SIMPLY NEUTRAL TUESDAY #3

Welcome, I'm so glad you stopped by.  It's been a really busy week. So busy I missed the #2 event by an hour.  Wen at APPLEAPRICOT is hosting a Simply Neutral Tuesday event.

I made this card for my cousins wife, a good friend who had a 75th Birthday party. She loves old tattered, lace, vintage and Victorian.  I had a plan but my sewing machines (2) had major issues.
So had to finish this with glue and by hand.  My new machine arrived today. So will have to set it up and see how it works! 


A little collage in my studio..



And with the season, these 2 little owls are part of a few owls I've collected. 2 different sets of old lace the top is a small runner and the bottom is a circular piece for a round table.


I am caught up with my housework, garden products and laundry. Field work started today for my hubby so I'm on call for food, and changing of field transporting.  So the weeks ahead should be simpler...he had been cramming in day time events away and as we had a lot of fun it put me behind on daily work.  But then dusting, laundry and vacuuming can always wait. ! !

Thanks for stopping by. I enjoyed all the posted  Neutrals #2, and tried to visit most of the blogs.  It's a fun event.

Oh dear, I'm sorry to hear you missed the last event by an hour... but I'm very happy you're joining again this week :) Your card is gorgeous Sylvia. I love the beautiful flower and the little birdie you added. And how wonderful a collection is there in your studio with the beautiful laces. And the owls, sooooo sweet, I'm in love with them, especially the one on the left! Actually I have a small collection of owls myself as well. I think owls are such beautiful creatures. Thank you dear for joining the party. Wishing you a wonderful day and sending you hugs, Wen

Hi Sylvia Your card is so sweet as are your pretty owls.
You also have created a very vintagey vignette with the most gorgeous collected items. Thank you so much for sharing on Wen's Simply Neutrals and always for your kind comments.
Hope your week is gooing well!

Oh Sylvia, I would be so thrilled to receive such a beautiful hand made birthday card!
Beautiful old lace - I've always loved owls too and have a little collection of these wise old birds.
Good luck with your new sewing machine!

I love love love your neutrals! That owl is just too cute! I hope you are adjusting to your machine! I had to replace mine a few years back and it is funny how they make some so different!

Sylvia, your dear neutral owl is so sweet. I have been wanting to show my 10 year old daughter how to sew and thought this would be a great project, but sadly she is not interested...Your laces and other neutrals are gorgeous, too.
