In this project we customize the common home theme for traditional embroidery. This lovely embroidery may have various uses. I would put it on the pillow and place on my favorite piece of furniture like an armchair where I am relaxing during long winter evenings. It would be also a perfect present ...

Today's post is brought to you by... the letter L! I mentioned it in my last post - our baby girl's name is going to be Lila. Lila Marian to be exact (Marian is my grandmothers name). Do you remember on the TV show Friends, when Rachel has her baby Emma, they have a large letter E hanging on ...

Currently I'm working on the soft furnishings for Charlotte's bedroom - so far I've made the curtains (a tutorial on that tomorrow) and I have cut out the quilt. With the scraps, I decided to make this little pillow for the green chair in her room. It was inspired by this Anthropologie one. ...
