Valentine's Day Picture Frame

Well, I just couldn't stop with making a Valentine's Day Wreath, I just had to make a Valentine's Day Picture Frame!
I am kind of like that, I will make something and then start looking around the house to apply the same technique to a different medium, changing up the colours etc.
I used large foil pink cupcake liners to make this picture frame. It was a simple wooden frame that I had around the house and felt like kicking it up a notch. I love the fullness of the frame and it really stands out. Much prettier and more eye-catching than the old one. See for yourself...

About Me

I am the happy Wife of Brent and Mom of 5 year old Ava. It's not unusual for me to have a variety of projects on the go at any given time. I love multi-tasking!

"For me, sewing is like a good book. It's hard to put down and each of my designs tell a story".

My grandmother Amelia first taught me to sew when I was 9 years old. My first project ever was a skirt make from a faded old yellow pillow case. Let me tell you, I wore that skirt with a huge sense of pride and accomplishment.

I remember my Grandmother telling me that sewing is becoming a lost art and that it was a shame there are many women today who don't know how to sew. Sewing was an absolute necessity for her while growing up in the early 1900s and was essential skill for surviving through the Great Depression. I am preserving the art of sewing with each item that is produced in my design room.

DIY projects get me excited while Nature inspires me...I love to look at objects created by Mother Nature Herself and convert them into my own fabric versions.

I started teaching Ava to sew at the age of 3. She is my biggest Fan and can't wait to see what I have made for her.

"For me, there is no sweeter moment than having little Miss Ava play with her dolls in my design room while I stitch away at my machine."
