PINK SATURDAY

Hello and welcome to Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly of How Sweet the Sound. Thank you Beverly for hosting this fun event!

Today for my Pinkness I have this pretty milk glass thrift store find. I purchased this cute plate for a quarter. Can't beat that. I added this cute pink gingham ribbon. How cute, I'm so happy with my purchase!




I went to a card making party recently and made these cute little cards.

A look at St. Patrick's Day decorations at my place.

My old green chair!

Thank you all so much for stopping by last week and leaving a sweet comment on my sons homecoming! I appreciate your comments more than you know. My week just got better because my Grandson is home on a ten day leave from the Navy we have our soldier and sailor home at the same time. Does not get any better than this! LOL Pic's of them next week!

Blessings, Shirl

BLUE MONDAY & HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY!

Hello and welcome to Blue Monday hosted by Sally of Smiling Sally. Thank you Sally for hosting this fun event! If you go to her blog you can get a list of all the other participants.
Today for some blue I thought I would show you two banners that I have been working on. I'm moving my paper crafts to another guest bedroom that I have been redoing to allow more room in my sewing room. So I have been finishing up the projects that were in the making on that table.


The first one is done with a crushed velvet background, I used a vintage Victorian clip art, embellished with German Glass Glitter, lace and trims, millinery and a rhinestone at her neckline.

The second one was made from my Christmas card this year. Glitter and trims added to make this pretty one.

Happy St. Patricks Day!
I have a few of my St. Patricks Day decorations to wish in the holiday for you!
This cute little pin, my daughter Jen of Jen's Petal Palace made for me about 16 years ago. She cross stitched it then put several coats of a decopage glue on it to get it hard then cut it out and put a pin on the back.

Some closeups of tree ornaments. A few banners I made this year.

Some cross stitch that I did years ago.

Silk ribbon embroiderd hearts.

A cross stitch sachet.

I made some faux sugar cookies the fill the gaps in this tree. My first year for a St. Patricks Day tree!

A cute little kitty green vase I thought perfect for St. Patricks.

A pillow made using vintage clip art.

A very pretty Victorian Lady!

A picture of my kitty Beans who passed away 7 years ago. She was a sweetie and I still miss her. She had her picture taken for every holiday and helped me on my ebay auctions 8 years ago. She had quite a following and got lots of fan mail! She wished everyone "Happy Bidding"

Another pillow using vintage clip art and Holly Hobbie all dressed in green.

A little mini quilt I made in cross stitch using all different types of threads and buttons.

I wish a very Happy St. Patricks Day!

Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful week!

Bless you, Shirl

PINK SATURDAY

Hello and welcome to Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly of How Sweet the Sound. If you go to her blog you can get a list of all the other participants.
Today I have another item that I pulled out of my sewing basket that needed to be fininshed. My daughter Jen of Jen's Petal Palace cross stitched this for me about 15 years ago. The frame that it was in broke so I had washed it and put it in the sewing basket to do something else with it. I finally got to it this week and I'm so happy to have it out in my home again.
An Easter Bunny Tea Party "How cute is that" I just might have to leave this up year round!

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend! I'll be back on Monday for Blue Monday and St. Patricks Day post.

Bless You, Shirl
