Is this not the sweetest pillow?
I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas! I guess you could say we're still celebrating this week! All my kids have been here at home and we've been busy shopping, playing games, cooking, eating, hanging out with family and just having a great time being together!

When I was at my sister-in-law Gina's house I saw this pillow and fell in love with it. The detail work is just amazing! I am so drawn to detailed projects like this and you know me, I'm thinking maybe I'd like to try something like this myself! An extraordinarily talented friend made this precious pillow.
Just look at all the details! Pearls, tulle, tinsel, jingle bells, decorative stitching, tufts of fur, tiny doves, pom poms, lace not to mention the vintage photo printed on fabric. The coat and back of the pillow are made from pink felt. The front is a pale pink linen.
Not only is the creator of this adorable pillow super talented with fabric, you won't believe what she can do with paper!

She has crafted a 25 day, count down to Christmas journal each Christmas for the past six years. And that same attention to detail is evident here as well.
And lucky for us she writes a blog!
Good Grief Girdie is a treasure trove of ideas and creativity.
Gift Tags - Love this idea!
I've only scratched the surface of what you might find featured at
Many of "Girdie's" creations can be seen at the Paper Crown, a Scrapbook and Paper Artistry Store in Oklahoma City. In fact, Girdie teaches classes there on a regular basis. Check our their blog for more information on classes and schedules. They even have a online shop which will be up and running soon. In the mean time, anything seen on the Paper Crown blog can be purchased by email or phone.
I hope you've been inspired by Girdie! She amazes me with her talent and all her lovely creations. I just wanted to share a bit of her with all of you!
Go visit Girdie! You're sure to be amazed and inspired!

I always love decor with coats, dresses, gloves, etc. due to their whimsical feel. That one is extra special with the cute fur trim and sparkly details.
ReplyDeleteWhere does she find the time to not only craft, but make scrapbooks about what she did? If she bottled up her energy, I bet Girdie would make a killing!
Sonya Thank You for the sweet post and the kind words!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your family and Happy New Year to all of you!
I like her blog. But, is the only way to follow her through email? I'd rather have her in my blog roll. Lori
