My doll house kitchen, it's a little messy, just like real life. I have been so busy with other things that I have neglected my house a bit. I will find the time someday. We are still waiting for better weather here in Ontario, I hope it gets here soon.

Sorting my buttons into colors and filling jars. It was a fun job. Now that they are sorted, it is much easier to find what I need.

Bag contains reusable shopping bag made from same fabric. A bit too flashy? Not for me.
Add
scarf and bag made from vintage fabric,(2.99 from thrift store)
plain old boring coat, right?(7.99 at thrift store)

Buy handmade :)

I also make hats and bags, here are some on display in my cousins store. This picture is from last year, and they have since closed the store and have reopened in a new location.
I embroidered these tea towel for my friend that just got married. I also made her some pillows with pictures on them of her and the groom. She loved them. It was a small wedding, just to two of them, very romantic, and such a happy occasion for two, not so young lovers.

Another big snow storm is coming. The good news is, I will have time to play with my wool roving that just came from Etsy. I want to make dogs but the book on how to make them hasn't arrived yet. I have been watching tutorials on youtube, so I think that I will be able to make something easy. This pic is to remind me that some day, I will be on the hot, sunny, beach in Port Elgin again.

More bad weather is on the way, so I guess that I will have lots of time for sewing. This is an embroidery that I just did ,I don't know what I will use it for , but it is pretty.


I made another dress, it's OK but don't love it.

Made one last dress (the black and white one) it looks great, fits great, and feels great. That it for me, but now I am going to make one for my daughter (a much smaller size).
