Pretty things . . .


 
I thought I'd share some pretties from my Etsy Shop,
 
 
At times, I like to combine similar items.
 
 
 Tea Cup Pincushion
This is one of a few pincushions I've made
with my handcrafted wool flowers.
I'm hoping to add a few more to the
 shop soon.
Do you like the beaded pins?
 
 
 
This pretty doily has a raised ruffle.
 
 
 
 
 I hand quilted this star block.  Wouldn't it be delightful
for Christmas or Valentine's Day?
 
 
 
I wish these happy bees could iron all of my
wrinkled  clothes.
 
 
 Do you have an Etsy Shop?
Be sure to leave your shop name in a comment
so that I can visit.
 
 
 
Donna's Giveaway!
I've entered Donna's giveaway for this darling fabric.
 
 
Won't you join in the fun?



Head on over to Donna's blog for a chance
 to enter her fabric and pattern giveaway!
 
 
Enjoy your weekend.
 
 
With all the fun of homeschooling,
I haven't been able to blog as often as I'd like. 
Please know I'm still reading
and enjoying your posts and comments.

Jabara Hand Embroidery for Friday

Friday's Find
 
These lovely linen towels have beautiful handwork
on the bottom edge.
 
 
 
I can still see the pencil markings of the pattern
on the top towel pictured above.

 
This lucky find still has the original tags!
 


 
"Portuguese Hand Embroidery"
for
Benj. M. Jabara & Sons
 
 (Back and Front of Tag)
 
These towels sold soon after posting
in my Etsy shop
 
 
On a more personal note --
 
 
My family and I have embarked on our school year adventure.  This year we're returning to homeschooling after four years at a private school.  This transition is going to take some time for us all.  I know that many of you are also homeschooling.  Any words of wisdom you would like to share? 
 
Enjoy your weekend.
