The hardest part about being the owner of Minxden?? The moment, I finish with all of these beautiful pillow creations, I have to detach myself from loving them and giving them my own home...but with these vintage fabric pillows especially, it has been so hard to set them in a lonely dark box and have them make a flight/bumpy truck ride to their new adopted homes. Most are highly appreciated and instantly loved in their new homes, some are given as gifts to other loved ones and friends of theirs, but there are those select few that were sent back to me, which is ok, but I have heard that very few unfortunate lady pillows get thrown out in the trash, unloved and unwanted. This makes me so sad, my creations being thrown out. The vintage fabric pillows I have been so attached to, if they don't get sold in a 4 month time frame, then they either get adopted by me, or given as gifts to others I know. This one pictured above is my favorite one, it's been in my shop for 3 months now, even though she has been featured in many etsy treasuries, no one wants to adopt her, so I am very tempted to just keep her here among all of my other pillow friends and vintage notions, of course being snuggled with my cats as they rest on top of them in the lazy afternoons! What do you all think? should I just keep her, or have her stay in my shop just 4 more weeks until her listing expires in hopes that someone out there fancies her and wants to love her?
Looks like my t-shirt with vintage fabric on it has fared well over the months...
October is the month that officially kicks off the cold season here in Nebraska, that also means knitting season too! Although, the temps usually climb into the mid-high 80's right before or on my birthday...every year, never fails.
My next new project, it involves sewing and needle pointing! Hint: this project was inspired by an Irish proverb I recently read on another dear friend's blog, can't wait to finish it!!!
These pillow ladies await a new home!
Some of my handmade bird ornaments I bought from many other etsians!
