A great weekend

Quite a few things are going on in the Price House today!  We were travelers all weekend and coming home just made me want to jump into work a bit.  

I have been working on a new "up cycled" skirt, which I am excited about...I feel like I am getting ready for the Fall and working with the corduroy has been great.  I hope to finish this by the end of the week!  When I started working on this, I saw so many possibilities for skirts, but I am a sucker for a long patchwork skirt...so there it is!

 

What was great about this weekend as well is that I was able to finish a gift for a friend! I really like how this up cycled pillow turned out.  It is amazing how abandoned curtains and cords can turn out so cool looking!  A nice little accent, if I do say so myself!

With all this wonderful creativity flowing, I have to point out that the best part of the weekend was traveling to see family.  That is what it all comes down too..don't you think?  Putting love into our creations.  Be it a skirt, a pillow, a painting, or, most of all, a family. To make something great, you must first put in the thought, and with that thought, your heart.

I wish you the most blessed week and positive creativity!

This has been a wonderful week! I reorganized my work space, I was able to finish a quilt, feeling a bit more inspired and I know in the back of my head that Fall will be here soon.  I have plans to weed the gardens, begin sewing new ideas and to finally settle in to the business that I have been wanted to to plunge in too.

I thought you would like to see the quilt I finished! It is amazing how many thoughts are sewn into a quilt.  Your mind tends to wander as you work and I find that with each patten, stitch and tie, the thoughts are woven in. It is quite a process, but it was very therapeutic.

Here it is..by the way..did I mention this is the first completed quilt I have ever made? I have made tops, but this was the first binding, backing and laying I have done.:

I have to say, I would definitely do this again. But now, I have the desire to work on skirts with corduroy and wild patterns.  Looking forward to some creativity!

Blessings-

Summer brings wonderful things

The Summer brings so many things!

This Summer has brought so many beautiful things! Garage Sale time has been in full swing and I have been so fortunate to find some amazing vintage items!  Everything from cats to dogs to planters to slips..and array of eye candy and glorious treasures!

I know I feel overwhelmed by the wonderful amount of things, but when ever is there enough treasures? 

I am also happy to say that JclaireP has had the best month yet! I am so excited to see the growing number of fans and people who appreciate the beauty of a vintage item or a custom made skirt.  Simple things that bring a nostalgic breeze to our minds or the comfort of a soft cotton that lets us feel just a little cooler in the Summertime.  It is so appreciated and I can not say enough thanks to the family, friends and customers who have made this a wonderful month!

 

So, on that note, I look forward to finishing out the Summer and seeing what the Fall will bring.  Soon it will be time to prepare for the Winter season and the wonderful events that the holidays bring.  Not to rush things of course...But, until then, enjoy the wonderful things that Summer brings!
