Spring Lamb Shelf Sitter

I decided to "whip up" a little something spring for Our Homemade Blessings.
The end result: a little lamb shelf sitter with a hand-stamped canvas "spring" tag attached to her neck.
You can find this soft pillow in our Etsy shop.

Country Cottage Doily Pillows

I've been wanting to make some doily pillows for some time now.
Yesterday I finally pulled my material stash out and set to work.
I like how the green ticking compliments the floral design on the front.
I made these for the Etsy shop, but almost wish they matched something in my house so I could keep them!

40% off Calendars

40% off the last two 2015 calendars I have in stock
(purple checked still available)

Primitive Frame

Here's a new primitive frame (9 x 13) that I remade for my craft room.
I painted the frame a "distressed" black and made the insert from red ticking and burlap.
I had then coffee dyed a mini doily and added a strip of lace across the bottom with...
 ...one of my homemade buttons cards.
A mini clip makes this a changeable frame -- add a quote, Scripture, or change the photo from time to time.
  Here my new frame hanging on my craft room wall.

Pretty Gifts

Here's a little package I made up to cheer a friend going through a tough time.
I included homemade cookies and a bottle of Bath n' Body Works lotion.
The bag is a lace punched white lunch sack.
I clipped a decorative close pin to the top along with a free journal card name tag.

 (The set I used can be found here.)


If you don't have the time or resources to make your own clips and bags - check out my Etsy shop.

Decorative Clothes Pins

I had a few extra minutes yesterday afternoon so I made three sets of decorative clothes pins for the shop.
These are great for all kinds of things like:
Organizing the Office
Hanging Banners
Place Card Holders
Gift Bag Toppers
Hanging Photos
Dorm Room Decor
 I'm happy to add a magnet to the back so you can also use them as:
Refrigerator Magnets
Filing Cabinet Clips

Make a set for yourself or to give away OR stop by the shop and  pick up a set of mine!

Crocheted Heart Magnets

I made a set (of 3) heart shaped magnets to sell in the Etsy shop.
They all have the same core, but I added a lacy finish to the "camo" one and an extra round to the burgundy one.
This isn't the exact pattern I used (I printed mine off a year or two ago), but here's one similar (from Planet M Files) if you care to make your own.
OR you can purchase a set of these in our Etsy shop!
