Pretty Petals

Pretty ~ for a Party

I spent the morning creating some fluffy flowers for my table... Im having a little summertime party this weekend and wanted a pretty centerpiece for my table. These are the same fluffy flowers that I made to create the lampshades on my sidebar... Love these flowers!!

If you want to know how to make these fluffy fabric flowers I offer a step by step tutorial that you can purchase here or here. :)

I love this little mirror tray I picked up at the flea market. It looks pretty with the glass bottles and blue sea glass that I bought at Michaels. The green leaves I just plucked right off of one of my plants outside! haha... I figure they will just dry there and still look good if they are a little crinkled.



Wouldn't this be gorgeous for a wedding centerpiece?? and super inexpensive... well any party really!

 

 

Happy summertime to you!

Some New Jewelry

Hello! How is your summer? I have been making a few pieces of jewelry here and there this summer. I listed them in my etsy shop. I am hoping to add a few pieces every week this summer. We will see if I can keep up!

 

 

 

 

I have finally updated my blog reader from Google Reader to Bloglovin ~ I am very upset that I am losing my google reader! I used it so much to keep track of my favorite blogs. Oh well.. I guess I just have to roll with the changes. Bloglovin was pretty easy to set up because it imported all my blogs and was really quite simple. Don't forget to pick your new blog reader so you don't lose track of your favorite blogs!

 

Hope you have a great Sunday!!

Pretty Pockets

so awhile ago... and by awhile ago  I mean like maybe 2 years?... I was in a swap that I wasn't able to finish my end of because of some personal things. So you know this has been on my concience all this time! I finally made it right and mailed these little pockets to the girls recently. They are pockets that I sewed on the sewing machine  made from vintage papers and lace.


I love them all piled up!

dream a little bigger darling...

I made this collage last night... isn't she pretty? love this lady. Ive been feeling so creative lately. It must be this cold long winter!





and.. I love this quote, I have to remind myself of this often.














 I am off to make myself a hot steamy cup of coffee... feeling like I am coming down with a cold. Hope you have a happy Sunday!

Hearts

Made a few valentines today... :)

 

They were super easy... just layer some coffee filters, sewing patterns and tulle ... then top with some lace and flowers. 

 

 

 

 

 

always fun to play with paper and lace!

unfinished project basket

still sorting things in the craft space... this basket is for my unfinished projects. I made these a few months ago and wanted to create a banner out of them but just haven't gotten around to it yet. I thought they looked pretty all piled up in the basket. I  used some old pillowcases that had holes in them... if you ever see an old pillowcase or doiles with holes in them, don't pass them by... they are perfect for art because you won't feel guilty cutting them up.

 

Here are some journals waiting to get put away in the craft room... they make me smile. I love when they are all jumbled up like this.

 

Hope you are warm... it is freezing cold here. xo Heather

 

 

Inspiration

So Ive been fixin up my craft room. I am going to use this old door as my inspiration board.




It looks pretty just plain and simple too.





But I can't wait to fill it with things that inspire me.

These are some of my favorite ever trims, millinery and lace. I just threw them up there because they are definatly making the cut for the inspiration board. :)

I will keep you posted on my progress...

Anthropologie Rosette Quilt

Just a quick post.. I am parting with my purple rosette Anthropologie quilt...  If you want to check it out you can see my Ebay auction for more details about it. I love the purple color! This particular color is discontinued and is no longer available.  

~the pretty photo is from Anthropologie 's original listing

 

 

Retail Therapy

Do you have a Hobby Lobby near you? We finally have one here in Pittsburgh and I LOVE that store! I bought this pretty lantern there... a little treat to myself. :)

 

 

 

 

The lantern looks pretty on these table runners

 

I also bought these cute little votives from Kohls with my 30% off coupon... I burn candles in them every night... they make me happy

 

another recent purchase with my Pier 1 gift card I got for Christmas ... oh how I love this little wool pillow. and I love Pier 1!

So I have been unpacking my craft supplies this weekend and starting to organize them. I hung this collage up in my dining room...  I am itching to make some new stuff.:)

 

Have a great week!!
