I have been doing a little sewing these days and making a ton of these little frayed flowers.
The pillow below is one that I made from some white linen that I had in my fabric stash.
I am lovin' making these rosettes and adding them to everything in sight.
This pillow is actually for the bedroom, but the light was better out here so
I snapped some photos of it here and then off to the bedroom it will go.
~~~~
These little rosettes I made from lace instead of the frayed fabric.
Added a few buttons and sewed up an off-white linen pillow
and added them to it.
The lace pillow shown here with the linen pillow is one that I made before
Christmas and was always going to show it for a White Wednesday,
but never seemed to get it done. It is made with vintage lace that I had
purchased this last Summer while fleaing.
For more beautiful whites on this Wednesday, I invite you to go over to
Faded Charm for the links to others sharing today.
This is such an awesome publication. It has so many great projects to try.
I love the little paper bag on the front.
This is the article and instructions for the frayed flowers. I can't tell you how many I have made,
but it's a lot. Every little scrap I get my hands on seems to became a flower.

Now, I have some giveaway wins to share
.
Some time ago I won a giveaway at Andrea's Vintage Bella Studio.
I adore these burlap wrapped candlesticks. Andrea creates the most
beautiful things. I love going over to her place to view her latest
creations. If you haven't seen her beautiful creation in the new Apronology,
you just must!
The roll of stamped tickets are a sweet addition to my studio now.
Thank you so much Andrea, for pulling my name out of the hat.
I am enjoying my lovely wins so much.
~~~~
My next win came from Tracie at My Petite Maison.
Such beautifully wrapped packages. I love the old key so much,and the old French postcard with the sentiment written in French
on the back.
This win was filled with beautiful French inspired goodies.
The Cote Bastide room spray is so yummy.
The lip gloss from Clarins is amazing Tracie! I've been wearing it since it
arrived on Monday. How did you know that I needed this so much. I have a new love.
And this book Paris Patisseries is breathtaking!!!!
Of course just looking through it, put ten pounds on me. The photography
and text is so amazing. I hope you all get the chance to look through this
beautiful book.
Thank you so much Tracie for this wonderful win. I love it all!
You're the best!
My next win was from the One World One Heart event.
I met Lovey (don't you just adore her name) of Fabric Photo Memories,
when she came over and left a sweet comment at my place.
Her art is so beautiful and I was hooked on my first visit to her blog.
She creates with lovely fabrics and vintage photos that take me back in time.
Her artwork just speaks to me.
Isn't this beautiful?
Such a treasure. It will be a wonderful piece to enjoy everyday Lovey.
Thank you so much for this beautiful piece. I am so glad it was me!
I want to thank all these wonderful girls for their lovely giveaway wins. These
have already added so much beauty to my life. Thank you so much!
Speaking of adding beauty to my life. I want each of you who read and visit this
blog to know what it means for me to share my loves with you all.
This has added such a wonderful aspect to my life. These connections
with you all are so dear.

Dear June,
Your cushions are delightful, you clever thing ! They look so professional.
.... and what lovely giveaway wins. You seem to win so many of them. What I love about giveaway wins is that they are usually things that are put around the house and, everytime that you look at them, you think of that person, which is lovely, isn't it ?

Hello June, what beautiful rosettes! I agree with the other ladies, you should have a little boutique on line and sell your beautiful creations, I would be your first customer! Your pillows are just stunning! That magazine looks wonderful, I will see if our Barnes and Noble carries it... I like that it shows crafts made by recycling things... (the only way to go!)... And such beautiful giveaway wins... I can decide which is my favorite, I love them all, but that book from Tracie sounds so sweet! Love to you... xoxo Julie Marie
Sorry, that was supposed to say I "can't" decide which is my favorite, I really do love them ALL! xoxo Julie Marie

These rosettes are so beautiful and how clever to use them on pillows, however they would look divine every where, I am sure of that! Love the things you won! I love to see the generosity in blogland! You presented the gifts very beautiful too! Enjoy everything and have a lovely day!
Oh my dear June,
your pillows are gorgeous and those rosettes are most precious. What wouldn't I give to be able to make them myself. I believe your rosettes would make stunning pins to embellish dresses or even coats.
Hugs
Rita
I love that Green Craft magazine. I think I read it cover to cover and I saw those frayed flowers you made. You did a gorgeous job with the rosettes and the pillows. I always love all the whites that you show.

