Princess Bubbles Creates

Last week I had the opportunity to travel with my sister in law, Ellen and her daughter Amanda.  We went to Tobermory to take photos of lighthouses.  We also went to the Flower Pot island.  I have wanted to see these rock formations for many years.  The weather was absolutely wonderful and the company was fantastic.  I couldn't have asked for a better time.

I had so much fun creating this book.  Who wouldn't enjoy working with beautiful lace and ribbons etc.  Truly I live in an abundant world where all my needs are met.  I have many beautiful treasures with which to work and play.  I have the time, energy and ideas to create.  I am blessed.

This page has a flap.  The bottom picture shows the flap closed.  The top picture shows it open.  Most of the lace and doilies I stitched onto the book with a sewing machine.  The rest of the embellishments were glued.

The top page is my favorite in this book.  Since I am also a crazy quilter I have tons of supplies.  Oh come on, I have tons of supplies because I am an artist!  We all collect.  At any rate it delights me to have what I need on hand when creating.  A number of things in this book come from my crazy quilt stash.  Stay tuned I have a few more posts to do about this book!

Wow!  It is hard to believe that I am a photographer of any sort.  That first picture is really not good but I just don't have time to redo it.  You get the general idea at least.  This book has been an exercise in letting go.  I enjoyed using up things that I have had for a while.   It is amazing but still beautiful vintage lace is coming to me.  I am working on a different sort of book with it and will post about it when it is done.  Until then I will continue posting about this book as I have a few more pages to show. thanks for looking!

Here are two of the vintage pages in the lace book.  Who doesn't love lace and ribbon?

I know this has been done before me.  I really love vintage though and I just had to make one for myself.  I went over the top with the doilies and laces.  I had a lot of fun making this.  I will show more pictures tomorrow.
