Melt My Heart

Musings on Life and Beauty

We’ve had some long days lately, and despite my best efforts at naps and early bedtimes, I’ve got some tired little bodies around here.  When I saw this, my heart sighed a long sigh.


Two thoughts hit me simultaneously.  “She’s so big!” and “She’s so little!”


She had climbed in the basket and just went to sleep.  I couldn’t have posed her more sweetly.


Sound asleep, while the whole family sat and watched her in wonder.  Babies are wonderful things.








Sweet Dreams, little one.

Vintage Tablecloth: Flowered Ribbon & Bouquets

Linens



On a solid white background, this cloth features four large flower bouquets in the corners and smaller bouquets at the center of each side.  A ribbon, decorated with coordinating flowers, dances around the entire cloth, pulling it all together.


Measuring 47 by 53 inches, this cloth has no tag or markings of any kind.  It has a few faint stains, none of which detract from the beauty of the piece.  I love the rich green leaves and the happy flowers.

Thank you, Sis Boom!

Quilting and Sewing

Imagine my total surprise when I received an email saying that I’d won some fat quarters from Sis Boom, by Jennifer Paganelli.
There are few things better than an unexpected package to make your day.  Talk about cute!  I’ve always loved her designs, but didn’t have any of these prints.  They will be fun to mix into new projects.


I’m looking at them wistfully, wishing for some time to sew.

I am craving creativity.
Sometimes life is so intense that every minute must be spent just working to make our family function.  Now is one of those times.

Still, I’m longing to MAKE something!

Long sigh.

Back to the laundry.
