A Tea Towel Project Finished...

I thought I better post this before I forget. I finally decided to take one of my favorite tea towels down off my inspiration wall to make a tote that I had planned for it. Here are the fabrics I chose to put with it.

I found a beautiful old pillowcase that had a perfect sized floral center to use as the tote's lining.

And the handles were made from a coordinating purple floral design from some vintage linens.

The lavender color is such a treat because I have found that it is hard to come across purple in vintage linens.

Here is the finished tote. And as hard as it was to do so, I am parting with it. it is in the shop:)

I Think I have a New Favorite Color...

Just finished another few brooches. The part that is the most fun about these, is the picking of the unique color combos. They all take on a life of their own when the colors get mushed together. No 2 are the same. Here is my new favorite. I think purple is my new favorite-too bad it is such an extremely hard color to find in old wool sweaters! Here is a peek at the new brooch.

How About A Give Away....It has been too Long!

It has been awhile since I have done a give away here, and with the school year ready to begin around here, and fall fast approaching, it just seems to time to reconnect with many of you!

I have been snuggling up to my wool in the studio this past week and have some newly designed coffee cozies. The give away will be for this grape Jelly coffee cozy.

To enter to win this cozy, it is simple...simply stop in and leave a comment for this post. I will be picking a random winner on Friday! Have a great day!

Day Five...Grape Jelly Anyone?

Day 5 of the pair a day.....Grape Jelly anyone?
The mittens are lined with a fun vintage purple dot knit....
Isn't the contrast funny? Winter mittens snuggling up to summer's flowers....
The mittens have wool pennies appliqued to the front using my stippling foot. The are complimented with some cozy gray wools on the palm and cuff.
