pocket full of posies...

I have been waiting

 for a l-o-n-g time

to show you this.

Remember this post 

about being afraid to try new things?

Ever since I saw these pocket pillows a few years back

I have really, really wanted to make some

but I have put it off

and put it off

and...

Well, one day last January

 my family was gone for the day

and

 I decided 

*today* 

is the day.

I spent the entire day going through linens 

deciding what to use where.

(Have I ever told you how much trouble I have deciding?)

By the end of the day I was here:

That was the first hard step.

They sat again for a few months 

waiting to be finished.

Finally, 

I couldn't put it off any more.

It was time for the photo shoot of my bedroom

and this pillow was going to be part of my bed shot.

Another day was spent embellishing with all of the  pretties.

Even though I was afraid to try

I had so much fun once I got going.

 I still have so much  to learn

 but there is so much satisfaction in trying.

I love them 

because 

they use all 

of my favorite elements:

off white linen

 snippets of vintage lace

cabinet cards

and

roses. 

I  enjoyed adding  romance.

This one was for my bestest of best friends.

I am so glad I tried!

Now,

 on to something else new...

You can check out all of the white pretties here.
