Ladder Tweaking on Mom's Birthday

 Today is my mother's 13th birthday in heaven. Oh, how, I wish we could turn back time!

Yesterday, I took her picture out of the spare room to post it on facebook in honor of her.

 Seeing her beautiful face, just sitting on the table, I felt the need to honor her a little bit more and keep her out, in full view, in our living room.

I found the perfect spot!

 She's taking center stage above our mantel.

I will be reminiscing, many loving memories, as she looks down upon me from her rustic perch and wishing that she could wrap her arms around me one more time!!!

Happy 93rd Birthday, Mom!

Love, Hugs and Kisses,

JP

and Gucci, too!

It was a Pumpkin and Pin Cushion Kinda Day

  and now I wanna keep some on our mantel!
I spent a good part of my day, on Sunday, making little pumpkins. I used sweaters, scarves and other assorted fabrics.

I had fun with pearls and rhinestones, lace and twine and hand torn shabby ribbons. I added pearl head pins to each one....they now make cute, little, pin cushions, too!

The orange ones were so darn cute that I had to try them on our mantel.

I love their "pop" of color....they're brighter than the ones that were there before....you can see the way it was here.

I made them all to put in the shop....now, I know I'll have to make some more!

This little, white one's a keeper and it's "staying put" right here!

Right in our entry, on my little, white washed ladder.  The red cushions on the floor are our "sit upon's"....you can see that post, here, too.

I'm working on another centerpiece and tablescape and hoping for a bright day, tomorrow. Wish me luck, I need it for the photo shoot...it's gonna be a beauty!

Love, Hugs and Kisses,
JP
