Love Crafts
You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
– Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.
– Franklin D. Roosevelt
The world is but a canvas to the imagination.
– Henry David Thoreau
Odd how the creative power at once brings the whole universe to order.
– Virginia Woolf
The door knob pillow, pincushion and note cards — these lovely creations were all made by the very creative and giving Odette. She surprised me with these presents a few months ago. Aren’t they so pretty? Check out the details of that hand-stitched pincushion! Lovely, lovely. The moment my eyes fell on these creations, I immediately knew she poured her heart out into these. These were definitely made with love. Love crafts, they should be called.
Hop on over to her blog and see what other creations are up her sleeve.
Thank you O, for bringing such wonderful warmth to our home.

how sweet! i especially love the door ornament
) and the pincushion–the amount of details–whoa. that must have taken a lot of patience.
i have a shutterbug question
) i’ve been admiring your photos with rounded edges lately. Do you have a quick way of doing this? And I like the vintage hues of your photos, as well. The degree is just right. May i ask for tips on how you achieved those looks? Thanks!
