Although it may not feel like Spring, it will be here before you know it! I have been working on some beautiful items for my shop just in time for Easter (samples pictured below). I also received this gorgeous stash of Tanya Whelan fabric which I will be using to make some quilts and banners. I will be listing some quilts from my new line very soon so make sure to stop by my shop!<br />

Soon I will be listing several different sets of hand stamped muslin ribbon and aged, crinkled seam binding ribbon. The muslin fabric has been tea stained and stamped with permanent ink in sepia. The seam binding has been stained and crinkled to give it a beautifully aged look. Here are a few pictures of what will be available soon. I hope you like them as much as I do!!!<br />

I enjoyed my time with my two boys, but now they are back in school and I am back to work. I have been working on many seasonal items and have quite a few listed in my Etsy shop. I have also been working on my vintage sheet fabric stash. Unfortunately, I have not had much luck finding my own vintage sheets on my trips to the consignment shops, but I was lucky to have found a few great shops on Etsy. Here are a few samples of the goodies I found, which will soon be made into some beautiful baby quilts!<br />

I came across a gorgeous publication, Creating Vintage Charm magazine, and editor Sonia Crouse was so sweet to include an item from my shop in the Market Place section of their May, 2013 issue. <br />

I absolutely love these sachets. I used premium grade lavender and several different Rachel Ashwell fabrics to create these gorgeous decorative sachets. I will be listing these, and many more new items in the next few months, so don't forget to stop by! Enjoy your Spring!!!<br /> <br />

sachets that not only smell fantastic, but are beautiful as well. I like
to take a handful of them and display them together in a decorative
container.
I love the way they add a little pop of color while scenting my room at
the same time. <br />

</tbody></table>I am very pleased to launch my new blog!!!! To celebrate, I thought I would start off with a freebie for you. Over the past 2 years I have spent many hours searching for beautiful and unique vintage images, and I have built up quite a nice collection. I will be posting vintage images as well as some of my own designs for you to use for your own crafting projects. These images are great for making cards, gift tags, party decorations, or wherever your imagination takes you! I hope you like them and will find lots of fun things to do with them!Birds and Blossomshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08653147182280403751noreply@blogger.com3
