I "Heart" Art...

 I have been wanting to make one of these folding cloth hearts for a while. I finally got around to it this week. The hand stitching was very therapeutic.

For Holly over at MAMA.

 The inside.

 The outside tied together.

Fabric Collage & Rearranging the Studio & yard sale finds!...

I finished this little organizer last night. The top of this faux dress is a fabric collage that I plan to add a few found objects to, probably a pretty pearl necklace etc...

The bottom has two big pockets to put "stuff" in and it all hangs on an altered wooden hanger.

I had this shelf sitting on top of my sewing table, but it was taking up most of my sewing room and blocking the majority of the wall that I plan to hang an old door on so it had to move. I moved it where my chair was and my chair is now in front of my sewing desk.

I rearranged a few pretties...

Just had to show you my favorite necklace (above) a vintage Whiting & Davis rhinestone number. Super long and completely awesome! I wear it for special occasions. 

I went to 1 yard sale this weekend and found a few really pretty things...

I found a very see through 1920's gauze summer dress (underneath) and a beautifully made top with hand made lace inset collar.  There was also a floral silk bag with tatted lace top and bottom. (see it hanging at the end of the umbrella) It's so pretty but fragile. I love the tatting on it.

And you'll never guess what I paid for all of it....

25 cents! I spent 1 quarter at that yard sale and went home to throw a birthday party for my daughter and my husband. :)

 Thanks for visiting! Have a great week!
