Pink SAturday, Teabag Roses, and a GIVEAWAY!!!!


Hello Everybody!!
Happy Pink Saturday!!

First of all today, I would love to show you yet another
wonderfully created piece using my tea bag rose tutorial.
(and it happens to have pink in it too) =0)

Jana @ Collected Treasures
Made this lovely framed piece after she read my tutorial.
Then she did the cutest post about it.
Please take time to go visit her place and see all the lovely work she does.

It is so rewarding for me, when I have taken the time to
do a tutorial, to see what people have created.


Now, on to some more pink for you today:


A Pink vignette in a small case.


More sweet pinks

A vintage, smocked, child's pink apron.



My Mom at her birthday lunch last month.



And my first ever Baby Shoe Pin Cushion.



I used a doily my Mom made for the pin cushion part,
and vintage crochet lace trim for around the edge.
A vintage earring is the trim on the front of it,
and creamy vintage buttons on top.
I think it is done, but still pondering.


I did this using Dawn's Tutorial. (the feathered nest)
She does wonderful tutorials, and has a great blog.
She is so great to share her ideas and treasures with everyone!
(if you go over now, she has several giveaways listed there.)

this baby shoe pin cushion is prize 2!!!
working on prize 3. =)
