My Mom Rocks!




My Mom's completely awesome. I have an old light purple TJ Maxx rug that I accidentally discolored while washing with an olive green Crate & Barrel rug. (I wash everything in the washing machine, the rugs are cotton.) I had a small piece of crewel fabric that I bought years ago laying around. So I decided to revamp the rug. Since Mom is so helpful, she took on the sewing portion of it, I'm just the person who comes up with the ideas. The rug is being recovered with the 60's vintage crewel fabric and is bordered by some olive green wool felt. It will go next to the bed I think.

Plum and Lion Etsy shop open



My etsy shop is now open! For sale are some 16" square pillow covers from Laos, hand embroidered by the ethnic Hmong tribe. I will eventually put stuff that I make and other loot from my travels in the shop.

(*7-18-07 I just got word from Etsy that I am not supposed to sell stuff from travels on Etsy, it has to be handmade by me. I've taken all the images down. So if anyone is interested in the pillows contact me by clicking on the link in my profile. I will be posting stuff I have made shortly!)
