  HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK

    

SUMMER MARKET

I have never done a Summer Market before, but 3 weeks ago I visited the Eagle Saturday Market and I really liked it. A friend of mine has been attending this event for the last 5 years and she has done pretty good, so I decided to give it a try. It takes place at a park that has big trees for much needed shade and live music performances at a gazebo. The atmosphere is great and a lot of people come and visit the weekly vendors. I have really enjoyed it.                                                                                                                  

 This is my booth the first day.

I am planning on been there the last Saturday of every month until it ends in October, if weather allows. 

This coming Saturday (July 14th) I am going to be at the Lavender Festival in Kuna. Here is the link to her FB page.

I have made these kitchen towels specially for this event with a lavender theme. I am very excited about this festival since I have heard great things about it. I will take pictures and post them soon.

Now, these are a few of the new kitchen towel designs I have made.

And to end for today, an Americana pillow.

THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO LOOK AT MY CREATIONS.  

Framed Art Work

 I have been thinking for a while about doing something like this for my home. After deciding on the style and the design I embroidered it on Osnaburg fabric using a dark brown thread.   

This will be a great wedding or anniversary gift.

Special orders welcome.     

The frame measures 13 1/2 x 15 1/2 inches

$35.00

     And now something very special for those ladies who can't stay away from sewing and/or quilting.                                    

The frame measures 11x13 inches

$19.00

                           

               

Decorate your guest bathroom with a black and white sign. 10 1/4 x 12 1/4 inches.

   This apron was specially designed and created for a friend who just graduated  from HS.  

Table Linens and More

These napkins are 100% linen, measuring 17x17 inches. They are designed and created by me. Handmade from the cutting of the fabric to the machine stitching  and embroidery. 

They can be customized to a larger size.  I also offer white linen and black thread for the embroidery.

This is a unique gift for weddings, showers, anniversaries, birthdays and more. An elegant touch to any table.

$30.00 for 6 napkins.

Restaurant quality 21x21 inches,  100% linen dinner napkins.

AND NOW UNTO OTHER THINGS

Fun "Mr and Mrs" towels.  Great wedding and shower gift.

This apron was a special order from a friend.  She absolutely loved the colors and how well the thread I used for the cupcakes matched the fabric.

This was also a special order from my hairdresser. 

It is a gift for a friend of hers who is also a hairdresser.

Very Special

 These gift bags are made of soft linen fabric in a light cream color. I made them for some friends who, like me, have their birthdays in May. I embroidered their initials in a color thread similar to the fabric which gives them an unique elegance. 

Great way to give a special gift to that special person.  

The Promised Pillows

At times I wake up in the middle of the night and I can't go back to sleep. My mind can't stop thinking about new designs and what I am going to work on once the new day arrives. I love to see my ideas become realities. 

Today I spent a lot of time finishing these pillows. I am very pleased with the results. I have also added the pillow I made yesterday to this group because the picture I took last night was too dark. You can see it better here. The small pillows measure 12x8 inches.  

Mother's Day is around the corner and I take special orders. You can find my contact information on this blog.

HAVING FUN

Today I have been working on some new pillows.  I have had a lot of fun designing and creating them. This one is the first one, but there are more to come. The size is 16x12 inches. It is made out of Osnaburg fabric and the words are embroidered in dark brown 100% cotton thread.

Stay tune for more.
