No Water Needed....Flowers For A Friend......


As I continue with physical therapy for the scar tissue in my hip, I get to stay in touch with a sweet woman named Joann.  She un-expectedly lost a leg and has been in therapy for months.  She just started using a prosthetic and is doing fantastic! 

Her joy and upbeat attitude is an inspiration to all.

I wanted to give her a little something but I wanted it to be someone she does not have to take care of, like real flowers.  So.... I made her flowers from fabric yo-yo's, glued to real sticks.  I love the way they came out and hope it brings some pretty color to her room and her day!

Vintage Looking Pillow Cases......

 
I had a custom order for a vintage looking queen sized pillow case.  I loved the way it came out so I decided to make a pair for my own bed.   The above is the queen size order.....the below pic is one of mine.  I love the color strip!  I think that I may make it a bit shorter though. 
 
I used muslin and NOS eyelet.
