Friday's Favorite Fabric Finds

~*~

Three out of five of this week's pretties are new to me.  How many are new to you?  These roses, daisies, and geraniums are perfect for the weather we're having this week.  It has been in the 90s and feels like August instead of May!!  Wishing you all a happy, refreshing weekend :)

Thursday's Treasure

~*~

I continue to collect vintage sheets and towels if I see really good ones, but other than that I haven't been *thriftng as usual*.  With a summer move for which to prepare, I have been bringing more to the donation centers than into the house.  This is a good thing.  I couldn't keep my paws off of this adorable vintage pillowcase, though.  It's one of the cutest I have ever seen, and I just may keep this one for myself.  Ninety cents...see, friends, you can buy happiness with couch change!

Blessed

~*~

When I woke up today and put on my glasses, I found a little handmade envelope on my nightstand.  Inside, the note above.  This is what my sweet baby did with her morning free time.   Feeling so blessed and looking forward to our future.

Awwww.  Look at baby Lyla, all snuggled up in her organic cotton snuggle set.  Big, big thanks to her mommy Mari and photographer Aubrey Stopa for sharing the photos.

There's something about a big baby yawn that is so so sweet.  She looks like a darling little bundle, that's for sure :)

If you are here reading this, I give you my biggest thanks for sticking with me during these sparse posting times.  I believe that better days are just ahead, and I look forward to catching back up with you all!

Friday's Favorite Fabric Finds

It's that time of year when everything in the forest is wet and green.  These five *new* fabrics are an ode to springtime... look for them in sosovintage soon!

Anthem

~*~

Don't let these sweet little songbirds fool you... my anthem these days is a little raw.  A little rough.  But, it makes me happy nonetheless.  It makes me think of my newfound badass friend Regina- a woman whose cool *I got this* demeanor has been honed by years of lessons learned and taught.  In fact, it makes me think of all the women that I am proud to call friends- we've all been here at least once, right?

Please enjoy my song HERE, (preferably full blast), and leave a little note about a song that makes you want to sing with your heart wide open and your fist in the air!

 

 

Wednesday's Works

~*~

I'm all caught up with orders in both shops at the moment, so I've had a little *just for fun* crochet time.  I started this set with the pink bowl, and was then struck with the notion of a Neapolitan ice cream theme.

~*~

I made this blue and white bowl last night.  It's slightly larger than my pillowcase "ball bowls" and would hold pencils or tallish craft supplies nicely.

~*~

I've been able to get some new fabrics and towels in sosovintage, but now it's time to get some of these new goodies listed in sosorosey.  For some reason I haven't felt up to that task, but it will feel good when the shelves are dusted and fluffed :)

~*~

Be sure to come back tomorrow.  {I know, two days in a row is a shocker!}  I'll be sharing one of my favorite "anthem songs" dedicated to my new friend Regina.  I'd love to hear one of yours if you have one!

Still Here

~*~

I can't believe I haven't posted in a week!  And I don't really even have a makeover to show.  Oh well, I'm here now and at least I have something to share.

I finished this custom rug order last night.  It's a mix of variegated and solid yarn, and the overall result is one of scattery neutrals.  It is heading off to NY today to be a Mother's Day gift this weekend :)
