A Promise of Spring....Daffodils & Pussy Willows

I spotted this amazing embroidery design during a recent sale at San Francisco Stitch Co. Right away, I knew I wanted to make it for my Mom, who loves both daffodils and pussy willows. She often brings me a branch of pussy willows in the spring.
I figured it would be a good Valentine's Day present. I had a bit of a time finding enough shades of yellow- I think there were 7 shades. I also mixed up the order of my yellows a bit, but it looks good anyway!

I found the perfect frame, too. It is a white-washed finish and it made me think of the beach, which is near their house. I framed it myself, as I would go bankrupt if I professionally framed everything I stitch! This is stitched on tan linen, which has a nice texture. My Mom and Dad loved it. I hope real flowers will come to my corner of the world soon- we still have snow.

ATV Sweatshirts

These were an order for a customer who wanted  matching sweatshirts for a couple who enjoy riding ATVs. I digitized the outline of an ATV and added the text.

Hers is pink:

His is neon yellow:

The recipients loved them!

Angelic Trio

I found this trio of Angels/Cherubs at a thrift shop last week. I  am not sure what they are made  of? Is this chalkware? Plaster? This is out of my realm of vintage sewing expertise, so if you know what they are I'd love to know. I'm pretty sure they are old- maybe the 1950s or 60s?
Here are pictures of each one- the middle one is supposed to sit on the edge of a shelf.

These will  become a new tradition to decorate for Christmas. Though I suppose they could stay out all year. If you know what these are, please post a comment. Tell me if they were a good deal for $2??
