HEY PAT!!

When I was at retreat last week I couldn't believe my eyes!!
This picture was on the wall in my bedroom.
It looks so much like your house Pat(Winter)..

Doll Progress

Here is as far as I am with the doll.
I need to finish her surcoat next. I'm using a pale lavender dupionni silk. Once I get the skirt finished  and attatch it to the top I will put some white fur resembling ermine all around the bottom. The poor darling reallyt need her hair done soon!,
I had a real snicker doing her eyes.
I had the eyelids on backwards.. Looked like little baseball caps! VBG
Thank goodness I got my head around that one!!
Stay tuned...

Recycle Glass Candle Jars

I thought I would share this idea with you..
I like to buy candles in pretty glass jars. After the candle is all used up I clean out the container and use it to store buttons.The buttons look so pretty displayed this way and adds a neat decoration to my studio.
The pin cushion  gifted to me by a friend is made from an old piece of porcelaine.Another neat idea.
Note: the star shaped button  in the bigger jar was on a darling dress my Mother made for me when I was about 6 years old.I now realize that button is 70 years old!!!!!