Love your new cushions you have made, how pretty with the handmade rosettes.
Also congratulations for all the delightful wins, your home is filled with so many pretty treasures.
I hope that you are having a great week.
Hugs
Carolyn
June, I hate to tell you this but...Lovey really picked MY name instead of yours. She MUST have misspelled it and sent it to you by accident. I mean seriously...it has my name all over it! ;)
Plus, I just LOVE your pillows and your pretty ruffled flowers. Can you believe that I've been making rosettes out of my scrap vintage velvet???? Those things are addicting...I can make about 6 just watching Gray's Anatomy!!! haha I just love them and I know what you mean!!!
You picked up some goodies here girl. I'm going to have to just quit entering the give aways...you win them all anyway!!!!!!
sniff ~ sniff
;)
how difficult are those rosettes to make? Considering I have a sewing maching but rarely use it and don't really know much about sewing. I was so inspired by your post that I went straight over to Amazon and ordered me a copy of Green Craft and now I can hardly wait for it to get here!!
Congrats on your latest wins, there truly are some thoughtful, talented women out there...Blessings to you.
These connections are dear, aren't they? I always love visiting your blog - for the images and for the 'quiet'place you make here.
SO PRECIOUS, DAINTY, FEMININE, ROMANTIC! LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM!
I'd love to get my hands on that magazine. I adore magazines! I'm fascinated by them. I always wanted to work in the magazine section of a super bookstore.
All of your pictures are wonderful today!
hugs
ANDREA
G'eve, June ~ You continue to amaze me with the peaceful gorgeous creations you design ... these rosettes are fabulous, the pillows are exquisite. Yes, you should have a shop of your own ...

Hi June-
These flowers are lovely. Now you need to make yourself a spring/summer outfit out of the linen so you can wear your flowers.
Have a great day-
Laura
June,
First off I want to say thank you. Every time I read one of your comments I feel so happy inside. You really make me feel special. Now, lets talk about those frayed flowers. Love the pillows, OMG. I was in Round Top last fall & saw one of those grand french chairs with the tall back, carved arms, you know. Anyway, they were covered in white canvas & the back had those frayed flowers in a white linen, 3 rows of 3. They were beautiful. Lisa
PS. I need you to rub my head for good luck or something. My gosh how many giveaways can a girl win. lol You deserve them all!
Those pillows are so dreamy and the little rosettes are the perfect touch of elegance. Congrats on your fabulous loot also.
I hope you had a wonderful WW.
Kathleen
June, I love your flowers and pillows! They are beautiful and very romantic looking! It's funny, for today I already had in mind to make all kinds of flowers. That must be the longing for spring which still seems to be a while away.
Congratulations on the lovely giveaways you have won!!!
Hugs,
Julia

What absolutely scrumptious creations. Those frayed flowers are so pretty along the pillows and the one with the ruffles...oh yeah...HOT!
And such wonderful goodies you won. Those fabric embellishments are beautiful.
Warm Winter Blessings ;-)
Thank you so much for your lovely comment, dear June........you are sooo sweet!!!!! The portrait from the littel girl i found on the flea market and i love it - if i look at that girl, it feels how i would look into a mirror!

Great winnings!!!

June!
You struck GOLD! Those giveaways are
BE-U-TEA-FUL!!! WOW! How fun is that?
Thanks for your sweet comment on my Mom. I miss her so much - and it's funny - I don't know why I always post that one picture of her. I just love it - it's my favorite. But I think I need to change it up a bit next time -e and yes, there will be a next time - always of my Mom.
You flowers are outstanding! I need to get that magazine e- I get the rest but just haven't seen the
Green Craft anywhere yet. Hmmmm . . .
Very fun!
Have a great day!
Karen
Some days are diamonds
Oh June,
Those frayed blooms are gorgeous! You should open a little shop if you can allow yourself to let any of them go, they are so sweet. You really have some lovely items there from Andrea & Lovey (fantastic name, I agree ;) Thank you for posting about my little goodies to you too from the giveaway and thank you for being so kind & not telling the world it took me forever to get the parcel to you. Now where do I get more time?? As always, I love to visit your blog for inspiration and most of all, kind spirit from you. Have a lovely weekend! Good luck on your hunt for a door as well, it's fun looking isn't it?

Your pillows are stunning and I love the rosettes. Wowza your photos are fabulous and perfectly showcase their beauty.
Congratulations on your giveaway wins...it couldn't happen to a more deserving and lovely lady!

You sweet June are a light to me even on the most dark day and I truly appreciate your sweet soul and kind spirit.
Big hugs to you Sweet Friend!

Did you crochet those roses yourself? I adore the button center! Your work is absolutely lovely, June.
And those giveaways! Aren't they grand? Nobody deserves them more and would appreciate them more than you! One wonderful, beautifully wrapped, creative gift after another. Lucky you!
I love visiting your blog!
You're very talented to create things which only belong to women world and that we all dream to possess at home!

Hi June,
Love your fabric flowers and pillows! Just gorgeous! And your wins are truly wonderful.
Wishing you a lovely weekend!
Zuzu
LOVE the roses on the pillow! So pretty. You are such a good photographer by the way!
Hi June, I just wanted to stop by late and tell you congratulations on all of your wins. Sorry it is late I have been gone taking my test. I love your pictures.....as usual!
Kim
June, those pillows are TDF! Is there a lot of sewing involved? I could see doing that with some sentimental baby clothes items from my kids and making a big pillow of, say, "sleeper rosettes."
I love the fabric flowers. I just started making some as well, maybe you are copying me. I have a little package I meant to send you on Valentines Day with some flowers I have been working on, but now I can't. Mine are weak compared to yours. You will have to show me how you did it.
Love ya bunches.
Those fabric flowers are sooo beautiful, is there a tutorial for them?
Love, Chani
