Happy Monday Everyone! I can't believe that my kids start school tomorrow. I will miss them during the day,but this also gives me a chance to create more. I haven't had much time to participate in my favorite Show and Tell Mondays at Make Mine Pink. So I am happy that today I can. I have been working very hard all summer. And have been creating new pillows. So I decided to try something that is time consuming,but fun to do. I created two pillows where I embroidered roses and leaves with pretty ribbons. This is my first time making this style. I have a passion for roses and always wanted to make pillows that remind me of the Victorian era. The more detail the better.
I have two pillows to show you. One is black and one is a peach color. Both have different colored roses to match the fabric. I also added lace trim to each pillow to give it flair. Hope you li
ke them. I will be adding them to my boutique this week.
Another one of my favorite things are corsets. I admit that I don't own one,but find them to be very romantic and pretty. So I made my first corset shaped pillow. I will be adding a handle so it can be hung for display for home 
decor. Hope you like this one too.
Thanks so much for stopping by and please stop by my pink sisters blogs to see what they have been up to for Show and Tell. They always have such pretty things to show and don't forget that pretty soon the holidays will be here so it's the perfect place to shop without standing on a long line. :-)
Enjoy your day!
Hugs,
Janet~

Hi Janet,
I have missed you! The pillows are beautiful. I have to say my favorite is the black one. I have seen ribbon embroidery, but never tried it. It looked too difficult. You have done a great job.
