Being out in my garden, soaking up a little sunshine and getting my hands dirty, hanging vintage linens out to dry,all makes me feel like I am finally waking up from a long hard winter and I am ready to be creative again. I've pulled my sewing machine up from the basement and the ideas are coming.
One quick creation from last night...
Bubba is finishing up Kindergarten and one big project was to create a hand sewn and embroidered pillow. (I love his school.) He was sick and needed to do some sewing at home. As he finished up he needed a place to put his teacher's pins. A perfect solution/end of year teacher gift...
a needle-book made from another piece of the quilt top from way back and some craft felt I had. His teacher is a man so I tried not to make it too girly looking. I must say I loved the end result.
My very generous neighbor gifted me a box of her grandmother's vintage aprons. Some of them hung out to dry...
Beautiful right? They will need a few more soakings. The fabric is unbelievably soft and faded. They have been well loved.
And some pictures of the emerging garden...
a tiny slip of an herb garden, those are radishes near the brick.
lambs ear, kind of taking over, I'll divide it soon.
The poppies are really amazing this year!
It's good to be back.
