Mommy & Me

Hi everyone!!

I absolutely LOVE this new gift set!! I chose this little ladybug because she just soooo seemed to go along with the baby's name!! The set not only takes care of baby, but mom too. My "Rest & Relax" pillow is microwaveable and then GREAT for labor pains, tension head aches and when your new bundle of joy has a tummy ache. For this order they asked for a lavender scent, but other scents are also available.

What I love most about my special little orders is that I am able to look at those that will receive the order and customize their gift. I have never had so much joy in my life!!! It is so exciting that at times I think I need someone to pinch me, it is truly an INCREDIBLE dream!!!

Two is better than one...

Hi everyone!

Well tonight I am posting both an indoor project and an outdoor project. Since I last posted indoor chairs, here is one of my vintage outdoor chairs that I have redone!

And when I haven't been working on outside projects, I've been working on indoor projects! :D This apron is for the Herb Society. Since my new machine can also make lace and INCREDIBLE designs, I've included a lace heart on this apron. It just seemed to fit with the design of the fabric. I also lined this apron, so I just LOVE the feel of the finished product!! This is one project that I would LOVE to keep!! :D

Tomorrow I'll reveal my new "Mommy & Me" gift set!! It is soooooo cute!!! That is what is just so amazing about this new path that I am on; each day is just an INCREDIBLE new adventure!!

Enjoy your Friday evening!!

Chair face lift

Hi everyone!

In my quest to get all my projects completed before I go back into the classroom, today I tackled these chairs. I have needed to put the new cushions on them for about two years!! I like this fabric because it has a quilt look & a cottage feel all at the same time!!

Tomorrow, outdoor chairs!! :D

Progress

Hi Everyone!

Curiosity Cottage is not just a place where I sew and create things to sell & give as gifts, it is also a place where I am creating my vision down to the last detail. This includes the outside of my humble little house as well. My 2 1/2 acres, which is mostly wooded also has a little sandy creek. My vision and what I am working so hard for, is to have my yard landscaped with cottage gardens. I am going to rely a lot on the natural plants on my land, but there is still a lot of work to do!! There is nothing quite like the feeling though of going to bed so tired you can barely move and yet knowing you got sooooo many things accomplished!!!

Curiosity Cottage has so blessed my life and my kids' lives!!! We could not be happier!! My son has been so excited about helping me with my projects, I could not help but show him at work today! :D

Money doesn’t grow on trees...

Hi everyone!

Well I have moved from fabric to paint for this project. My little adopted beagle, Daisy, decided she would clean out my purse for me and shredded a dollar. I could not bring myself to throw the torn up dollar away. SSSSSooooo several months later I came up with this idea!! It was fun and I got to put the dollar back into art, so then it did not quite feel like I was throwing it away!

Have a GREAT Sunday!!

Children are a gift from God!!

Hi everyone!

Children are truly a gift from God, which makes designing things for them such an honor and a joy!! This baby quilt is one of the most exciting things that I have done. A friend asked me yesterday if I had a pattern; no, I made the three embroidered pieces and then just played with fabric after that until I had a look that I liked...but in this case I just LOVED the outcome!! My precious new baby cousin has fun parents who also love art, so they are also thrilled with there gift!!

Recently I was described as a "fabric artist." I just loved that and so embrace using fabric and mixed media for my creations. Because they are unique it makes each one an exciting new adventure!!!

It is only Saturday, I have the whole weekend to make more fun things!!

See you soon!

With this ring...

Hi everyone!!

I am so excited to be debuting my new design "With this Ring." It is designed to be used to present an engagement ring to cherish that day, but can then also be used at your wedding for the ring bearer. In addition, it is made in such a way that the pillow can come out of the case and be put in a shadow box. This one was designed with this particular bride-to-be in mind, but can be altered for a promise ring too. All my orders are customized with the colors and fabrics of your choice!!

I cannot wait to see what she thinks and would love your feedback too!!

Hugs!
Jen
