new item for the shop

I just added these to the shop:






these collages are centered around a vintage pattern image printed on fabric & backed with a white scallop edged frame.

vintage fabric is stretched around an 8” wooden embroidery hoop & secured on the back - so its ready to hang. in addition, they are embellished with items like vintage buttons, ribbons or ric rac.

they're priced at $6.00 each.

I've got more new items for the shop coming soon...

{hope you're having a good weekend so far!}

I was so flattered awhile ago when the amazingly talented danielle thompson asked me to make a project using her wonderful kitschy digitals!

meet olivia:



danielle is so inspiring, not only does she make beautiful things but her photos are so happy & lovely...make sure if you haven't visited her blogs that you take time to do so, I promise you won't be disappointed!

now, on to today's embroidery transfer...I promised more of the pups from last week, so here they are:


happy stitching!

I thrifted these last weekend at an estate sale & couldn't wait to get them home so I could photograph them...if that's wrong, I don't want to be right.

cozy thrifting
