Green Velvet Cupcakes

I don't do a lot of decorating for St. Patrick's Day, but I did manage to make some cupcakes for my husband to take to work. I made these before coming to California.

I was so excited to find out that the Rose Bowl Flea Market was being held while I am in California. I usually don't time my visits right to attend. The day was glorious, blue skies and around 80 degrees. Off we went.

Sending a little Spring!

I just wanted to send a little spring to all of you who are still dealing with the cold and snow. Spring is coming, although it probably doesn't seem that way right now with the ground covered in white.

We were at our other house this weekend, and the azaleas were blooming and they were so beautiful. I thought I would share a few pictures with you.

Doily Dresser Scarf

I realize that I am posting another doily project but as I said before, I love doilies. This particular project was done last fall and you saw some of it on the side table in my spare bedroom. I wanted to show you how I made it.

I have seen this done with doilies stitched together by themselves, but I wanted to put a based with mine. So I started with a piece of a lace curtain. I cut it the size of the top of my nightstand.

Here is the backside of the topper. Once I had the base cut, I began to place doilies on the lace.

I didn't fill in all areas. I did add various pieces of lace on top of the doilies. Once I liked the layout, I began to stitch the pieces down. I just stitched them on.

Although I liked the look, I wanted more, so I added lace pieces down the sides of the top.

I pinned all the pieces of lace to the top and then stitched them on my sewing machine. Still not enough, I add a piece of lace over these to make it look more finished.
