Autumn Pink

Here we are in autumn once again!  I saw my first fallen fig leaf yesterday....and my studio (okay, my house) is full of fabric, trims, stacks of possibly-put-together fabrics and open sketch books!  Both of our kids have moved out to college now, leaving me lots of space!!!!

     je t'aime...te amo...I love you

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I just love using the vintage embroideries and laces.  I "rescued" this lace from a worn out pillow case, the flower from a worn table runner, but they are still in great condition...and it makes me think about all the time and work that women put into them..the hand embroidered little flowers, french knots, one by one...there must have been so much love that went into these little treasures!  Many moms now are working and don't have time to make all these extra touches, but I love to put these old ones on my new creations and let moms today enjoy them on their little ones.  The twirly dress' rosette has my hand stamped ribbon saying "je taime" or I love you.

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY.  HERE'S THE LINK BACK TO BEVERLY!  and one more Pink picture!

That Glorious Autumn Glow

This weekend really brought autumn to us here!.....its colors, the smells, and my favorite, the long low lighting! I really wanted to get out in it for awhile, even if it meant leaving my knitting. I was privileged to have my daughter and her friend join me for a bit to take some pictures. I was struck by not only the reds, orange and gold we expect on the fall leaves, but by the deep plum in the shadows of the leaves! and the many shades of greens!

Hats for the wee ones
