I have noticed that everything that I do these days seems to be related to my home. I guess that comes with having to get a house ready to sell, and then moving into another one. The nesting instinct has kicked in. So I guess that it’s no wonder that everything that I have been making has something to do with the home as well! It doesn’t matter if it is something that I have made for my shop, or myself.
Vintage Doily Pillow
I’ve been stocking the shop with some pillows, and of course I have fit in one or two for myself…
One for You and One for Me!
I kind of feel like I have been doing a ‘one for you and one for me’ here!
And I have made a ton of fabric baskets in all types of fabrics and sizes…
I have been having a blast stenciling on the burlap and making some of my coffee buckets again. Only this time, I made them a little differently so I could use the blue pillow ticking. My original pattern doesn’t work well with the stripes, so I came up with a new pattern, which is actually a little quicker and uses less fabric. I love the ticking so much, that I also made a hanging pillow with it…
Most of this is in the shop. The back of this heart is made from a piece of burlap from one of the coffee sacks that I use to make the burlap pillows and buckets that are also in my shop…
I have listed several things in the shop that I used the pillow ticking to make. I am really enjoying working with these simple, basic materials. I am thinking of combining these with some of my cottons that I have stashed and I am going to be experimenting a little more with my paint, stencils, flour sack towels and the pillow ticking. Sometimes just getting back to simple materials is all it takes to get my creative juices flowing!
