Sweet Gifts and Sewing

Hello sweet friends! I hope everyone had a very happy Mother's Day. I enjoyed a lovely day at home with my dear husband, sweet son and Pearl the poodle. For my Mother's Day gift my sweet son wanted me to order something from Etsy. He knows how I love shopping at Etsy! So he helped me pick out a few pretty things. I would like to thank my sweet friend Heather for telling me about this lovely shop , and the sweet and talented lady that makes these pretties!





I love these strawberries! The fabric, roses and ribbon are all so pretty!




And the little pincushion is so sweet! Everything was sewn beautifully! I also ordered some vintage-looking lace from her for sewing projects.



My dear husband gave me this cute sweater from Target. I love it! Thank you for letting me share my sweet gifts with you. Now, lets go into the sewing room.



I recently purchased this book at JoAnn with a 50% off coupon. As many of you know there are several more books in the series, and I plan to purchase them, as I was so pleased with this one. My first project was this little fabric box.



It was very easy to make and I was able to use scraps leftover from the purses I made below!



I found a fabulous and free pattern for these purses at Made By Rae. She has a lovely blog with lots of pretty things she sews!



You can use fat quarters to make these bags. I was so happy I had several fat quarters of this beautiful Barefoot Roses fabric to make them with. I enjoyed making these Buttercup bags so much! Rae's instructions are well-written and easy to follow! Thank you Rae, and thank you for sharing your pattern!!!

Thank you for stopping by my Rose Cottage today. I hope you all have wonderful week ahead!
