Sewing and Selling and Thrifting

I did make one of the 3 pillows I wanted to make this weekend. Hand sewn in the middle of the night listening to Leadbelly (“John Harding was a desperate little man..”) this is my 1970s native american fabric pillow

This pillow – beautiful crewel on old black velvet, thrifted in Saturday’s beautiful sunlight. (We have had an amazing amount of sunlight this February here in Michigan)

And a new Cathrineholm plate from the Sunday flea market.

I started collecting vintage cookware because I like having beautiful useful things. This enamelware is a little fussy though and you want to treat it kindly, because it has lived already a long time and given good service.

I am not sure which picture I like better

I wanted to put our new sputnick lamp here, but it would bump our heads going down the stairs, sadly, sadly (though I love the blue).

I love this fabric. I just found it again at the bottom of a heaped up shelf unit. I will try to make a pillow with this soon.

Now I am going for a quick walk while we still have sunlight.Tomorrow is Pączki day.
