Bloom where you are planted!

Hi everyone!

This is one of my favorite sayings!! I combined it with this precious floral design because they seemed such a perfect fit. After all, just because we wear aprons to work, doesn't mean we cannot have fun while we are moving our many mountains!!

What is GREAT about Louisiana???

Hi everyone!

Well this little guy combines all the things that are GREAT about Louisiana - Fleur de lis, crawfish and Mardi Gras!!! This is different from my earlier posts this week and just show what character a fleur de lis can possess!! Like I said on Saturday, Fall and Fleur de lis just go together perfectly!!

Hugs!

Fall and Fleur de Lis, a PERFECT fit!!

Hi everyone!

I am so excited with the way my Fleur de Lis have turned out!! While the traditional set of Saints towels is always popular, my Fleur de Lis towels with initials are truly elegant!! What is next for Fleur de Lis on the horizon? I am making Fleur de LC aprons and Fleur de Baby items too!!

Yes, and featured with the Saints towels is one of my lace Mardi Gras masks. You will be seeing a lot more of these as well!!

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!!

Hugs!

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

Hugs!
