Blue & White Statement Textile Necklace




* Part of my new collection, this one-of-a-kind textile necklace is fun, lively, expressive, imperfect, eclectic, unconventional, genuine and simple, yet brave.

* Fabric, long strips

* no clasp, goes on over head

* fibers wrapped around focal coil

* measures 28 " from top to bottom, 17" from top down to first coil

* band at nape of neck measures less than 1/2" wide

* Due to the length of necklace, may be shipped folded or coiled

* To ensure this item will last, spot cleaning is recommended. Please do not shower, swim or bathe while wearing.  Due to handcrafting, no two items are ever alike.  Please expect variation in color, stitching and patterns.

Fabric, vintage buttons and colors speak to me, excite me, and shout of creative possibilities.  Even the smallest bits and pieces of exquisite fabrics are cherished and nestled away, where they wait to become an integral part of just the right project.

Hours of love and attention to detail went into this wearable art.  This necklace is accented with fibers, stitching, beads, buttons, charms, and two of my handmade fabric flowers, which I use whenever I can.  Hand-stitching as well as machine-stitching were used to put this piece together.
I loved making this necklace and I hope it speaks to you and your individuality. I hope you'll be proud to call it your own.  Perhaps this vibrant piece can become one of your favorites.

Faith Bigger Than Your Fear Crimson Toile Pillow Cover




* Crimson Toile Custom Made Inspirational Faith Throw Toss Pillow Cover  16" 

$12 + $3.75 shipping SOLD

* Lovingly handcrafted by me for you!!! Custom orders are welcome! Need something in a different color/quote? Feel free to contact me.

*  Inspirational words "Let Your Faith Be Bigger Than Your Fear" grace the center of this cover.  This item makes a wonderful gift!

* Each pillow cover will need a 16" pillow insert. Inserts can be found at any home goods store. You can make your own or just stuff with polyfill & stitch up the back, or close with safety pins or just reclaim an old pillow that you may have lying around the house. 

* Each pillow cover measures approximately 15" x 15".  I usually make my covers a little smaller than the pillow to get just the right plumpness & fullness. (The photo shows the cover enclosing a 16" pillow insert).

The pillow covers will arrive with folds. 

* The back of each pillow cover is finished envelope-style for easy removal of insert. This item will need to be ironed after each wash. I recommend washing inside out and covering the letters with a cloth when ironing. Due to handcrafting, no two items are alike. Due to handcrafting, please expect a small variance in size.

* I used French seams on the interior of this pillow cover. So, there are no raw edges. Interior stitches have been reinforced.

* This item is the perfect pop of color & romance for your bed, sofa, chaise or favorite chair.

* I enjoyed creating this pillow cover & hope that it's exactly what you're looking for to decorate your home.


* This item will be folded & shipped in an envelope. Thanks for understanding!

Pearls & Charms Red Romantic Chic Toile Custom Made Accent Pillow



We've got pearls, charms, toile & lace!!!

This custom-made pillow was handcrafted using a designer toile remnant & beautiful red lace from a vintage piece of lingerie (Perfectform half slip). It has been accented by hand with vintage buttons, faux pearl beads, silver-tone charms, a washer & an embroidered "Engine" patch. I'm working on a similar one with pink lace. I'll load it up when it's complete.


This pillow measures approximately 10" wide & 9 1/2" high. 


I really enjoyed creating this pillow & hope you'll consider giving it a new home. This pillow will fit in nicely with any grouping of pillows. Add a touch of elegance to your decor with this custom-made pillow.

This item is currently listed for sale on eBay.  However, I love custom orders & enjoy the challenge of creating a special item you'll feel proud to add to your home decor!!!

My Fantastic Blue Monday Mood!

Happy Blue Monday everyone! I'm in a fantastic blue mood. Thanks to Smiling Sally for hosting!!! You guys know I love my handcrafted flowers. The first flower crafted from vintage bridal satin is of Lucille Ball, of course. Who doesn't love Lucy? The 2nd is Chipette Brittany. I created that one for my daughter Taylor's birthday. The 3rd is Chipette Eleanor, which was made for my daughter Madison's birthday. I recycled one of my girls' denim jeans & created a wall pocket. I just love the country blue fabric. After making the flowers, I attached sticks from my yard to the back & this pretty is hanging on the wall of my kids' bedroom. Just love the little dream tag.
Now for the piece de resistance! With Mother's Day in less than a week & my Granny's birthday just 2 days after that, I was thinking of  my grandmother Mary. She's no longer with us, but she's remembered & loved more & more every day.






All of my flowers can be custom made. Whether you need a hair clip, headband or a brooch, I love custom orders. Just contact me & I'll do my best to create something special for you. 
Happy Blue Monday guys and Thanks for stopping by!
