Renewing the Battle of the Bobbin

On Sunday I spent some time with my linens...sigh.  It is always so relaxing!

I had sorted out linens that inspired me for pillows some weeks ago; so, I just had to make final decisions and then prepare them for sewing.  I paired up pieces, and planned.



I love everything about creating with my linens, except the ironing - I burned myself not once but twice! I remember I used to enjoy ironing.  I must have been very young.

Here's the only piece I managed to finish, and really, it was a no-brainer because the velvet rectangle came to me already sewn (thank you, Linda Sue!)  I added some gorgeous old hand crocheted lace, also via Linda Sue, fancy stitches, and antique glass buttons.


Besides that, I have been busy photographing and listing linens for my Spring Sale -- with still more to go!

Here are just a few of those that I have newly added to my Etsy shop:





I already have more than 16 linen items in the shop priced $5 or less, and a bunch more that I hope to finish listing this week.

Laurie, I was so happy to get your message about the crown. I'm glad you are lending it to a friend. I'm so sorry about the cancer and I will keep her in my prayers. What a great friend you are. Hope you are well. Love the linens. I always tend to gravitate to them when I am at a thrift or antique store.

Happy Spring!
Jennifer

Oops, I forgot to change over to my other blog, so you probably don't even recognize who Michele and Todd are. It is me, Michele from Something Special. I just thought I should clarify that last comment. Take Care.
