Hello everyone . . . I do hope that you are having a
wonderful day
and that every moment is a happy one.
Today I thought that I would post these two pillows
that I made
for the cabin of Gypsy Rose.
It was a fun project using art from
First I copied the art into Publisher,
then inverted it and printed it onto transfer paper.
Next I ironed it onto fabric that I used to make my pillows.
I don’t want to go “overboard” (play on boat terms)
with a gypsy theme, but I did want a little vintage gypsy added to the interior.
What do you think?
I cannot wait to have the interior done and show you
the finished cabin.
Also this week I received this amazing package in the mail from Meri Wiley
http://imagimeris.blogspot.com/
I was her 400th follower and she blessed me with this.
And these . . . they are postcards. I haven’t quite decided what I am going to do
with them, but I have a lot of ideas going through my head.
I am thinking that they might even make a great signature card,
that I can use to end each post with,
see what you think.

Well, I am leaving Steve and Butchy for a few days
and
heading to Oregon to visit our daughter and granddaughters.
I’ll catch up with you all when I get back .

unless I have some time to blog while I’m there.
Have a wonderful weekend and see you all
soon.
Your blogging sister,
Your blogging sister,
Yes, the postcards are great for the end of your post. I am envisioning Gypsy Rose as a floating love nest. The pillows are so romantic. I keep changing my inner picture of what she will look like!
ReplyDeleteHi Donna, I envision a gypsy wagon as having lots of pillows and rich colors. Her cabin is small but I think that I can give it a little gypsy flare. Our ideas of romance change a bit after 37 years, but we are very much in love, and a little romance is a good thing:)
DeleteI haven't seen you in awhile, and I now think I was off the day of your post below. Your tulips and drawings are wonderful! These pillows are awesome! And I like that each Gypsy has a musical instrument. I love everything about them!! I hope you have a great trip!
ReplyDeleteHi Ginny, and thank you so much :)
DeleteI lost my comment, I hope it is because of comment moderation!

DeleteThose cushions are just perfect and will certainly brighten Gypsy Rose up. Enjoy your break with your daughter and granddaughters, I am sure they will be thrilled to be able to spend time with you xxx
ReplyDeleteHello Fran, I'm looking froward to spending time with them.. I'm planing a picnic for Saturday . . . we'll have a great time and mom can stay home and get some studying done :) I just hope the weather is nice :) If not we'll visit the library or grab our umbrellas and take a nice walk. I hope that your weekend is a nice one, too. I've got dinner in the oven with about 20 more minutes until ready, so I'm off :)
DeleteI love your sweet visits, Connie :)
I love your pillows- I've been thinking of making a couple for our new camper. Be safe traveling- I am jealous- what beautiful country you will be going to.

Dear Connie. I have not known how to transfer an image onto fabric and was scared to try : ) Seeing your pictures has made me see that it is not too complicated after all. I remember those postcard images from Graphics Fairy - lovely

I forgot to say thank you for your comment on my Careful ways freebie. I think your suggestion to ask 'Will this make me happy' etc was so good and I wanted to put it on the image, but I had problems adding my text to the image and could not face going back and changing it.
ReplyDeleteLove the cushions Connie they'll look lovely on board your boat. Have a great time with your family and a safe journey. The postcards are excellent and a good idea to finish your posts.

ReplyDeleteHi Connie! Thank you for stopping by my blog, becoming a follower and leaving that wonderful comment. I like your cushions! I am wanting to make some new ones for my living room and this gives me some ideas for images on them. I have been looking around your blog and I am in awe of your artistic talent. Your art journal pages are absolutely amazing. Thank you for bringing sunshine my way, and for the invitation to come visit you :)

Great pillows. I hope the weather in Oregon is nice for you. I woke up to 35 degrees and snow here in WA. I had to run and take down all my hanging baskets. :-(
