...I've been working on...some finished, some not...too many ideas, not enough time...and so it goes...
Not shown here is a little blog surprise that I'm working on; I was hoping to get it done this week, but with all the Halloween prep and festivities already on their way around here, I'm not as hopeful. Watch for my next post though, which will probably be out within the next 6-7 days or so...
Thank you so much for all the amazing comments and e-mails I've received lately. I have to say that they are a great source of motivation for me, especially during those seemingly endless bouts of rainy weather we've been having lately, when all I feel like doing, quite honestly, is crawling back into my cozy bed... (Please excuse my snail's pace in replying to them though...)
Recently, I've also been showered with some amazing blog love. At one of my market dates in September, I bumped into Lilli, the woman behind the delightful Make Mine Blissful blog, who with a few of her music students filled the air with wonderful music, as they performed for the market shoppers and vendors. During one of their pauses, Lilli took some snapshots of my stall and here they are, beautifully embedded in this lovely post; those pics are a real treat for me, since I rarely remember to bring my camera to the market! - Thank you with all my heart, Lilli... Thank you also to miss very talented pretty little things who has a thing for houses for your mention here. And also, thank you to creative Katie who definitely has a big thing for ruffles for your lovely mention here...
P.S. In case you're wondering what those crocheted circular pancakes with the flower on top are: they're destined to become pillows...at some point....hopefully...
The first batch of woolly house pillows is done, and...here they are: ta-da-a-a-a!...
While you can't really tell from the photos, the pillows are a good size (20" square), and I went nuts with the buttons: there are 7 of them, each one different from the other -- how fun is that! I backed them with what is quickly becoming a favorite: Barefoot Roses' polka dot print in that wonderful grayish tone that I simply can't get enough of!
In case you're wondering, all the houses in the photos are from my neighborhood -- isn't that shade of pink absolutely scrumptious...
