Meadow Street ROSES ~

Several people have asked me if I make

the roses I use for display in some of my photos.

I wish

I could take credit for them , but I can't ~

So...I asked Erica if I could post about her

amazing talent and beautiful roses.

Vintage Pincushion Makeover ~

Yesterday I decided to revamp an old pincushion that I had. I should have taken pictures as I went along, but alas once again I forgot. I think it is my age...LOL

This is the *AFTER* picture and I love how it turned out ~

This is the *BEFORE* picture...looks a little sad. I did love the color, however it had a lot of stains and old paint and I can't even imagine what all on it so I decided to go ahead and remake it. (you can't see the stains as they are on the other side) The inside of it had old cheesecloth covering *SOMETHING*...I think it was some type of hair...maybe horse hair...at any rate I left it all intact except the outer cover...what do you think?? Should I have left it as is ?

Praying you have a beautiful day today...

Blessings ~
