers. So I enlarged the pattern and, well,

it was way too big (you can see my patterns stuffed inside)

But finally I reached a size that I think you'll love!

Now that I have the pattern, it's time to begin taking photographs

while I create one from beginning to the end, step by step.

These are in no way finished in these pics but you know

I have to show you what I'm up to!!

Wait till you see the finished shoe :)

I ran across the page below I'd scanned from my inspiration files.

I've shared it with you before but I think these are so lovely
and would make beautiful gifts, don't you?

Have a very happy Tuesday dear friends!

hugs and love,
