shellie sews sweet stuff by the sea shore

For the past few months, I have been tackling many home décor projects, ranging from the small (wallpapering a cabinet) to the large (painting my bedroom). All of the hard work had been for the possibility of an opportunity that just actually happened that I will share very soon. {Hint!}

Helping me beyond words with feathering my nest during this process has been my dear friend Shellie. Whenever I get a big idea that requires sewing, Shellie is right there with enthusiasm, ideas, and her trusty measuring tape.



Shellie put these pillows together using some of my most favorite fabrics.



Shellie more than tidied-up this chair pad that I had "sewed."



Shellie can even decipher my Well, I want something unstructured and beachy . . . into something unstructured and beachy and beautiful.



She whipped this lovely valance together in record time and even made 2 pillow shams to match.

Shellie never allows me to pay her for her talents-on-demand, always insisting that this is simply what friends do. I do try to repay her with girls nights out (or breakfasts) on me.



I also want to thank sweet Sandi of Wayside Treasures who sent me this pretty runner, flower pin, and little Prima flowers just because they looked like "my colors." So thoughtful!

I am so very thankful for the friendships in my life -- offline and online.
