a different direction . . .



Until now this blog has featured my furniture designs; today it's heading in a different direction . . .










Spring brings dogwood blossoms and thoughts of Easter and of course "Easter dresses" for all little girls.


A new division of Miss Hettie's has been launched--"Sweet Peas", featuring hand-sewn dresses from heirloom linens. Each dress is one-of-a-kind and may be purchased at On The Square Antiques, Troy AL Cost is $35.

Here today . . . Gone today

Snow . . . in the South! and on March 1st! Undeniably, we have wierd weather in the South--we had an 80 degree Christmas and snow today. Granted, the snow only flurried; but it came down so fast that it accumulated faster than it melted! I just wanted to share a few photos of south Alabama during the height of the "storm"!


Addiction . . .


another day--another footstool . . .


When I found this footstool it was begging to be "fluffed". It was a sad flat stool with beautiful needlepoint. Someone had taken months to finish the needlepoint--and then only tacked it down to a wooden oval and added legs. I just had to make it prettier! I added foam padding, batting, and "fluff" to make it soft and of course fringe to make it pretty. A real faceleft! Footstool is available at Miss Hettie's shop and at On The Square Antiques, Troy AL Price, $35
