My Work Table with Spun Cotton Ornaments to Finish

The little red mouse guards my thread!










I bought her a few years ago in an antique shop.

She works for free!






I have lots of vintage and victorian lace to pick from.
Can't pass up a piece of lace for sale when I go to the antique shop.

I brought out a few of my vintage Easter decorations. The 2 ducklings on the right were real ducklings at one time. In the 1950's they made  easter ornaments this way, they killed and stuffed them. .... poor babies. 
I believe they were made in Japan.


Here are a few pictures of my work table.
The little kitty with the ballerina dress came from a flea market long ago.



My Spun Cotton Chickens are waiting for Easter outfits.


My Next project is my old Victorian Doll House. I just had it brought down to my studio from the second floor.
I'm working on cleaning and decorating it.

Can't Wait For Spring!


Here is my Victorian Garden as it looks right now.  Can't wait for spring to see my beautiful flowers start to peek their heads out.
And thats a Hawk in front of my window, he swoops down on our birds and bunnies for his dinners.
This is my garden in the summer,  And thats my studio. I'm just posting a couple of my pictures of flowers in my garden.



 This is Bella one of our girls!


And this is Maggie,  our other pug. I was given her when she was a year old. She came from a very bad situation.
 That was 7 years ago, she's so spoiled!
And last but not least is our yorkie Zoey!

Creepy Elves?

Some people think my life size elves are creepy but I love them!
 


It's finally over...

The Holidays were nice but I'm glad to get back to normal. I just hate taking the trees down they look so nice.

Antique Reproduction Spun Cotton Frog Ornaments

I love making these spun cotton reproductions from the Victorian Era. The look of each frog is very different but they are both so cute! The frog on the left is holding a miniature antique reproduction postcard and I gave him glass eyes. I just recently started working with glass eyes and I think it adds so much more character to the piece. The frog on the right is all dressed up in his hat and collar. ornamentsbypink.etsy.com
