Vintage slaw cutters make great cubby shelves!  It can hang on the wall or sit! This is a nice size measuring 23" by 9".  It comes with the hooked Christmas tree but not the little crock.  

Hope you get a chance to stop by! Have a great weekend! 

Christmas is almost here!

Love of Old Blue Quilts

Spent the day with my Mom!  Before I left for home I snapped a couple pictures to showcase her wonderful prim decorating with old blue quilts and bowls! She has the touch!

 

Standing Snowman!

 

You can find the pattern in my Etsy shop!

 Purchase as an E-Pattern or a  kit with the Valdani Threads I used to punch this model.  The kit includes 3 balls of Three Strand Floss. A great little project to keep you busy as the snow flies!

November update is upon us!  Hard to believe that Thanksgiving is 1 week away!  The year sure has flown by and I'm starting to enjoy the warm fuzzy feelings that come along with the Christmas season in celebrating the birth of Jesus!

It was nice having more time to create this month since I'm done running to shows for the year!  I actually have 6 new handmades to offer!

 

The Merry Stocking Wreaths were created using a pattern by Notforgotten Farm! So sweet!

Here is a close up!

 

 

 

2 Hooked Trees on old granite funnels!

This sweet little guy stands 6" tall.  I designed and punched him to mount on a little vintage oil can.  So fun!

 

 

Have a great Thanksgiving!!!

A Vintage Pinkeep Find!

I found this little vintage treasure at the Simple Goods show in Ohio this past weekend!  I fell in love instantly!  The stitches are perfect and I love the drab worn off velveteen olive and brown textiles.  Well its really not little! It measures 7" and made oh so perfectly!

A Vintage Merrick Thread Cabinet for my Valdani Threads!

I picked this SWEET vintage Merrick thread cabinet up at Renningers Antique Extravaganza last Spring and it has been sitting here waiting to be cleaned up and put back to use!  It is so well worn and loved but looks great it in its fresh new coat of linseed oil!  

Just look at those brass knobs all wobbly and loose!  

(I see I missed a spot of oil rubbing by the top left knob!)

The ink well flip is to die for....... and it comes with its won pencil/pen groove!  Oh, I forgot..... my friend Ree gifted me with a vintage ink pen which I must put in place!

The top is covered with leather which is certainly showing its age but I can only imagine the stories it could tell!

The slant lid flips up to expose a wonderful large area to house the patterns I will be filling with the wonder Valdani Threads!  The lid is held up with a flip up stick that is attached to the left side of the box!

Isn't it amazing how the look of aged wood makes us all warm and happy inside!  It makes the perfect new home for all my threads!

Just another step on trying to organize my work area! I still have a long way to go! 

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!
