MISS MOOX: DIY

Pink, lilac, sky blue, sunny yellow & minty green...
Yes... Spring is almost here!

Eggs are everyday reminders of new life.
Little Baby Chicks
Even our gardens are showing new signs of life...
Sunny yellow daffodils
Purple Crocus
Golden Forsythia

The sweet little girl is my husband's Mother, Anne . The photo was taken in the 1930s.
She is such a loving and wonderful Mother-in-love.
My bedroom is a peaceful respite decorated in powder blue, soft pink and buttery yellow.


I love sewing.
One of my favorite things to make are Heirloom baby garments.
I, especially, love Christening Gowns.
Soft white batiste, dainty pin tucks and embroidery.
What treasured keepsakes they make.

"Desert Rose " from my sweet Gramma.
I have many fond memories of family gathered around Gramma and Grampa's table on Easter Sunday.
She always served us on her beautiful Franciscan Ware.




A pretty little Rose teacup and saucer from my Mother.

Vintage touches...
Lace that my Gramma crocheted
Vintage plates from my thrifting adventures.

This pretty little cream and sugar are thrifted.
I love the feminine touch they give my cottage shelf.

A tiny little tea cup
Yes...Another thrifted treasure!

And now for a
SNEAK PEEK!

I've been having fun working on something special
for the Easter Swap.
Can you guess what I'm making?

"Ask, and it shall be given you;
Seek, and ye shall find;
Knock, and it shall be opened unto you."
Matthew 7:7

Last year I had the pleasure of making this little pinnie for my darling adopted daughter, Paula, of "Sweet Vintage Rose Cottage" She has become so very dear to me as she has gone through so many adversities with her health. We have prayed for each other every day and encouraged one another. If you haven't visited her lovely blog, please do. You will come away blessed by one of the sweetest, most feminine blogs, ever!

I love searching for little children's shoes at thrift stores and have found such precious ones. This is a little snippet of the "before"...that, I made darling Paula's little pink and white pinnie. Happily, I still have one more sweet little shoe waiting to become a pretty little pinnie!

Thank you so much for visiting and leaving me your kind comments!
Blessings, my dear friends!

Hello...My sweet friends! I posted my little icon photo yesterday and thought it might be fun to share just what that little RED shoe actually is...
Can you guess?

Yes...You guessed it! It's a pincushion...Made from a little child's RED patent leather shoe.

I find myself heading straight for the shoes when I go into a thrift store! There are so many darling little children's shoes...Some nearly new and others lovingly scuffed by the feet of little ones.

If any of you decide to make up your own little pinnie...Please let me know if you post it on your blog! I'd love to see it! :)

Have a wonderful weekend, my sweet friends!

Welcome to my Sewing Room...A place where I love to spend time!

Can you tell that RED IS MY FAVORITE COLOR ? Can you tell that I LOVE POLKA DOTS?

This week I am hoping to spend some quality time stitching up the final details on my "giveaway" for my first official visitor who commented on my blog...her name is Shirley of "Zetta's Apron" and her blog is delightful. I will be popping it in the mail. When I know Shirley has received her gift, I will post a photo of it! I pray you all have a wonderful week, my dear friends!
Blessings,
Carolynn xoxo
