Months ago Karen and I found these cute towels at a boutique and we challenged each other to make a pillow. I finally got mine done! The flower is not my creation, but a swap gift....I cut a doily apart and coffee stained it. Even my husband said, "That is quite nice"! WOW!
I have blog envy....now, don't you snicker, you all probably have it too! I see all these gorgeous cheese trays and lifts...for vignettes....but I just frankly, don't have any!! So what is a girl to do?
Make one!
I had this drawer front. I found the extra large spools and painted them and then put paper that went in my kitchen. Can you say, love it? I really think this is cute and I am going to look for a square piece of wood to do one!! IF I had some old door knobs...(I am in my Mamie Jane mode here!) I would use those!!
Yesterday and today I have been sorting and organizing my craft supplies. What a job...and I don't even have that much! But I got it done! I do have a couple of things I would like to make for Fall decorating. Or, I guess I should say I want to copy cat!! Anyways, later for that.
I am joining Marty for Tabletop Tuesday....

Great job on your projects, Ceekay. I love the verse on the pillow. You did a beautiful job on it. Looks like something one might see for sale in a gift boutique.
Ceekay wow you are just going full speed ahead with all your wonderful projects!!! That is such a fabulous idea using a drawer front and spools for the cheese tray! Love all the 'bee" things on it!
Your pillow-- just gorgeous!! Who would have known a tea towel could look so fantastic!!
I want to to to that tea room sometime!! I love tea and that looks like so much fun!!!
3 batches of jelly- 2 elderberry, 1 plum, 2 batches of zucchini bread and cleaning out a terrible junk drawer. That was my day!

Ceekay, cute pillow and shelf. That pillow was from a mighty cute towel. Thanks for joining Wow.
Hi Ceekay (have I ever told you how much I like your name?...It just sounds so happy!),
I think that's one of the cutest pillows. I love that you added the lace to the corners...something I haven't seen on all the Frency-grainsack / burlap things so popular now. This is soooo pretty!
Nancy
CeeKay, Awesome job!! That pillow is absolutely gorgeous!! Oh, to be so talented!!

Thank you for visiting my blog and for the comment.
I read your profile, you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
I am a cervical cancer survivor.
I am your newest follower too!
I LUV this pillow. You did a fantastic job. Tell me, did you make it so you can take the cover off to wash it...? I am about to make a couple of pillows and I am not sure how to do the envelope style. I'll probably just "make a regular pillow...much easier.
I love your riser, too. Good idea.
I love the little pillow to bits Ceekay!
Veronica
Your pillow is beautiful!!! And I love the little cheese shelf! Very creative engineering there! :)

That pillow is fabulous! I bet you win the challenge. I have not seen the raised cheese boards, it gave me an idea! Ureka! Have a great weekend! Oh, I have never seen fabric stamping pads in any stores, let me know if you find any, it would be easier than ordering on line
Carol
such a gorgeous pillow, and i love your magnetic board below, too:)
Like everyone else...I loved the pillow. I have been wanting something made in that fabric...
Wish I could sew..I would give it a try. You did a wonderful job!
Beautiful pillow! So good to see you today!!!!!! Blessings.
Hi Ceekay,
You did a beautiful job on your pillow! I love the towel that you used to create it. Great idea to cut up the doily. I always chuckle when my hubby comments on a project of mine. The one I posted today actually got a thumbs up from him!
Your lift from the drawer front was a great idea too.....you know I smiled when I read you were in your Mamie Jane mode :)
Have a wonderful weekend.
Jane
I'm really lovin' that adorable pillow you made, and how clever you are to make your own stand, smart girl!!! thanks so much for sharing the fun, xoxo
Ceekay,
I just love your pillow. It is awesome. The flower embellishment is gorgeous. You are very creative and talented.
It is funny because I have been on a pillow kick lately and made a few for Fall from dollar store kitchen towels. I love finding pillows and then embellishing them with vintage lace etc. So much fun to work on.
Your display lift made from the drawer front is perfect. What a great use of the drawer.
Have fun creating and great weekend.
Hugs, Celestina Marie
Ceekay you are just awesome! I love the doily corners on your pillow.
Thank you SO very much for linking up to Fall In Love Wednesday.
Beautiful! It's rare to find a blog that I want to sit and read from the first post to the last. Yours is one of the rare ones! Loving it all!
Wow, you did a great job on the pillow! I love the shelf too!
