Pearls and Lace, My Favorites!

I Heart Blue! and Only a Few Days Left for the Giveaway!

When I saw this button with the GORGEOUS blue stones, I knew it was destined to be part of a very special pillow.  I worked and worked and finally got it just right. 



The laces and edgings are all vintage and some are handmade.  The 3 crocheted roses were made by me.  I've been crocheting roses while I watch t.v. in the evenings and have a Mason jar full of them!  I can't wait to see how they look on the pillows I'll be making.



The embroidered flower was from a doily, and its edging of white lace was so pretty, I just had to use it!




Did you know buttons are really difficult to sew onto a pillow especially INSIDE a crocheted flower???



Don't forget the 100th Post Giveaway I'm having!  Only 3 more days left to enter.  Be sure and check it out



I'm joining in the Monday parties listed below!
Be sure and check them out!  There are some INCREDIBLY talented people out there!
Blessings, Doni

I really love that particular shade of blue. It's so beautiful...and I always have to wonder about the people who made those pieces you used in your pillow ;) :) :) I wonder what kind of stories that pillow would tell, if it could talk :) :) Have a great week. Love and hugs from Oregon, Heather :)

p.s. I LOVE sparkly jewelry :)
