Winter Flower Pillow by Country Mouse


I had to share this pretty pillow Country Mouse surprised me with when I visited her last weekend. Isn't it gorgeous? It's made with Cloud 9 organic fabric, grey felt, and a vintage doily. It reminds me of the colors I used this Christmas for decorations. I really like using blues and greys because I feel like I can leave them up past the holidays and no one complains. I totally neglected to post some pictures of our Christmas table and decorations but thought I'd sneak them in here, hope you don't mind...

Poms from Pom Love on Etsy

I used pink, white, and blue streamers for the table runner. 


And yes, I know today is Valentine's Day! 
I'm only one holiday behind :)

Fall Shop Updates

We finished sewing new sets of aprons, towels, and oven mitts for the shop incorporating some of our finds from treasure hunting sales and fall colors. The photo above is a collage of some of the new fabrics and fall color inspiration. I'm trying to put together a little collage of fabrics and textures each time we create a new line of shop items (hoping to do this each season!)

We're also working on a monthly (or seasonal) newsletter - see the sign up on the right side of the blog - which will include news and special discounts for our etsy shop. We'd love for you to sign up!



This past weekend was unseasonably warm and sunny for us. I took full advantage of the sunshine and had a lot of fun playing stylist and photographing the new aprons, towels, and oven mitts. 

I did make time to reconnect with some college friends who I had not been in touch with for several years. We became close after spending nearly a month in Michigan together for a summer field course for our Fisheries and Wildlife degree. It was so much fun to catch up and find out what everyone is up to, it's quite funny that none of us are working in the field of our major! But that's ok, we agreed that we loved learning to identify birds by their songs and to recite scientific names (always a popular topic at a party, right?). I think that's why the little butterfly made it into the shop pictures, I was reminiscing of plant identification and life cycles. 
Funny how that happens, isn't it?

I hope your week is off to a great start! 
Thanks for stopping by, Jamie

Cloud9 Organic Fabrics

During Spring Quilt Market, Country Mouse and I fell in love with Cloud9 Organic Fabrics. The thought of adding an eco-friendly line to our shop was always in the back of our mind. So when we came across Cloud9 it was love at first sight! Soon after market the fabric arrived and the past few weeks we have been busy creating new ironing board covers and sewing machine covers...


The shop is now updated! To learn more about how the fabric is produced and the two women who founded Cloud9 go to their website.
