~~~Gettin In The Grove~~~

It's 107 degrees today and I am ready for the Christmas tree!! Oh yes I am. I just can't help myself. I have said every year that I would start on my creations for my shop early, and every year I have failed, oops, messed up. : ) But, not this year. This year I am ahead of the game and so proud of myself.


I made two of my stockings using a natural canvas. If you have been following me or reading this blog, you know how much I love this fabric. I bought some french images from Debbi of Marionberry Cottage and just love the way they look with cream lace, vintage lace and muslin.

Such a pretty color and this lace is cream and is vintage. I don't remember where I purchased it, but I wish I had more.......

And what could be cuter than a sweet silver tone Eiffel Tower charm?


Ah, cherries and tassels too. I have so much more to show you, but I have to contain my excitement for another day. Until then, I will leave you with this sweet tassel.


All this and more coming to my website Someplace In Thyme very soon.
