Fancy Cocktail Apron

I couldn't wait to see what was in this months goodie box from 

 A Gilded Life

Now what to create with all that gorgeous fabric and lace?

I know how about a 

Fancy Cocktail Apron 

just in time for those upcoming Holidays.

So much better than Grannies hand me downs, don't you think?

Champagne anyone?

Hoping to catch up on my blogging by this weekend.

See you soon!

Final Voyage- A Siren's Song

Honestly I don't know where the summer has gone. I'm calling this my Bummer Summer as all I've really done is work. I guess that's much better than not having work, but not much time to play makes me cranky.
O.K. enough about that. Here's a little something I had a BLAST creating..

I call this a Story box. It opens in the front to reveal a fabric story board.

You turn the sea urchin knobs on top to move the fabric to tell the story.

Stamped images by Oxford Impressions and collage images by Alpha Stamps

Its about a sailor leaving his family behind on his ocean journey 

Only to be lured into the sea by the Sirens Song 

The End  shows his little girl mourning her father passing.

There are many more panels but only posted a few so you get the idea.

Hope your summer is going well.

A Gilded Life Keepsake Pillow

Continuing on with my second project for 

A Gilded Life

I created a little keepsake pillow with a little pocket in the front.

I used the gorgeous vintage laces 

the rest of the trim and vintage applique on the front.

I can't wait to see what we get to play with next month!!!
