I`m so excited, today I received in the mail my ebay purchase~ 20 rolls of VINTAGE seam binding in many different shades. I shall be listing some in my Etsy store~ Bitofvintage. I like it scrunched but I also sell it smooth. It`s great for scrapbooking and tyeing around gifts.................................I have also used it to hang ornaments or.....................anything pretty......The dark pink one is soooo pretty!

Well, I didn`t get any muslin dyed today. The boys were off school for Presidents day so I was limited in my crafting. I did, however, spend some time creating some new crepe paper frills~

some pretty ones with tulle and rhinestones and some focused around Easter.

I did pretty good on Ebay today, somebody bought 8 of my pretty hand made items, hopefully it will keep up............................

Happy Valentines Day!

Today I have decided to start my blog, a place to share my thoughts, ideas and creativity.

I have recently been inspired to follow my passion for creating beautiful things and have just opened my Etsy store, Bitofvintage.

I love to decorate, I love all things vintage and I LOVE shabby chic. I am trying to pull all these things together in the items that I produce~ ~~~~~~

It`s 10pm, my children and husband are in bed, it`s my time to let my mind wander and imagine what wonderful things I can create..............I love my muslin ribbons, this picture is one of my favourites- the pink butterfly on French lettering. I`m trying to think of a new idea for the muslin, I have my bookmarks and my gift tags, but I just know there`s something else out there waiting to be created with this simple cotton fabric.............totes, aprons....they have all been done....... I think I need to start by dying the fabric in some of my favourite shabby chic colors~ pale pink, mint green and china blue~That`s what I`ll do first, and then the rest will follow..............
