We are well into May now so lots of flowers are out there. I thought a cute and easy mug rug would be a fun Spring project to work on. I found this tutorial from JenniferJangles Blogspot on an easy sewing flower mug rug you might want to try. Great for your fabric stash and you can use all sorts of pretty colors!

Happy sewing!

Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Vintage Spring

Don't you just love Spring! I know I do. Everything is waking up from the long winter and getting ready for the summer days. There is still time to do some Spring decorating around your house and maybe use some vintage items for that so let's see what we can find on Etsy.

We can start with a very pretty Spring tablecloth like this very nice hand embroidered one from thespoolroom. I love all the pretty colors of the flowers on this one. 

Next we need some nice place mats for our kitchen table. Look at these very colorful and "springy" one's from NiceLandKnolls.

Ooo...ooo.....what better Spring flower than daffodils. I know most of the daffodils may be gone by now, but these are just so pretty you can hang this plate from SweetDaphneVintage on your wall and keep those daffodils around a little longer. :)

Ok...we have the tablecloth and place mats so I guess the last thing we need is a nice centerpiece with pretty spring flowers and TreasuresTimeworn has this beautiful pink flower and crystal basket that you can put on your table. Don't you just love all the colors in this basket!

Well there you have some great ideas for decorating your house with a little Spring still. Up in my neck of the woods Spring hasn't sprung yet, but the snow is gone!!  😄

Happy decorating!

Colleen :)
