Hand beading a veil

My daughter requested this veil for her wedding on the 23rd of July, so I thought I would share what I did! First I cut out the two bottom corners so that they curved nicely, then with a beading needle and doubling my white thread, I knotted the thread right into the tulle. This makes it so the thread doesn't slip through since there isn't much for it to hold on to. Then started with 3 of the clear beads, 1/4" from the edge of the veil....made a small stitch in the tulle and three of the glossy beads. I continued to alternate in this manner all the way around the sides and curves, leaving the top edge to gather on the comb. This need up being a perfect weight and fell nicely around her shoulders!

Mini Dresden Plate Pincushion

With a few small little leftover pieces and this adorable vintage milk white bowl, I made this super easy pincushion for my sewing room!  These instructions are so easy to follow and you will find it come together very quickly!

Micro Mini Log Cabin Heart Pattern

Love is definitely a funny thing. The dictionary describes it as an intense feeling of deep affection. Wikipedia explains love as ‘encompasses a range of strong and positive emotional and mental states.’ However we try to explain it or understand it, love is very exciting, complicated and even painful.  I have spent a good portion of my life dedicated to those I love, by comitting my time, energy, and efforts while creating lasting and meaninful relationships. I have collected these lasting memories that are being stored on the shelves of my life. James M. Barrie said it perfectly; “God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December.” I still remember my first love...Ah! The sweetness of young love! We were in Grade 1, and on Valentine’s Day he presented me with the most wonderful handmade gift, a stuffed heart. It was made of flannel and had white lace around the outer edges. It looked like it was something he made, with hot glue holding it together, although I am sure he ...
