Burlap Love

Little bits and pieces of vintage lace and crochet atop squares of burlap that look like sweet snowflakes.

Rustic table runner with lots of ruffles and prairie charm.

Love Rocks

I tell my husband I’m a cheap date, he doesn’t need to buy me expensive things, I can go outside and find that one special rock that will make me happy. I know it’s silly, but my Mother says I have been picking up rocks since I was a little girl. Not just everyone I see, they have to be just the right one and you know it when you see it. I remember one of our nephews saw my display of rocks in a bowl on the table and he looked at me and said “I’m not allowed to have rocks in the house!” Anything’s game at my house!!

I adore the gorgeous handmade crochet rocks in the “Stitch Happens 7” store on Etsy. You have to go to her shop and see her amazing work!

I am always on the lookout for heart shaped rocks! This is a photo banner I made of my collection.

And since I have so many rocks, I made some “Stamps on the Rocks” with my old stamps. Why not!

Doilies Made With Love

Christmas Doily Wreath

I have beautiful doilies lovingly crochet and tatted by my

Great Grandmother and it's a shame to keep

them hidden away in a drawer.

This is my homage to her,

I hope she's grinning back at my creations! 

My New Favorite

I can't resist old, worn, used books, they have so much character. I fell in love with this one, red and green my favorite colors. The cover is so pretty and the illustrations are just wonderful on the inside. It's all I can think about...I'm a book geek!
