busy

A busy Easter bank holiday weekend, have five ring pillow orders to fill and ship out for tomorrow, have spent the days cutting and stamping and sewing and stuffing.  Most especially fiddling to get things just in their nicest, best order.  Love being so busy with orders, wish every week brought me so many!

In 'real life' we have four weddings this week in the flower shop, everyone is tying the knot it seems.  I love making wedding flowers, maybe not so much as making pillows but close.  Wish I could sew all day.

I love wool and lace together, it's a classic Irish combination, the two great Irish textiles (linen, you're a close third).  When I see wool and lace together it just speaks out loud to me.

These cushions by Etsy seller Emma Dear speak to me, loud and clear, they say 'hey Jesse I bet you wish we were at your house'.  They not only are wool and lace, but they are made with repurposed fabric cut from vintage men's suits.  Some of them still have the plackets and the buttons and the labels.  The labels.  The labels are saying to me 'yeah, we are so charming it's killing you isn't it?'

Emma Dear has hundreds and hundreds of things that keep speaking to me, taunting me.  This recession can end any day now, seriously.
