Antique Flower Vase On Modern Doily

I was inspired by an antique lampshade and a flower

vase that have roses designed on them.  This is what gave me the idea for the Rose Doily.

Below is a photo of my Curtain Tie Back that I designed a while back.  It's nice to have matching home decorations and accessories.  I can see that I need to add a dark pink border to the Rose Tieback, don't you think so?

The pattern for the Tieback is available at this site; the pattern for the Rose Doily is pending.

Have a Blessed Day!

She Is Ready For A Cooler Weather!

I ordered a display mannequin from Amazon and I am happy to have her.  She is easy to work with.  The price is also very reasonable.  Even though she is made of plastic yet she looks great and because she is plastic, she is very light.  The arms and head are removable and can be moved to change position.  She has eyelashes.  I have to put a bit of lipstick on her lips so that she does not look too pale; I applied eyeliner also.  I also darkened the edges of her irises to diminish the googly appearance on her face.  She looks more natural now.  She is wearing the "Snow Flower" shawlette and the hat that I made.  She really is ready for a cooler weather!

Happy FALL SEASON to all!!!
