~chippy pink paint and vintage doorknobs~

~well peeps~

it has been way too long, why do i always think summer will slow down a little?

did i forget i would have my three wonderful, lively kids home!!

well i have been working on some projects here and there

but today i'm just gonna show you this charming shelf i found in an antique store

it was kinda pricey for something i could make, but it was just so charming

~and chippy~

and i can NEVER resist

~vintage crystal doorknobs ~

well, there's not a whole lot of pink happening in my home right now

{apart from sweet 17s totally pink bedroom}

so i just perched it here in an old milk crate

where i have a rag quilt, an old burlap coffee sack, one of my paris pillows....

an old wooden shoe form

cute dragon rag quilt

One of my most favorite things to make are rag quilts

so I thought I'd show you the cute rag quilt I just finished up for an etsy customer...

she wants it for her little boy to take to daycare

it started out like this....big pile of yummy fabrics

which became a big pile of yummy squares...

which became a pile of strips...
(sorry about the lighting, it was dark by the time I got to this stage!)

which became this big quilt....

lots of snip, snip, snipping....

and finally a bright and cuddly dragon rag quilt

I looooove making rag quilts, they are time consuming for sure, but I love how soft and cuddly they turn out, and they just get raggier and cuddlier with each wash.

here are a few others I've made...

construction trucks

L'll cowboys

retro florals

pretty in pink

each one becomes a forever treasure
