I got a new sewing machine.
Well, I actually got it for Christmas 2 years ago,
but just this week got it out to mess around with.
I have been making pillows and lavender sachets like crazy out of my new favorite thing~grain and feed sacks~
{The pillow in the front I made yesterday, the 2 in the back were purchased previously}
I have also made a few of these fabric pennant garland banners.This one I made entirely out of Cath Kidston fabrics.
I love the colors and patterns in her fabrics!
I got this hammock at a garage sale a couple weeks ago.It was $5!
Brand new in the box!
It has been a great place to lounge
around in our warm
weather we have been experiencing
from time to time here!
Here is a closeup of one of the pennant garlands.
And another I made out of various Cath Kidston fabrics.
My goal today is to make a seat cushion for that blue bench!
Wish me luck!

Used to sew, don't anymore - wish I liked it - don't - envy those who do - everything looks so wonderful and cheery, I'd love to have some of the pillow you made - they look delightful girl! Jennifer jennsthreegraces
Great! I love Cath Kidston fabrics!
Those pillows are way fun! Great job on all of your projects! Cannot wait to see more!
Great pillows - love the grain sacks too - I'm anxious to see what you do with the bench. So then I'll know what to do to mine. You're an inspiration for sure.
Saw your write up on Dreamy Whites - Congratulations, it's nice to know you a little better.

I love this garland.... so sweet!!
I need to hang our hammock. I'm having trouble finding a good spot. My FIL got it for us in Mexico at our beach wedding...almost 2 years ago.I love it, I just need to find the perfect spot!
Those garlands are so pretty. I'll have to look for some Cath Kidston fabric.
I want one of those banners! So cool! Those pillows are awesome too! Where do you find that fabric at? Did you order it online?
AHHHH!!!! I'm so jealous about the $5 hammock, lucky duck=0) Everything else is gorgeous too!

Beautiful pictures and it makes me homesick...I saw those rodies one of my favorite things about the N.W. I used to take them for granted but funny how they are what I miss the most, well besides my Grandson.
I have a new sewing machine I bought 6 months ago that I need to break out!! Pillows are on the top of my list but your banners inspire me! Great job!

I know your seat cushion will be lovely. I sure do love your new five dollar hammock all decked out so beautifully Melanie.
My MIL just gave me some old feedsacks and I can't wait to do something with them too.

Hallo, Sweden here....
I must tell you, that I still love your virtual & image blog!! Amazing mix of pic's & so much inspiration!

Melaine the pillows are fab. I've been hunting for some grain sacks myself, so far a little too pricey. I especially love the Paris ones. You take such great photos - the hammock one is especially pretty.
Enjoy the weekend.

Love this! You are talented on the machine and what you're turning out is beautiful. Love the pendant and the hammock. The price you got it for is a find.
