I wanted to share my fabric journal that I was working on this past week. It really feels great to be sewing again and working on things in the studio. I used various vintage images that were printed on fabric and I tried to find them that had “pink” somewhere in the photo.
I incorporated lots of vintage embellishments: hankies, mother of pearl buttons, fabric flowers, antique laces and trims, doilies, and ribbon. This journal has a little locket that is attached to the ribbon streamers as well.
I will be listing this in my Etsy shop:

I am grateful to have power as well right now. Like many, Michigan was hit quite severely with a windstorm and over 800,000 were without power since Wednesday. Many are still without and it is COLD. I hope they get it restored soon!
Happy Friday!
Very pretty. Just saw your post on Instagram, too. Wind seems to be a big problem many places this weekend. Our weather took a turn, too, so our craft meeting won’t be in the garden. We’re moving to a coffee shop to escape the gray, windy day. Have a good Saturday.
Hello dear,
It is so adorable beautiful, and what a major work, you have done with this stunning book. I admire it so much !
Also happy you got your power back Nancy, it is still far too cold , if not being able to heat !! A lovely weekend to you !! xoxo
What a beautiful book you have created Nancy. I’m glad you’re back to sewing again. Spring is coming! Sue
This is so beautiful.. Such lovely colors and the images are so pretty! Are they printed on fabric? I really am inspired to make a lovely book someday. I’m so glad that you have heat and power. That would be terrible in that cold. Have a peaceful and happy weekend.
Hugs and blessings,
Tamara
Nancy, so happy to hear you did not loose your power. We were also fortunate and only lost ours for 2 hours.
Your fabric and lace journal is just exquisite!! Beautifully done!!
hugs,Jackie xx
Beautiful work. I recognize some of those sweet images from P.W. I should do this someday too…not sure I have enough
laces and doilies but I must be close! You got our wind it seems. Today was beautiful…57 degrees, calm and mostly sunny. It would seem spring is really on its way.
