Valentine Tag

Hello Everyone!!!   I'm back with a Valentine tag I made for a swap at my ArtHaven group...I wanted it to look like an old fashioned Valentine and I thought this lovely lady would make a great focal point...I added a red and white polka dot paper for the background, some paper lace hearts to frame her, some pretty pearl hearts and a swatch of floral lace at the bottom...The SMILE and LUV hearts are woodlets that I painted pink and then lettered...

I've been working, forever it seems, on a sewing tag book for a friend and hope to share it soon...I had a disaster that wiped out half my project and had to start all over again..I knocked over a bottle of gold paint and it just flew everywhere, mostly on 2 of the tags..It took me awhile to get my creativity back but I'm doing better now..Accidents will happen...Ugh!

Thank you for stopping by my blog..It's so good to see you....Kathy

Handmade Pillows

 HAPPY NEW YEAR MY FRIENDS!!!  I wanted to share with you two lovely Christmas presents that my friend, LolaAnne, made for me...Are these pillows gorgeous, or what?...The lace and embellishments are so pretty and the quilt squares are so me..Love them!  I am keeping them out all winter..One is on my wing chair and the other is on my rocking chair in the living room...

LolaAnne and I went to art school together back in the day and we have been bestest friends ever since.. Her favorite art is sewing and she makes the most adorable dolls,  lovely tote bags, pillows, you name it..All of her work is just beautiful with a shabby chic and vintage look...

The pretty quilt squares came from daisysquiltshoppe.com..and she also has a shop on Etsy...She has tons to choose from and I highly  recommend that you take a peek..You will be hooked on them just like me, I'm sure....Oh, and she will print on card stock if you make a special request...

I hope to find my creativity back again very soon and will have some Valentine's to show you...Thank you for stopping by to see my blog and I would love to know what you think of my wonderful Christmas present......Happiness and Best Wishes to all in 2012...Kathy
