Happy  Day!

A day to leave a bouquet of flowers for neighbors and friends.  With so many spring blossoms blooming, it really is a joyful time of the year. 

I have one offering this month, it was inspired by the blooms in my front garden...tulips, just starting to bloom, snowflake flowers, and spring daffodils. I've also added a touch of blue here and there for the many forget-me-nots that find their way to just the right spot in the garden.

Take a look below, and if interested, please email me at:

Thank you always from the bottom of my heart.  

Be safe, be well, and be happy!

"Pitcher Full of Happiness" Textile Art

A fresh bouquet of flowers cut from my garden and placed in an ironstone pitcher. It is entirely hand sewn and primitively made using early bits and pieces of old textiles to make something new and pretty.  

If your visiting for the first time, I have been creating these kinds of pieces for as long as I can remember.  I call them cloth paintings.  Because of the age of the fabric, some places are a little tattered.  I find that charming but wanted to make sure that you noticed.

This piece was made with lots of love and little stitches.  It is backed by a vintage piece of natural textured fabric cut from a bolt that I found at a local estate sale. I have also added a sleave so that you may hang this with a dowel if you choose.

 It is larger than most of my pieces,12" wide x 15" long. 

All of these types of pieces are made one of a kind. Thank you always.

Father Christmas and White-Tailed Deer

An old soul. Always my favorite type of Santa to create.

Lots of time and details in this pair.    

Santa is dressed in a gray wool coat, adorned with antique quilt batting. His hood is lined with early homespun, which has two rusty bells attached. His needle-felted beard is wool sourced from a local farm. 

Santa is 11" tall, gusseted and weighted with walnut hulls.  He is holding a branch of blue-berried preserved cedar that came from another local business here in PA.

Santa's white-tailed deer is my rendition of one of of the many that roam the gardens in summer, and sleep in our side yard in the winter. He is 6 1/2" tall and 8" long.  His antlers are from an old mulberry tree.

His coat is the same gray wool and antique homespun as Santa's.  He wears a rusty jingle bell collar.

They are sold ~ thank you!
This set is $159.00, which includes priority mail shipping.

Grain Sack Snowman Winter

Mister Winter is 13" tall, gusseted and weighted with walnut hulls.  One of a kind, he is made from an antique sack that has a wash of white over it.

He is sold ~ thank you!
