i believe spring has arrived here in north carolina. this week has been nothing but beautiful, sunshine filled days! i’m happy to take more walks and i think it’s almost time to dust off my bicycle and have a picnic in the park!
i made two new pillows! i love pillows. when stephen and i married i went a little pillow crazy and made a ton. no really, a ton! it was the first thing i learned how to sew and i made enough to make a king size quilt from all the fabric. since i made that quilt, our home has been lacking in the pillow section! i’m happy i was able to make two from random fabric i had.

what’s the first thing you learned how to sew? mine is pillows, what’s yours?
cheers,
Haven’t been on line in a while. Loving the new look of the blog. The pink is so fresh! First thing I ever sewed was a hand pieced strip quilt. Then lots and lots of baby blanket.
I have pictures of some amazing vintage finds to show you soon. Can’t wait!
Thanks Joy! Stephen designed it for me
i can’t wait to see your findings!! by the way, you’ve totally inspired me to find a hutch! i love yours!
You know I also like the way fishnets and peep toe shoes look together. It has to be the smaller fishnet otherwise people tend to stare. I don’t remember what I learned to sew. I do remember my grandma teaching me to cross stitch at age 5 and me sewing my dress to my needle work. I’ve always been a bit ditzy.
that’s so nice of your grandma to take the time out to teach you when you were a little girl! both of my grandmothers don’t know how to sew, which is really surprising to me!
I totally loved it. I am the only one of three daughters that does “domestic skills” like that. It is surprising both of your grandmothers don’t know how to sew. It was a basic skill most women had back in the day.
I love your teacup & saucer!
thank you! i love drinking tea from a tea cup!
Lovely post! I love the clothes on the street corner!
The cookies yesterday looked very neat and sweet too! xoxo Lynn
