Jacket Finished and Mailed...

Jean Jacket With Custom Embroideries

 

My jacket project is finished and will go in the mail today. It will arrive in time for my client to wear it to her next dog show Valentine's weekend. I think she'll really draw attention wearing it.

I'm scheduled for a long-overdue massage this afternoon. I haven't had one since my last pampering session with Krisann, and that was last winter in Florida! I'm really going to enjoy the attention. Plymouth, here I come! 

 

I'm taking the rest of the day off and will be back in the studio on Saturday morning. Another commission is waiting for my attention, and I'll be listing more fabrics and projects in my shop this weekend. More tomorrow. Toodles!

Embroidery Placement Options

 

Destiny and I have been working on a custom order for corgi embroideries on a client's jacket. These are the two layouts from which I gave her a choice. We agreed on Layout 1.
 

I'll be embroidering the designs today so I can ship it to her by tomorrow. I think my client is going to love her new jacket! Do you agree?

Farmhouse Renovation - Finished Master Bedroom...

Wool Cushion I Made For Mom

 

My Tasha Tudor book and the cushion I hand stitched for Mom sit right inside our bedroom door. Sis gave the cushion back to me after Mom passed. I treasure it.

 

Chair Caned By Mom - Now Mine

 

They book and cushion now sit on a chair that was hand caned by Mom. It's one of the last pieces she worked on, and I'm fortunate to have two of her caned chairs. 

 

Our Paul Bunyan Bed

Our Paul Bunyan bed greets us as we enter the doorway into the master bedroom. The top of the mattress is 33" off the floor. I may need a small step stool in the future so I'll be able to get into bed.

Long Dresser

I admit it. There's a television in our bedroom. At the end of the day, I like to head upstairs and watch programs I've recorded.

Valentina is also on the dresser, along with a few favorite photographs. I'll be putting something on the wall (mirror or special framed piece) after I decide what I want there.

 

Armoire

This is the west wall of our room. The armoire fits here perfectly, along with a comfortable chair for putting on shoes or sitting to read a good book.

 

Our Finishing Touch - A Favorite Photo Series

 

This photo series is Handsome and my favorite. It used to hang above our bed in Florida, and now it hangs above our Wisconsin bed. It's where it belongs.

 

So, there you have it. A mini tour of our master bedroom. The next room on our agenda is the kitchen. I'll tell you more about that in an upcoming post. For now, we're going to enjoy having another completed space in our old farmhouse.
