june at noon

It feels a little odd to have missed my “usual” posting schedule by not writing a post yesterday. But I was so caught up in wrapping up some small projects that I just neglected to get to the computer. It probably enjoyed the break!

So here I am, popping in late on a Tuesday night with a new post and an early shop update, because this week’s items are a bit timely in nature!

I’m not terribly effusive about celebrating Valentine’s Day, by which I mean that I don’t typically decorate or go crazy with heart-themed foods or anything of the like. But for some reason over the weekend I got the itch to stitch a few sweetheart items for the shop.

I started with the basic idea of an outline of a heart and experimented with different ways of filling it in. I was so pleased with the outcome of the first one that I got really excited and started stitching hearts left and right! I would’ve done more, but I had to reign myself in in the interest of perhaps getting around to the various household projects crying for my attention. I think I might try this technique again, though, in the future.

I turned the finished pieces into little lavender-scented pillows and flax seed sachets with linen and coordinating cotton prints. They’d be great as a gift for a Valentine, but they’ll work just as well at any time “just because.”

And now, it’s to bed for me, to store up energy for all the to-dos I’ve procrastinated all weekend long. ‘Night!
