The other day I made a pillow from Rachel Ashwell fabric that I have had in my stash for years, and last night I made a sweet little ruffled runner for my nightstand to match.
I love this sweet fabric but have to admit it is hard to work with. I have trouble getting a straight pin through even one thickness of it. It seems maybe the weave is very tight? I do remember at the time the fabric was pretty expensive...maybe I am just used to cheap fabric:) But it does looks lovely on my bed as a pillow, and now on my nightstand too.
A little white lilac I planted last year is starting to bloom. Makes me so happy I planted it! It is so sweet and delicate..I think it may be a dwarf lilac but I can't remember. Note to self, leave the tag on for at least a year.
I looked up what a white lilac is the symbol for and it said "youth and innocence". I so agree..it reminds me of pure innocence like a child has. There is nothing sweeter than that.
The rain is again with us here in the Pacific Northwest but forecast says we will have a beautiful weekend..may even make it to 70 degrees!
Spring is filling me with the urge to be creative so stay tuned for more projects.
Thanks for visiting! Receiving your sweet comments makes my day!

Your new pillow and runner are so pretty! I love frills. They're so feminine. Lilacs are one of my favourite flowers!
The fabric is so pretty and perfect for your runner.

Oh my, that's one of my favorite RA fabrics. I've been cruising ebay for some of it. It is expensive though. I think it's called British Rose? (or something like that). You're pillow and runner are beautiful. And I love the white lilac. I've never seen one before. It's stunning!
Very pretty! Love the blue flowers, the fabric is beautiful.

The runner and pillow are quite lovely. I do wish I had a lilac bush, just need to get around to planting one. And you're just like me, can never remember the names of plants.
I planted a dwarf lilac before I realized they came in white. Oh well. It is very hearty. I live just north of you on the Canadian border so our weather is very similar. It should do well, once it gets established.
everything is simply heavenly! hugs...
