My Living Room Art

It's amazing how a little wall art can make a room that much prettier. I'm so pleased to finally have some on my living room walls.

My art rule is that everything has to be vintage or hand-made in some way and local is very good. Bird cushion is by Anna Bartlett over at Shiny Happy Art.

Mmm, I never meant to have so many birds in my collection but it has somehow evolved that way. Art work includes vintage needlepoints purchased from Etsy and the piece (on right) purchased from Mondo Cherry.

Look Kerri, I finally have your artwork framed and hung! I had to photograph the prints from this angle to avoid too much glass reflection.

I also like Kerri's art framed here in floating frames which I didn't know existed until now. This photo is from Home Beautiful where it's been featured this month. Visit Driftwood Interiors to see more of Kerri's work.

Decorating doesn't seem so overwhelming if you just do a little at at time.

Needlepoint Love

I have been collecting pretty things for my home just like a bowerbird. I just adore needlepoint and it was the first craft that I ever learnt at tender age of 11 while visiting my godmother.

Vintage floral and birds are my favourites and I source them on Etsy, eBay and antique shops. Most of them need cleaning and framing but I'm just collecting for now.

You may remember this beauty from this post.

I'm hoping to complete this cushion kit this week purchased from here. I hope my daughter doesn't read this as she was upset that I didn't knit her the promised beanie for winter. Sorry baby! My intentions were good.

Happy crafting to you all.
